jinkies! take the repair stand and your entire toolbox.......at least any tool you'd conceivably need (short of full welding kit) to repair any of your bicycles. take spare cables and brake pads and a rotor or two....and nuts and bolts and lubricant and a couple chains and a cassette, tubes and tires. if you have the space take a few spare wheels.
space and weight aren't a problem. might save your driver half a day with a broken whatsit to the nearest town with a bike shop when you could have everything on hand.
