When you really need to lose 10-12 kilos in bodyweight - guilty as charged - then a kilo of tools isn't the first place to be trimming weight!

Up until now I'd only carried a replacement tube but patches seem an obvious addition

OP think your self lucky if you were tubeless you'd also have to carry this excess weight.

had one of those moments yesterday, flat deflating. once i had the back wheel off i could see that the tyre itself was furked. rather than ruin another tube, i did a repair with a slime scab stick on patch and used a bit of 23mm tyre as a boot to get home (35mm tyre).
Further slow puncture on way home so had to stop and re-inflate the tyre a few times. Hats off to Wiggle for being able to send new tyres for today (the one day i work from home) and still being cheaper than buying local.
even on the carbon fast bike, spare tube and pump/co2 are a must…
