I blow chains way more frequently than I blow tires, so I keep a KMC quicklink, multitool, energy gummies and water in the backpack. I'm pretty good about pulling the presta core and injecting a bunch of stans every few weeks and opening the tire up every couple months to clean out the clumps of stans inside. I roll the dice on not having a tube on me for most of my shorter rides.
However, I'll be in Bend on Thursday (booked a Cog Wild tour) so I'll be bringing everything for this epic.
