Bought First Saddle Bag-Supplies?

[marni]

I thought I had forgotten another important thing that I carry in my saddle bag: a Connex quick link (and multi-tool w/ a chain breaker).

And for those of you that do manage to bring a bit of duct tape along (been there done that with slicing a leg open on the chainring while crashing and the duct tape idea is brilliant for that), how do you manage to bring some along?

I wrap my jimmi wallet in short overlapped lengths of duct tape. My son has a wallet he made of duct tape which is dis assembled if needed.

For tire boots, I too have used a monetary bill, a gu wrapper. These days I cut small 1" sections of a bad tube and then slice them lengthwise- I have been known to duct tape his small patches around a questionable tube, plus they make pretty good, flexible, boots.
