    Tiny light ones Lezyne make great ones. But so so a lot of other makes. I just get one which has 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and philips screwy, thats enough really.

    You can get ones with more of course, but would you use any of the items on it?? I don't have chain breaker with me on mine, but carry a spare magic-link, so I don't think Id be able to work magic out of a lot of chain break situations.

    Some have a tyre lever thing on them, but I carry tyre levers.

    As far as I carry one for, as long as I can undo a stem, tighten headset, index a mech, change seat post height Im happy, so I just bought the lightest one to carry. It might be this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-sv-5-multi-tool/
  • Crank Brothers 19 Function Multi Tool. Don't take my word for it, read the 319 positive reviews on Wiggle. I've had a few different makes over the years, this is easily the best I've used. Very robust, has everything you'll ever need, and every tool works. It has a LIFETIME warranty. Can't go wrong at £22.50
