Puncture repair - what do you carry?

I've got dynaplugs and they do mention the possibility of drying

In extreme heat, the plugs may begin to dry out over a long period of time. In this case, we recommend dipping the plug in water (saliva ok) to lubricate ...

Hmmm i've also got devil head thorns which are a thing I'd not experienced in the uk.

I run tubeless with dynaplug/or anchovies and carry a tube and patches but tbh I'm not sure I'd bother to put it in as once time I managed about 10 punctures in about 2 minutes(pre-tubeless days).

I've got liners for my road 700/32c gravel/tyres that I need to put in, once I've figured out how to clean the sealant off 🙂 as I find the smaller tyres a pain as there's not much air to lose,wheras the big 650b are a dream, even if they dont quite seal you can pump and go to get home.

Two tubes, two CO2, Topeak patches and a pump. Had a double puncture a week ago  glass then a thorn  I’m not a tubeless fan  

I once fitted a 700c tube into a Brompton 16” tyre. Was on Ride London and the rider had had three punctures and had come from abroad to ride. He finished.

Spare tube (or 2)

Anchovies and stick thing

Puncture outfit 

Tyre levers

Pump

2x CO2 + inflator

Spare tubeless valve

Not walking home in 5:10 or disco slippers worth the weight. 🙂

I did once shred a tyre on a ride and was promptly handed a spare tubeless Nobby Nic from another rider's pack! A stretch too far in terms of readiness even for me but it saved a 3 mile walk.

Nothing if riding locally. Adds an extra edge to the ride! Tubeless and tough tyres are a great combo. If going for a longer ride or travelling to ride I’ll take anchovies, stabby tool and a spare inner tube. Always carry a mini pump.

Tube,lever,pump and glueless patches lives on every bike.
In other news,I have also carried a chain splitter and fast link for decades,only used it once ,but have saved a few other riders a long walk.

I run Rimpacts, so just bacon strips and pump. No way I could get a tyre off trailside so no point taking a tube and levers.
