Wondering what peoples' views are regarding carrying a puncture repair kit while racing.
My situation....I am typically near the front (let's say in the top 20%) of my age group and am asking in the context of 70.3 and full IM events. My repair kit includes tire levers, spare tube, CO2 cartridge, CO2 valve and a small multitool (I need a hex wrench to remove my wheels). Given this, would you advise carrying a repair kit or saving the weight and not racing with it?
