That reminds me of...


from http://www.sheldonbrown.com/velos.html

Its a hub tool, spoke wrench and beer opener!

Just got done restoring (which in my definition is cleaning the **** out of and repacking/greasing/installing everything frame up) a '73 Motobecane Grand Jubile, so it's fresh on my mind, that page.

But seriously to answer your question... I had a little multitool (not a Leatherman, I have one of those too..) that was a cheap adjustable wrench with foldout phillips and flathead screwdrivers. That and a small little 5 and 6mm allen key (stack bolts, pedals, quill stem, bars, seat, seatpost) fit in my saddle sack or my backpack always and yes its a sin to use an adjustable wrench on a bike, but if you're ****ed, the thing would remove my 15mm track nuts when set all the way open. I sufficed.
