What do off road riders carry for tools, road bike stuff basically or more specific than that?
Maybe change up some of your small parts to lighter versions like pedals, bars,etc. I went from spd to flat pedals which are lighter and at the same time wear flat shoes. I can't say much about tubeless because I don't use it. I carry basically the same tools as when I road except for the tube size of course. All of it in my Camelback.
