Looks like you're ready for a RTW trip. I see you have all the Eastbound tools. How does the bead breaker work? Also, how do like the lift/winch tool? I have been considering buying the whole set up and would value your opinion. Thanks.

I don't carry much close to home, because if I have to, rescuing the bike with trailer is easy.
If I'm traveling, I concentrate on not letting a stupid minor thing strand me a long way form home. The bike has to be rideable after a minor drop or failure. You don't need to straighten frames, do valve jobs, or change tires when you're on the road. You just have to get home, or to the nearest town with a hotel. If your bike needs major mechanical repair, it probably makes more sense to tow it out than repair it where it sits.
Spare parts:
The knurled linkage rod that connects the shifter to the crank; clutch and brake levers
JB weld - fix holes in case and covers.
Duct tape, zip ties - keep broken parts attached to bike.
Hose tape - stop up a leaky rad hose.
Tools of note:
Multimeter for electrical troubleshooting.
Jumper cables.
Klamptite.
Ratchet strap
Multi-tool with needle nose pliers, screwdrivers, knife, etc.
I don't leave home without a tire patch kit and pump.

Everything actually fits nicely into my Kriega bag and it weighs 17lbs with all that fits in the rear pannier pockets.
I have not yet used the bead breaker or spoons but will be using them next tire change. I'm 100% confident they will be more than sufficient for the job. The bead breaker works by putting it between 2 spoons. Eastbound has updated their website and the tools are discounted slighty for less than what I paid.
Here is my review:

They also have shorter better videos. I have to say mine is kind of funny though. It's my first review video I have ever made.....
The amount of tools, depends on each one and how safe it is to carry them, but this? ... is an abuse
