I gave my spare tyre to someone on the BCM, they had a massive blowout that couldn't have been booted (they were carrying a boot). It got them to the finish and luckily I didn't need the tyre myself. I used a rackpack back then, more space for shite though (digs up BCM pics): http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b187/vicechair/BCM600%202009/P5150493.jpg
Being near the back of the field on an Audax means I can rarely rely on someone behind me helping me. I'd rather carry more stuff than DNF due to a mechanical.
Topeak Fuel Tank (Large): http://www.wiggle.co.uk/topeak-fuel-tank-bag-large/ means I don't have to carry as much in my pockets as before. More food goes in that than in a normal tri-bag.
