I'm late to the thread...but that's not unusual. I got tired of several walks of shame myself that i remembered from years past. In my college years, i wore out a few cleats, scraped rims, worn out heels in my socks...all from walks of shame. But now, i probably overkill it. But i am older, and hopefully a bit wiser. I carry a mondopack now with 2 spare tubes, a foldable tire, a few scrap cut rubber tire pieces from old tires, levers, patch kit which i can stash a missing link into as well, and i have one of those wire kits that takes the place of a spoke if need be, an allen wrench, and money...and probably a few other little items that i can't recall right now. Since i threw together my kit. i use it on all my road bikes and cross bike. I have had some minor mechanicals, i have helped other cyclists more than myself while on rides. I am happy to say it has served me well.

*after edit...i forgot to mention i use a Park Frame pump that is adjustable to multiple frames and it works great...
