I like the Park MT 1. No chain tool, but I've needed a chain tool only 2X that I can remember in 50 years of riding. I've ruined cogs or chainrings as often!
In addition to the Park tool I carry at least 2 tubes -- containing Stan's for the Fargo and the Ram, and in addition patch kits for the two customs that don't have Stan's in the tubes (the Kojaks and, surprisingly, the very skinny, light, HP 23 mm Pro Race 3s don't get nearly as many flats as the tires on the two other bikes). And of course tire levers (Quik Stiks where the tires are loose enough for them), tire boots, saddle cover, a tiny little pocket knife, and on the 2 night bikes extra AAA batteries for auxiliary lights. All the kit, including the small HP Lezyne for the gofast, fits into a small saddle wedge. Pumps: HpXs for the Ram and '03 Riv, Lezyne minis for the Fargo and '99 gofast, though I might swap to a full size pump on the last.
