2x CO2 cartridges and valve, inner tube, multi tool, spoke key (specific size), quicklink and a £2 coin.
All in a small Lezyne micro caddy which doesn't rattle or move. Winter and summer bike both have the same so I don't have to worry about swapping it over or forgetting. It's barely noticeable under the saddle and leaves pockets free for important stuff like food, rain jacket, warmers, phone etc.

The 29er has the same apart from being in a medium-sized micro caddy due to the increased inner tube size.

I feel ashamed posting this, the spoilt aesthetics and looking like it was dragged through halfrauds backwards

from todays 50 miler, 2 tubes,multi tool, levers, repair kit, spare link and disposable gloves in the saddle bag. Road morph on the frame (fab pump will get upto 110 psi with ease). As for the aero, definitely more turbulence on the pump side as my righthand leg hair is always more tangled !

This has been an interesting thread as I'm about to get a road bike / cyclocross bike myself for a longer commute.

Latex gloves gloves wise I have them whatever bike I'm on either for carrying out track side repairs or dealing with blooded individuals very useful to have IMO

Everything in jersey pockets, more than enough room for most rides & only use a saddle bag on very rare occasions.
