Is the forecast rain?

Is 3 tubes necessary? Would 1 tube and a repair kit not cover you?

Do you have any tub sealant you could put in your tubes for a bit of peace of mind?

Do you need to be completely self sufficient tool wise or will you be riding with friends/a group? Can you split the tools / pump between you?

Don't mean to patronise you with these suggestions, just the stuff I thought about when doing the bike pack fixie tour a couple of years back.

Looking at the bags you have and the quantity of stuff you want to carry, I think you need a miracle.

showers, yes.

not looking forward to fettling around with glue and patches in the night. might risk it and take only 2 tubes.

I have a very compact bike tool and spoke key, the others will bring other bits indeed.

maybe I am overdoing this. I have ridden many a 200k+ event over the past years without even bringing a saddle bag.

So there's 3 unused jersey pockets I've left out of the equation :-)
