One tube, Hutchinson 700X23-25 100 gram short-stem presta
Approx. 6 small round patches
One large oval patch
glue
small square of sandpaper
three medium size normal band-aids
two large (playing card size) band-aids folded
two small square packets of antiseptic wipes
park tool MTB-3 multitool without chaintool (sram chain)
So far I've used up about 2/3 of the room in the bag, and it's not heavy at all..
I need to get a co2 inflater and two cartridges, which should leave enough room for a couple of clif bars and some gels.
It's a 104 cu. inch cannondale.

Tube, levers, allen key set, folding screw-driver with phillips and flat heads, roll of electrical tape. Altoids tin containing several hair ties, bandaids of various sizes, ibuprofins in a baggie. Small bottle of sunblock. Asthma inhaler. Door-scanny card in the outside pocket so I can get into the office in the mornings. $5 in ones, in case I have to take the bus or want some juice or something.
I coulda been a Girl Scout, eh? Fairly well prepared.

I remember seeing a post from Khuon last month showing what he takes on rides - a really complete assortment of stuff.. Probably double the total volume of stuff most of us carry:
If I remember correctly it fits in a 240 cu. inch bag like this:

tube
real (vulcanizing glue) patches (the glueless ones don't work for ****)
patch glue
small rectangle of sandpaper
two tire levers
multitool (hex set, screwdriver, etc)
I have an under-bottle-mount pump, so no CO2 cartridges for me.

I have one of those Pedros intertube seatbags, made out of old intertubes. It contains:
- levers
- Topeak Alien
- spare tube
- Parks adhesive patch kit
- CO2 inflator, w/ 1 extra cartridge
- Mini Visa
- Paper towel (to prevent rattling)
- And an occasional key, when the @#$%^ thing hasn't fallen out during the ride.
I'm pretty good at stuffing small seat bags.

Alright, am I the only one who has the great stand-by from days gone by? A dog-bone wrench? I've got the same one I packed on my Typhoon when I was a kid. I don't know that it fits much anymore with the metrics, but it has sentimental value just having tagged along with me for so many miles!
