did you miss the saddle bag thread on this page?
i have a very small t2 saddle bag that keeps everything very tight, rattle free and compact. works well for me. when i ride my alternate road bike i throw an ultralight tube wrapped in a rubber band with park tools glueless patches under the band, my lezyne pump and a tire lever in my jersey pocket.

Either small saddle bag or put them in a ziplock bag and throw them in your pocket.

If you put a tube, patch kit, tire boot, mini pump, mini tool, in a small seat bag its always there when you go ride. Nothing to think about, hassle with, or forget.
All that can also fit in a jersey pocket, but then you got to grab all that stuff and put it in the jersey.
Just leaving it with the bike is easier IMHO.

I mainly commute by bike, so most of my gear is in my backpack. Though, I'd love to get rid of a load of stuff from my backpack. If you have an old watter bottle you can stuff some of your gear in there as well.

why do people need to carry 4 water bottles? 2 is enough generally and if not one refill does the trick but i don't even bother with that. i just buy a little bottle of orange juice if i need more liquid. the extra sugar in it is a help.

Tube, mini tool, 2 tire levers in a small tightly packed seat back. Extra tube, cell and I.D. in Jersey pockets and this is for the 2 to 3 hour rides. Anything over 3 hours I have a small Camelbak that I add a chain tool and the stuff in my jersey goes in the Cbak.

I don't want to be 20 miles into the ride and suddenly remember that I didn't a set of tire levers.

i don't like the idea of a multitool or something else sharp and hard pointing at my kidneys in my pocket if i should fall. ouchy.
