Many of the tools named in these lists can be combined in
multitools. Multitools by companies such as Leatherman, Pedros and Park, commonly
include screwdrivers, allen wrenches, chain tools, spoke wrenches, knives,
wrenches, and tire levers in one unit. These multitools can offer
considerable weight savings over carrying individual tools.
Optional items could turn into necessary items depending on
length and locality of the ride.
