Having problems with message search?
Nice photos and descriptions. Very interesting.
I have a tool roll too but it is an old tshirt.
I have sockets as well as spanners and i have a few odd size spanners too, to cover the hi-tensile nuts and bolts now scattered all over my bike. Putty metal stuff incase I crack engine case. Spark plug, brake lever. Detont lever ( Selector Arm).
I also carry washers, spacers, nuts and bolts in a range of sizes and lengths. And i am always digging in to the pile for me or someone I am riding with.
But I dont have vice grips, magnets, gauge shims, tappet adjuster, or USB drive!!!
Otherwise, yes, the same. Definitely enough to handle everything except major repairs inside the engine.
But I can easily get in and remove the clutch on the road if needed, stressful but not that hard, just carry oil!
I cant believe that guy saying "you guys carry light tool boxes."
3 tyre levers?... You only have 2 hands....But its hard to argue with personal choice or using your knee.
Next time I change a tyre I will make a video for you tube of me putting a tyre and tube on with NO tyre levers. Hard to pinch a tube using that method. But I am 95kegs. Its all in the patient footwork after that.
The hardest thing about changing a flat tyre is mentally dealing with the fact that you are about to change a flat tyre. It just sucks.
Cheers
Josh

Hi Greg,
Josh's list sounds pretty familiar as it's close to what I carry, except for the sub-zero gear (when it's that cold, I avoid bikes).
For tools, my aim is to carry the minimum I can get away with. Here's a link to see how my tool roll is organised.
Cheers
