What\u2019s in the bag: <\/strong><\/p>\n Park Tool Self-Adhesive Patch Kit<\/a> ($6, 4 grams) Tire Levers<\/a> ($5, 24 grams) Tire Casing Boot<\/a> (varies) Ritchey CPR-9 Multi Tool<\/a> (discontinued, 24 grams) CO2 Cartridge<\/a> (58 grams) and inflator (14 grams) Also included: <\/strong><\/p>\n Total weight of the packed bag = 347 grams<\/p>\n Other:<\/strong><\/p>\n Phone, with DistilUnion Wally Stick-on pocket<\/a> ($30) for credit card, $20, and more business cards (in a LocSak<\/a> or ziploc bag on wet days).<\/p>\n![\"Silca](\"http:\/\/cdn.kk.org\/cooltools\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Silca-Seat-Roll-1024x768.jpg\")
\nSilca Seat Roll<\/a> (discontinued, 100 grams)
\nSome riders carry all their gear in their jersey pockets, but I like to reserve those for my jacket, phone, and food, so I use a small bag under the saddle. My current favorite is a Silca Seat Roll, waxed canvas that wraps like a burrito. It’s discontinued but similar products are available. I like the tool roll design because I can unroll it on the ground and easily get to all my gear when I need to make a repair.<\/p>\n![\"WIMB\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.kk.org\/cooltools\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/WIMB-768x1024.jpg\")
\nSpare Tube<\/a> (varies, 110 grams)
\nLighter tubes are available.<\/p>\n
\nEmergency use only if I flat more than once.<\/p>\n
\nThese are Lezyne Matrix Power Levers which work well for me.<\/p>\n
\nIf a flat tire damages the casing of the tire it’s helpful to have a tough, flexible material like Tyvek to patch or “boot” the tire.<\/p>\n
\nThis handy little multitool includes 2-6mm allen wrenches, a screwdriver and a spoke wrench. It’s got no moving parts and it’s very light weight. I bought a few before they were discontinued. For bigger adventures I sometimes bring a larger Ritchey multitool with a chainbreaker.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough I carry a good pump, on this bike I also carry CO2 cartridges for quick inflation when I’m on group rides and people are waiting. This costs me two ounces, on some of my other bikes I just rely on the pump.<\/p>\n\n

\nLezyne Road Drive Hand Pump<\/a> ($45)
\nI’ve tried just about everything and I recommend the Lezyne Road Drive pumps that attach with a threaded hose. The larger ones weigh about 110 grams, make it easy to inflate a tire to 100 psi, and mount securely on the bike’s water bottle screws. Doubling up with the cartridge and pump on this bike is overkill, I know.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_0081\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.kk.org\/cooltools\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/IMG_0081-768x1024.jpg\")
\nKnog Blinder Mini Dot<\/a> ($30, 16 grams)
\nThis rear light is so light and small that I leave it on the bike all the time. For a front light I use a Light and Motion Urban 800<\/a> ($100, 120 grams), which I mount on the handlebars when needed.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_0092\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.kk.org\/cooltools\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/IMG_0092-768x1024.jpg\")
\nShimano CM-1000 Sport Camera<\/a>
\nI’ve been using this because of its slim and unobtrusive profile, but the image quality isn’t quite a good as a GoPro and there’s a lot less support.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_0116\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.kk.org\/cooltools\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/IMG_0116-768x1024.jpg\")
\nID\/monocle
\nOn a lanyard around my neck I carry a dog-tag style personal ID and a reading monocle by Nearsights<\/a> ($60) \u2014 very handy for middle-aged eyes.<\/p>\n
