What kind of tools are you guys carrying with you when you go biking? I had a bit of an uncomfortable situation with my seat while I was out biking yesterday and I'm starting to see the benefits of keeping some sort of tool on hand now haha

Should this cover most of my needs while I'm out and about? Anywhere local carry these?

Looks like you can get the M19 for about the same price shipped on ebay. That's two more better than the M17!

A set of allen keys and a tube/patch kit and tire levers is generally all I ever take on my longer rides. I have the m19 and it's stashed in my Camelbak so I carry it when I'm using the Camelbak, but otherwise it's too much to carry around all the time.

Im a bit of a Park Tool whore...

Id recommend the IB-2 or the IB-3 if you want a chain breaker.
I just carry the IB-2, but both are sickkk!!!

I carry the Filzer I-Tool Grande (http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Cycling/Tools/HexMultiTools/PRD~5012-357/filzer-i-tool-grande.jsp) if away from civilization. If I'm in/around town I like to live on the edge - no tools/tube, just food/ID/cash.

I'm the same with you Penguin, only when I really head out is it really necessary to carry all that crap with you

Swak I'm pretty sure everyone becomes a park tool whore at some point. I would get the IB-3, because sometimes you just need a chain breaker and it's the difference between needing to call someone for a pickup or getting your hands a bit dirty

I just got a Pedro's Tulio - love it! Out of sight/mind but I have it in a pinch (even a chain break)

I'm not uber weight concious so I carry a bunch of tools around - crescent wrench, multi tools and small pliers.
