I carry a pump on all but local rides. I figure the effort to fix a tubeless flat would mean the pump is unlikely to really be of use, so don't bother. Walk home will be annoying but suspect I'd be doing that with a pump anyway. Could carry a tube but then that is more to carry.
Endura single-track backpack for longer rides (light & well vented)
Camelback podium hip pack , which takes a podium bottle, for shorter rides, which is mostly what I do these days
I tend to switch between hardtail & full suss, so frame mounted stuff is extra hassle

SubscriberI put everything in the rear pockets of my – gasp! – cycling jersey. Keys, wallet, phone, inner tube with levers, multi tool and mini pump, plus waterproof shell if the weather forecast dictates.
Golfie last weekend and I think I was the only person I saw who didn’t have a bumbag/hip-pack thing.
Are they so much better than keeping stuff in jersey pockets? Do let you wear looser fitting tops?
That much kit in rear pockets? Yeah, I'd put that lot in a hip pack. Loose jerseys are better for those of us who fill out a lycra jersey a bit much for common decency.
