If you dont want to carry stuff like emergency spares,
set up a way to have them shipped to you in the field when the need arises.
I used a non folding tire , as a bring along spare, tying the thing in a near but non crossing 8
causes it to take a U like shape which laid nicely over my rear panniers ,
then the rack top bags, lays on top of it.
packed it like that daily for 3 months , then it got used .. and the backup finished the trip.
