Multitool, new tube, pump, tyre levers (three metal oneslike these)) is all you really need to cover all distances. If you get a multitool with a chain breaker you can fix the one issue that can happen that would leave you stranded. Pack a few zip ties for good measure and you are good to go.
A waterbottle is essential on longer routes, and panniers should be a given for stuff you need like a change of clothes and your lunch. A backpack gets very annoying, especially in the summer.
I also use one of these metal clothes pins with a strong spring to keep my right pants leg out of the chain, works wonderfully.
No problem! better to ask when you can, i couldn't find a single person to talk to and had to buy my set blindly.
I went with the IRC just based on a recommendation from a shop, Specifically the RBCC version as it's seemed like a good trade off between speed and puncture resistance. I think its a good tire for the fall/summer/spring season, i have an tubeless compatible aluminum wheelset that i'll switch too once the salt starts going down on the road and for that i'm looking into the hutchinson sector and fusion 5 all season. Its a bit of trial and error at this point, which can get expensive but there isn't not enough data or user feedback on what works/doesn't work.
I don't know the difference between Road tubeless and tubeless ready. Both the Sector (Road tubeless) and Fusion 5 (Road Tubeless ready) are on ENVE's approved list. I'd trust either one
I used the diamondback steel core tire levers and they worked well. It looks like IRC has pretty interesting looking levers and hutchinson has levers that you can fill with soapy water to help with installation. All you really need is a lever that has a nice wide/flat hook to prevent damage to the tire bead because without a tube any imperfection in the tire bead can cause a leak. ENVE actually recommends against tire levers all together, but from my experience getting a tire on (At least the IRC formula pros) is impossible.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
