4.) Chain Link.
5.) Chain Tool
I was thinking the same. That repair kit is wild. I have an 80 mile round trip commute and I take;
1 small pump
1 dynaplug pill
I leave at 0530 to make sure I’m not going to be late. I can always do something useful with an extra hour at work. Never commuting on tubes (and I don’t mean the London underground although that too) again. Way too flakey and repairing a puncture / putting in a new tube in bad weather sucks beyond all reason.
I don’t even bother with a multitool and I just maintain the drivetrain pretty well.
