Its called a wedge, right? The bag thats sits under your seat.
I'm starting to go on longer (30+ mile) rides and need to be prepared for emergencies.

Mine is stuffed. I keep an extra tube, micro hand pump, patches, two allen wrenches, two tire levers, cash ($1.00 bills for machines), iphone, sometimes a cliff bar or two and maybe a gel.

Dang, either y'all are really stuffing those bags or mine is just really tiny. I can only fit two tubes... and a patch kit box, if I smash everything in.

^^ I carry the same stuff in mine, minus the rag (but it's a good idea, I'll probably add one). I also carry a patch kit.

Add some duct tape (can be used as an emergency patch) , a few zip ties . Some guys carry a small pair of side cutting pliers or even a pair of nail clippers for trimming cables. Rubber surgical gloves to keep your hands clean. Takes up no space and weighs nothing.
My cell phone, ID, money, some extra endurolytes, a few select loose allen keys, and food bars go into a pocket or sometimes I use a small fanny pack.

1 tube, 2 tire levers, presta-schrader converter and tire boot. On long rides, I'll add another tube and a CO2 cartridge/pump.
