Looks good!
I remember two years ago I took various spares but I didn't do a full trial pack until I was at the hotel in Geraardsbergen. Then I realised I needed to carry some food for the night so I didn't physically have room for all the spares. So I had to dump stuff like chain tool, spoke key and spare Garmin. And I dumped my tyre levers in favour of the Lezyne ones they gave us at the briefing, as they were a good bit smaller. So I hope it all fits! -
Upgrade wouldn't sell me a hanger (well their website doesn't work and they declined to respond further than "it's fine for us") so fuck the spare hanger.
I bought some Pedros after everyone raved about them and I just don't see what the fuss is. I don't like them as much as I liked my cheapie ones from Oz.
I superglue all my bolts in. It's lighter than taking spares.

id be taking a spare hanger over a spare cable, you can pedal without a cable, you cant pedal so well without a hanger, and every bike shop in the world, i hope, has cables...

I'd add a pair of cleat bolts. They're an odd size and although I've never lost one, I rode with a friend who managed to lose one on a tour and had to ride with only one functional pedal (we removed his other cleat) for two days.
As for tools, I've taken a Topeak Hummer (it's got a different name now) as my only tool a few times now and it's never let me down (I've even had to repair a broken chain in the field with it).
Add three spare chain links!

I'm going to need to re do my route through Croatia into Bosnia. Proposed route looked fucking hilly and quite blue on the heat map.
Now have one of each type of cable and a good selection of bolts including spare chainring bolt courtesy of local biek shop. New tyre lever time too. No rear mech hanger though. Mines pretty beefy anyway.
