I also do not like multi tools. not as useful as individual.
I use (road find) a 4" adjustable wrench, small and does all the nuts.

Ryko: On your page you state a "Schrader-Presta valve stem shim" What the heck is that. I ask because I have a bike with both sets of valves and end up carrying 2 sets of tubes.

khuon: You're a lucky flatless man. I don't have many after 15,000 miles but I do have some. I have about 6.

kill.cactus: depends on your tire: Schwalbe Marathons plus, Continental Contacts, and Specialized Amardillo Nimbus are 3 of the best at minimizing flats. Tuffy tire liners also add some flat stopping power.

CO2 cartridges are good during winter if your pump freeezes up. happened to me once.
