Just a couple ideas for free
- take off the cosmetic cover and silver ring from your pump to save a few grams, wrap it in duct tape which has thousands of uses (tire boot, emergency sidewall repair, shoe repair, wound protection, helmet vent rain covers, misc repairs, splinter removal etc)
- look at the Topeak Hexus X multitool
- alternatively, for gram saving, use individual Allen keys and the tyre levers from the Hexus X (you can order them for ~€5 without the tool), as they have spoke wrenches and an allen key built in
- tubolito/aerothan/revoloop spare tube
- use your Allen key to lift up the chain in the case of a chain drop and you can remove the gloves, though they do make excellent wind and rain gloves (better in black lol).
- get an anti chain drop attachment for your front derailleur if this is an issue you are concerned about. Can be had in carbon fibre for €3 or in alloy from specialised, or get a dog's tooth attachment.
- wrench is a beast, are you sure you actually need it?
- if you aren't about snot rocketing (just try it bent over with your legs really wide to learn), cycling gloves have a felted part by the thumb for nose wiping
Taking this advice would really slim down the weight and volume of your already very light minimal kit without sacrificing much
- mentos aren't very high calorie, I like squeezy honey and bananas
