I just ordered the leatherman, spare tubes, a decent patch kit and a decent pump from Amazon. I was out in the garage, selling my titus MTB and took off the tool pack to find that it is a Topeaka Survival Kit. Has a set of allen wrenches, a couple of wrenches (small and I mean small), a couple of patches and a chain tool along with the plastic tools for taking off the tire. Has anyone ever used this stuff? I have had it on my MTB since 2009 and never used anything but the allen wrenches and tire tools. I also found an allen wrench set that included a set of hex head wrenches and a chain tool. Is it better to use a "kit" or put one made up of individual tools?

How do you get a small vial of chain oil?

And the cotton ball idea makes a lot of sense as does the tie wraps, etc. My kit is growing. LOL

Also on a related topic, water bottles...hate the taste of warm plastic tainted water. Do they make a water bottle that is sturdier and made out of better plastic? I don't need a racing bottle that I will take a drink as I roll along at 30 MPH. Will probably stop for a minute and use the few minutes to stretch and take a drink. Or is that wimping out? LOL
