IME, most of the tools never get used, & many have no use on a modern bike (hex wrenches).
I'm with asmac- tire levers, chain tool, 2 allen wrenches, & also mini needlenose pliers- surprisingly useful.
I carry a multi tool (crank brothers), tie levers, a spare tube, a CO2 kit, with an extra CO2 cartidge, patch kit, my ID, and at least $50 in cash. Never know what's out there or what will happen on your ride. I ride mostly in east TN. Been in a few jams and made it back home due to several items I carry...be it cash, tube or more. Will gladly take on the extra weight for items that would allow me to fix any issues on a ride.
