@altoid yours seems like a bit of overkill though. But I get it, riding where you do I guess there are more potential dangers for tyres in the city.
Not sure what to take out, though? The only true redundancy is having both a spare and a patch kit, but the latter takes up less space than an Altoids Smalls tin. In the end, this stuff sits in the bag and I don't really touch it. The few extra grams isn't a problem—I'm not a delusional weight weenie who's trying to shave off that little when skipping dinner would make more of a difference.
And 100% of my riding is in LA, often ending up miles away from home before work—I like standing a chance of getting myself back there. especially since I'm single and haven't felt safe hitching rides until very recently. (And I don't want to be the friend asking someone for a favor early in the morning, ha.)
Plus, we know I like overpacking from my moto adventures.
