I'll bite. In addition to the basic bike tool set > On my bike every day: Stainless steel safety wire, plastic fork & spoon (ever forget these on a camping trip? I have!), electrical tape, small bottle of Scottoil for the oiler (also good on cables, pivot points, etc... in a pinch), spare fuses, a couple of feet of electrical wire, wire ties - both plastic and metal, dollar store compressed-into-pellet-size hand towels packed in a 35mm film can, 1/4 in. drive sockets in 8,10 & 12mm + the driver , extensions & an adapter to turn cordless screwdriver bits in common, #2 and #3 phillips head, tire gauge, collapsable bicycle pump, Moose racing multi-tool/plier, half a hacksaw blade with electrical tape protecting stuff from the teeth, assorted small metric bolts and nuts suitable for replacing those shaken loose, a couple of nylon license plate bolt and nut pairs, a few bungee cords and bungee net plus a micro fiber cloth in a sealed container alongside a tiny spray bottle of water/vinegar mix for cleaning my glasses and face shield. That's what I can remember, anyway. And remember we should. It would stink to be in a situation where you needed ___ and didn't realize you had one with you. =) eddie

Whats your duct tape type MUST pack in your kit items? the odd ball MacGyver Item to take for an Emergency repair etc. Mine: besides Tapes, liquid JB weld, Zipstrips, GIANT twisty ties, I found that on packages for toys tools etc. you can find some extra thick, 1-2 foot long twisty ties, (like on bread bags.) It's like have insulated (plastic coated) baling wire. doesn't scratch (usualy) Vasoline (small pill bottle filled), lube a part, for cuts, lipbalm, or starting fires. Trash bag (heavy duty large commercial) on trips lays in the bottom of saddle bags. Whats you ODD BALL MACGYVER ITEMS
