    Topeak Hexus multitool, pair of good tyre levers, and a pump (quite a big pump, because little ones are all rubbish, and not really that much smaller or lighter)

    (the hexus has tyre levers but they’re not as good as proper standalone ones)

    And spares… Powerlinks, tyre boot, tube, little tubeless repair kit that I’ve never used, couple of cable ties. Oh and an assortment of mech hangers, mostly for bikes I don’t own any more (but not one for the bike I ride the most)

    Lol… I would have thought that these rufty-tufty ‘mountain’ bikes wouldn’t need rebuilding at the trailside quite so often..

    Still laughing..

    For a 50 mile off road ride on my cross bike I take two tubes and a pump.

    I would have thought a good multi tool, puncture repair, pump and quick links were a minimum?
    I also pack tyre levers, cable ties, tubes, knife oh and a shock pump, bit ott, but used most out of all-not just by me.

    Must say I don’t get the whole carrying brake pads thing. I’d never stop mid ride to replace mine! Always find it odd that people actually do!

    But then you said it yourself, you don’t ride long as you tend to get bored 😉
    I carry a multi-tool (crankbrother something), a hope pinch bolt tool a couple of tyre levers and a pump.
    As spares I always have a couple of tube, a mech hanger, couple of disk bolt, crank bolts, quick links, puncture kit, random bolts and some pins and brake pads. All of this I have used in the past. When you ride hard and long stuff tends to wear out more than during your 2 hours ride. Specially on alpine descents.
