Ack - that's a good point.
Are basic chain tools like the CT-5 being reconfigured to work for 9/10/11
speed chains? I haven't progressed past 8 speed (and don't plan to). I wonder
if I should start to stockpile chain tools...

I used to carry a CrankBros multi-with chain tool but the chaintool bit
broke on the trail when I was trying to fix a guys chain. I carry a
separate Park mini chain tool now. Not as convenient but hopefully more
reliable.

I guess it's easy to leave off details in the inventory. The Ibu is a
given, along with a Rivendell coin purse full of fasteners.

Isn't that why S24O's are in the tool kit? Grin.

I've put together a dedicated kit for each bike, so I don't have to think
before leaving the house. Each kit includes:
Multi tool with real, usable, allen wrenches
The Park AWS-11 is a favorite, but any set of basic metric hardware
store wrenches like this will do:
So disappointed...

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
WRT to a chain tool: forgot to say that I use masterlinks on all 4 chains,
which largely removes the danger of chain breaking caused by operator
error. On the 2 X my chain came apart or started knocking the rd cage
plates it was because I'd re-assembled the separated links incorrectly.
With master
I just posted a pic of my current set-up on Flickr:

I usually also have a few links of spare chain in there but not sure where
I put it at the moment. My kit's been in flux as I've been switching around
bikes lately.

I thought I would reply to the tool choice thread.
I recently got some of the Fix It Sticks and was quite impressed - and they are
made in the USA.

I have them in stock - if you want give me a call

I find room for a spoke wrench and a spare master link too.
