Multi tool, tubeless repair kit (file, insertion tool and a few plugs), 2 bombs + adapter. In backpack / hydration pack. Easily transferred to back pocket if i'm not riding with a shell.

no tube?

no tube?

 

nope. in 2 years, I haven't had a puncture that couldn't be plugged or sealed itself. Its probably not a bad idea, if i got a decent sidewall gash, I'd need to choob it. I carry 3 sizes of plugs. The "normal" thin ones, medium sized ones and then moerse thicks ones that they use in cars.

+1...dont bother, plugs will do the job most of the time.

 

Stage races I will pack a tjoob...

I take my hubby with and he carriers everything.

 

But I saw some super cool while on holiday. We popped into the Concept store in Margate to get my helmet and the one Specialized there has the very cool case thingy that fits onto the bottom tube of the bike. Big enough for the basics that would normally go into the saddle bag. I was most impressed with it when we asked Mr Stander about it.

The new SWAT products they are marketing. I like them too!

Well, one of the weak spots on the tubeless system is the valve. We recently had one shear off whilst using a hand pump to reinflate a tire. Over time the thin metal of the valve fatigues until it fails when you need it not to. A valve is certainly not a "spare" you normally carry, so the tube we had was put to good use.

At races and long rides not near home I will tape a tjoop to my seatpost, needed it once myself (valve issue as mentioned by Lee Moo Baai) and have given it to at least 2 other people to help them out recently (all fellows that decided they don't need it)

 

Most rides I just put what I need in my pockets like everyone else and stage races I go the full Camel'pack' route .....

Permanently in a small saddle bag:

1x tjoop,

CO2 cartridge and adapter,

In a small box the patches came in - patches, glue, valve stem, master link, R100, plugs, plug tool.

I learnt to use the QR skewer as tyre levers, so no need to carry tyre levers.

 

In back pocket... phone, house/car keys (depending if riding from home or going to an out-of-town ride/race),

Spare bottle with water if the ride is longer than 2 hours, and a mini-pump.

Apple or banana - if I remember.

 

1 gel just above the tan lines, under my shorts.
