Up to this point, I haven't had any mechanical problems when riding (chain fell off but got it back on. Others have had issues that I have been with though) nor any medical emergencies (knock on wood).
What do you keep/carry in a pack for problems you probably will encounter in terms of mechanical issues and medical emergencies? Certain kits? Something that would be really handy if there was an issue ect.
I am wanting to put something together because I don't like being unprepared and know it is just a numbers game till one or the other happens.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

Aside from the basic tools:
21" tube
Lots of air canisters (like at least 6, but as many as you can fit)

I would like to add one thing to the lists above: a small tube of super glue, because that stuff can close a bleeding wound in an emergency.
Oh, for you guys (like me) who take their cell phones, check out Xeno's sweet Moto USB port kit he sells! You gotta keep that thing charged.
I use the RAM phone mount as well, although I think that it needs to be built a little more rugged.
I run a slime electric pump that is powered from my battery. (this one)
