Yep, I've used one of those weldkits, bit fiddly at first, felt odd to ram and needle in your tyre with what's basically a rubber strip and glue, not that confidence inspiring as a repair method. Repaired another one with a tube, think I might just leave it in.

Tubeless riders, what to you take out on a ride with you?

People using the Weldtite kits: It says in instructions "insert one half of a string into eye of needle".
That does mean use a whole string per repair, not half of one - doesn't it?

Weldtite Plug kit worked fine for the only puncture I've had in 5 or 6 years. Had lots of thorns in the various tyres, but only noticed them when I've changed tyres. I also run a small amount of Stans fluid in them to help things along.

tube and tyre levers here too and a very small mini pump.
Lucky really as I blew the tyre of the rim on my CX this morning
- admittedly it was at 80psi (higher than normal) and I'd just fitted it so I reckon it wasn't quite seated right around the valve. Made one hell of a bang though!

I just take a tube, a pump and have a puncture repair kit as it takes up very little room. If I'm going on a big epic ride in the middle of nowhere then I'll take two tubes. Otherwise should I get a puncture then I plan to just put a tube in and head home. I've not had a puncture which hasn't sealed yet though.

I carry a pump one tube and tyre levers - after this weekend I will carry TWO tubes as I ripped my rear tyre in Berchfa this weekend, popped the tube in, forced to get the tyre back on the rim and subsequently pinched the tube flat - not impressed with the 2mile walk back to the car.
I think the sealant was also on it's last legs as was all hard and stiff inside the tyre - so now have two tyres resealaed.Just out of curiosity - how often do people change the sealant on their tyres or is it only with a puncture?

Tube, levers, and a proper pump. It gets used more for other people than it does for me but it's no bother to carry it around. Also, sometimes you want to add air to a tyre even though it's not punctured.
(I think I've had 3 punctures that wouldn't reseal since I switched to proper tubeless wheels, that's using standard tyres. But for those 3 times it was absolutely worth carrying a tube all the other times!)
