I broke a chain for the first time, far from home! Luckily, the local bike shop was downhill. I coasted down & paid them to replace the chain (needed a spare anyway, took the old broken one home to add new links and re-wax). It appears I'm not packing all the tools I need.

Q4. What tools should I carry on all bike rides? (I usually carry a patch kit & small pump, but no chain tool nor master link) What else am I missing?!

@ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite A4: I definitely carry a quicklink (master link for modern chains). Often I carry a spare tube, always tyre lever(s), multitool/allen keys with at least 5mm and 6mm. And the pitlock "key" you get my wheels off.

Touring I carry more, a cut down 15mm ring spanner, chainbreak, chain lube, spare tyre and etc depending on how I feel.
