What kind of commuting are you guys doing that a single spoke requires you to carry a plethora of tools? Carrying like 300 pounds of gear and doing sweet tricks and jumps along the way? I feel like if your bike is that fragile, then, maybe idk, your bike is to fragile
I'm assuming the above would be a temporary repair you'd do at home in the case you needed a spoke that wasn't readily available at a local shop. Otherwise you'd need to carry a pliers and some way to cut a spoke.
