    For me just:

    Crank Brothers multi tool
    One tube
    17MM spanner (bolt through rear end)
    couple sram links
    Zip ties
    Pump – Insulation and Gaffa tape wrapped around it for bike/injury use.
    Brake pads but only if riding in the Alps.
    One large sterile bandage.

    I don’t see the point in a first aid kit. We’ve been able to bandage up a fully exposed elbow bone with a sterile bandage and gaffa tape. Any worse requires a rescue, anything less can be ignored.

    My first aid kit is one I put together myself, I just happen to keep it in the original pack for visibility. Its full off large graze dressings, two sterile bandages, gauze, steri-strips and some tape.

    All the piddly plasters and stuff in the off-the shelf number are a waste of time for MTB style injuries.

    I’m with mrmo on this one, a wee seat pack with inner tube, CO2 thing, small Park Tool, SRAM chain link, tyre levers. In back pockets Pertex shell or waterproof, gel or bananna or jelly babies, phone and that’s it for 90% of my riding if I am heading into the back of beyond I’ll carry a wee pack with all the gubbins you lot carry.

    Ah, this reminds me on the Fat Cyclist’s take on all this…

    http://www.fatcyclist.com/2008/01/15/how-to-be-popular-part-i-what-to-carry/

    Incidentally, I reckon I fall into the ‘overpackers’ camp of the STW massive.

    stuff?

    multitool (allen keys, screwdrivers, torq25, chain tool)
    spare gear cable
    zip ties
    tube and patches
    pump
    food (not particularly planned)
    bandages& plasters, (again, unplanned, just enough to wrap up something thats bleeding a little too badly, no point going overbord, if its that bad your going to need profesional help)
    space blanket/sleep sack
    money
    phone etc

    Nothing special in there, 99% of riding in this country isn’t remote enough to warrent full on survival kit!

    Multitool, patches, powerlinks, at least one spare tube, pump (and none of your tiny pocket pumps, a proper big un that’ll actually inflate a tyre before nightfall), waterproof, my “soft shell” which is a cheap Mountain Warehouse fleece with the lower arms cut off…

    Couple of big sticky plasters and some painkillers (got a couple of tramadol in there, in case I ever want to walk off a hill with a broken foot or something), phone and money. Oh and headphones for the phone.

    Plus loads and loads of food, I like to eat as I ride. Clif Shots, energy bars, gels, dextrose tablets. Oh, and if I’m anywhere remote a foil blanket, good for keeping warm but better for signalling help.

    wow!! serious lists, and when we ride out for days touring ours can look like these lists, but when out normally I try to keep to one small tool 9 bits? (Topek Mini)… one tube, Park patches and a mini pump. If I can they go under the seat (tubes + patches) tool in a pocket, pump on the frame. If its a long run and wet maybe a really small bottle of oil / mini first aid kit / food / extra layer. Touch wood – I have been riding off road for years 2-5 times a week and never needed more.
    Though sprog James races DH – and they go for 2-3 min runs each time maybe 8-10 in a day and can need a estate boot-full of tools and spares to keep him going.

    Smoke grenades are great for a quick getaway but they do weigh a bit. I’m thinking of investing in a Bat Man belt.
