Why two powerlinks? A broken chain can be fixed with one set. Why do you need spare spokes for replacing a spoke on the road? A wheel with broken spokes can be passably retrued using the multitool.
I don't begrudge people their extra tools and spares, but there are other lightweight ways to deal with mechanical issues on the road. Everything weights something and it's utility must be critically examined before going in the pack.
