what kind of seat bag will be big enough to fit all this?, i looked at some seat bags and they look a little small to cram all that in. what tire lever are you using? because i normally use screwdrivers and Phillips to swap of the inner tube. does duck tape work as a good patch repair or not? also what stuff do people ordinarily put in their frame bags? food? or more tools.?.

Get a patch kit from your LBS. It will include everything you need, including tire levers. Less than $5. I think the mfr is Tire Innovations. Duct tape won't work as a patch, but will work as a boot in a tire. Then again, so will a folded up dollar bill.

Good Question.
I carry everything but the kitchen sink with me,
I'm one of those people who always wants to be prepared, and go over the top doing it. Here it goes, 1 tube new, patch kit,
5 millimeter Allen wrench, multi-tool, 1- adjustable wrench, micro pump, spare
chain link, Rain suit, reflector vest, spare batteries, flash light, ( micro pump ) , first aide kit,
spare flash light, ( micro version ), chain brake tool, my bike weighs around 31 pounds, with
crappy Suntour forks, heavy seat, ( that I love, with springs ), but when you add in rack, trunk
bag, built in panniers, Speedometer, light, it adds around another 30 pounds. Not counting personnel items cell phone, wallet, etc.. plus fluid's, now I'm looking around 60 t 70 pounds, that might be the reason I only average around 9.4 MPH on a ride, plus I live in a very hilly
area. ( Wonder what I might be doing on a light weight bike ), but I do not want to push it home, or call for a ride...
