[...] can buy. Their CO2 inflators are high quality and something every bicyclist needs to carry in their seat bag. I did a review on their Second Wind Road Mini Carbon a while back that would make a great gift. [...]

@GoTubeless: Nope, haven't even looked at a tubeless system. Maybe I should. Thanks for the tip.

Have you looked at trying out a road tubeless system? Since the first 5 items in the bag are related to flats, might try putting something in the wheel to stop flats. I do it mainly to reduce/avoid the most common problem we face on the road. Even riding tubeless with sealant, I'd still carry the stuff you have listed. Heck, you can always give your tube to a friend who isn't tubeless.

@Arlyn: Thanks for your input. Like to have the patch kit just in case. They weigh nothing and are a low cost investment. You're right, you get get away with one tire iron but I like two "just in case."

Nice list Bryan, it's about what I carry except I don't bother with the patch kit.

I only use my iPhone on a ride in the case of emergency or to take pictures with (mobile blogging!).

I once rode past a guy who was cycling and talking on the phone at the same time – I guess I live in SoCal.

As far as tire irons, you only need one. Insert it into the gap between tire and rim like normal. Pull it down and then pull sideways, moving the tire iron alon the rim edge, which pulls the sidewall away from the rim. I haven't used two tire irons in forever.

@jaxgtr: Cool. I’m going to have to see this pump you’ve got the next time we ride.

I carry, CO2 inflator and 3 carts, patch kit, tire irons, 18 tool mini tool, a tube inside and a tube on the bottom of the bag.

The pump is really there to get you some pressure to make it back to where you started or to finish. The Topeak Road Morph however gives a better effort to air pressure ration and I can get my tires to about 115 psi without too much trouble. This was in my garage, however the wheel was on the bike.

@Jody: That's why I don't use a pump. I've used some before that you just can't get enough pressure in the tire. I hear there are some out there that can but I want to see them in action first.
