The stuff that you *always* take riding with you; the kind of stuff people commonly have a little bag under the seat for. Maybe you just keep it in your backpack/messenger-bag, or even just shove it under your seat with duct tape. It's what I like to call my "shit-kit" because that's what you'll start saying when you realize you forgot it...

Get specific.

"glueless" patch kit

terrible as a permenant fix, but they're lighter and good enough to get me somewhere I can buy a new tube.

Money

Cash is good for that emergency ice cream, or a taxi home with the tacoed wheel.

12g CO2 cartridge

the smallest size. Just enough to fix a flat in a road tire.

a 15mm "stubby" box wrench

it's a bit heavy, but I don't have quickrelease tires, so there isn't much other option.
