Bin off the silk liner, wear your down jacket in your sleeping bag if you are cold. Use a strapped compression strap bag to reduce down jacket to tiny.
Spares-
PHD jackets compress to nothing, a compression bags is just faff and weight, no gain over a 1L dry bag rolled down. Rain jacket is probably bulkier?

I didn't use the silk liner - it's old and I only really have it to protect sleeping bags, neither of which I carried anyway!
The down jacket is already fairly compressed in a S2S drybag. It could probably go into a smaller drybag but I thought I'd try this size first. I didn't use this during the weekend either but it'll likely help in the alps.
I didn't use any of my spare socks, full-finger gloves, buff, etc. but once again this is all stuff that I've needed during the night in the UK - this weekend it was >10degC all night so manageable in my cycling kit.
Tubes could probably go in the framebag or taped onto the frame. Saying that, the framebag rubbed my knees so I'm wary about using it. Problem is, it's really useful. I think I'll have to buy my own and modify it with internal velcro in order to compress it where my knees pass. Rubbed the shit out of my knicks with the strap velcro too.
I could do with a smaller, lighter jacket instead of the Rapha softshell.
