For tubulars I carry Vittoria Pit Stop (which doesn't require a valve core removal tool) and two CO2 carts and inflator. The Pit Stop doesn't quite get the tire up to pressure alone, but it worked for me the one time I needed it. No repair kit as I am too old for that ripping and sewing BS whether out on the road or at home. (And you know, if you have expensive tubulars, it is worthwhile to send them away for a professional tube replacement when needed. $25-40) I was carrying a spare tire, but decided it just wasn't worth it. I can make the call and feel no shame. For clinchers I carry two tubes, three CO2 carts and the inflator, VAR tire levers/jack, and patch kit.

Two CO2 carts, two self adhesive tube patches, superglue. I run Orange Seal and in the event that a hole is too big to seal, I let the tire air down, apply superglue to the hole, put tube patch on hole, rotate the hole to 6 o'clock, add a bit of CO2 to push sealant into the hole, wait, air up, roll away.

Vittoria Pitstop and Co2 in my pocket and a bundled up tubular under my saddle.

Spare tubular already has a longer valve stem installed, but I still do bring a valve tool just in case (bundled inside the bundled tubular, of course)...

I don't find that modern saddle and seatpost combinations allow room for a spare tubular under the saddle. I know some of you guys still do it, but I don't know how.

What Loctite rubberised super glue are you using ? Do you have a photo of it or a model number ?

To all you cyclist that carry a pre-glued spare tubular tire.......do you mount it directly to the rim after the flat tubular is removed?? Do you add anymore glue?? If no, does it hold OK?

Some people tell that they do not carry any kit for punctures, just some cash for the taxi. Does that mean they will abandon their ride in case of a puncture? :shock:

Would be cool if you could fit a tub in this.

remove old tub, mount spare, inflate, ride

it holds ok, but i do no heroic braking/cornering with the spare

i find how well it holds depends on how old the glue on rim and spare are, the fresher the better, i usually put a new coat on the spare every year or so

i get many wet rides so keep it in a ziploc bag to stop it getting wet from rain/sweat (pump/tub/etc. all live in the middle pocket of the jersey)

once home i take off the spare and glue one on properly ready for tomorrow
