I've been using a pack under the seat for 20 years. It can hold a Multi-tool, patch kit, spare tube, CO2 inflator, cartridges, chain links and a few other misc. items. I've always had everything I needed for dealing with flats and minor mechanical issues on the trail. |

I’ve also used small seat packs forever. I switched to this Lezyne tool roll a while back and it’s my favorite so far. You can also strap it on the frame if you prefer. |

I go the OneUp route: Pump with EDC tool and plug/pliers kit, attached to the pump holder next to my water bottle cage. It gives me most of what I need for most rides. I also have a small tool roll that I can easily switch back and forth between my backpack or hip pack. It has things like an extra derailleur hanger, small bottle of sealant, zip ties, etc. |

Essential: At least 2 CO2 cartridges, an air valve, 2 tire levers, tire bacon, tire boot, multitool, credit card, cash, charged phone. These can fit in jersey pockets, or a saddle bag and your pockets. Big rides add: 2 oz Stans, valve core remover, tube, lube, hand pump, derailleur cable (Don't have Di2), zip ties, string, razor blade, whistle. In hip pack or back pack depending on water needs of the ride. |

^^^ What’s the razor blade for? a. grooving gravel tires for extra traction b. cutting x’s to suck out rattlesnake venom c. slicing your wrists when you get passed by e-bikes d. chopping lines for that second wind that leaves those e-bikes in the dust |

Nah. I still ride with my old Blackburn Mississippi pack. Keeps my core strong, and provides an essential cushion in the event of an accidental dismount... I'm long past keeping up with what the trends are.

Great point Ray Lately, I've crashed more often than I like and the pack on my back has prevented more damage to my old body, plus it carries all the medical items needed to stop the bleeding
