What size or type multi-tool should I carry with me on a ride?
Ultimately you have to decide what is best for you! but here is my two cents.
During any ride with loose cleats, a rattling bottle cage or a bent derailleur is annoying and dangerous for sure. Carry a multi-tool equipped with hex wrenches (up to 8mm, for crank bolts), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers (to reset the limits on a bent derailleur), a chain tool (8- and 9-speed compatible) and a spoke wrench. Make sure you know how to use each tool. A chain tool does you no good if you have no idea how it works. I keep my tool in my back jersy pocket in a zip lock bag with some of the following items. Tissue paper (just incase mother nature calls), cash and I identifacation card. You might be wondering why I don't just keep all this stuff in a saddle bag well I prefer a very small bag just for tire repair items - spair tube, Park Tool TB-2 Emergency Tire Boot, Park Tool GP-2 Glueless Super Patch, Park Tool TL-1 Tire Levers and extra Genuine Innovations 16g Threaded CO2 Cartridge. My Mini hand pump is also keeped in my back jersey pocket.
