Keep all this in a top bar bag with room for a large phone on top.

I have a granite puncture tool in my cranks. Co2 and tube strapped to frame. EDC lite multi tool in headset. Covers me for most rides. If I'm doing something bigger I'll need to carry food anyway, so I'll wear a hip pack.

That’s allot of bulk and weight to have up high on your bike like that.

The bulk and weight is well forward. Out of curiosity I weighed it, pic below. Can you see a better location on my bike, or to reduce weight which of the contents would you remove? (I do not wear a backpack).

I’m assuming at 660g that bag is empty on the scale?

Why do you carry 5oz of tubeless sealant and a spare tube?

I really feel like all of this

Could simply be replaced by this

Just seems that you have somethings that are unnecessary unless you were doing some epic all day ride in the middle of nowhere.
