Picked out some items for a flat kit, any opinions or recommendations?
Also, did i get the right size tube for my mavic cosmic elite wheels? I am assuming 60mm presta valve was the right size.

- Continental 60mm Presta Valve Tube, Black, 700 x 20-25cc

- 16g Threaded CO2 Cartridges 6-Pack Mole-Zap/Ant Zap Refills

- Portland Design Works Shiny Object CO2 Inflator

Looks good other than you need to add...

- need a tire lever
- need a $10 (emergency money / bribe money for a ride home / boot for a hole in the tire)

And of course a cell phone

60 mm should be plenty for that rim.

To Leegoocrap's additions, I'd add:

a) A second tire lever (two total)
b) Small patch kit
c) Multi-function bike tool

Any recommendations on a multi tool?

For a road bike, it doesn't have to be anything fancy.
The one I use is a super 'cheapy' that came with a seat bag
You just need the basic stuff to keep you going.
Something like this: http://amzn.com/B000FIE49A

For a MTB, the tool should be more comprehensive...
