All the tools: 216 gr
(I did not weigh the duct tape as it is on the frame)
Except the pump which is a small one fit next to the water bottle, this all fits easily into a normal, unextended seat bag. Extended, I can add my EN1150 compliant cycling vest after it warms up.
Everything adds up quickly. I used to have one of those Nashbar "Woody" combination tools but there was so much unneeded items on it and it was so heavy that I just got a little tiny Park model now. I'm trying not to be a weight weanie but sometimes a careful look at what is carried is needed. My wife and I always ride together so I carry most of the tools. I have her carry two tubes and two CO2 cyclinders all of the time. Don't tell her that I just carry one. I have a tiny carbon pump but just pray that I never have to really use it to pump a tire up to 100 lbs. I'll need new hands and arms after that. Might have to carry the "Second Wind" model from Genuine Innovations that I have on my Trek FX if I really plan on getting a bunch of flats. The CO2 cylinders do get heavy if you carry too many. I saw a guy on one of our rides with 4 of them clamped on to his seat tube. Maybe a little overkill? I was just cleaning our bikes up yesterday and took the bags off and thought they were getting awfully heavy. I bet they were more than a pound or more.
