Hej,
You can buy "tyre irons" (metal blades made to prize at the tyre) small
enough to fit in the tool box. They will still be long enough to give the
required power to get the tyre of the rim. I use them my self several times
per year when I change tyres.
Then you just repair with an ordinary bycicle repair kit.
To inflate, there are CO(superscript: 2 )canisters with adapter for the air
valve.
I you haven't tried changing tyres your self, it can be a good thing to
train a bit in the garage before you have to do it on the road.
If you want to se how fast it can be done, watch out some enduro drivers.
I also have a chain tool (to press out the pin in a chain link) and a spare
chain link (with spring/snap lock) in the tool box. I have used it once
myself and I have been able to help another guy once.

Two discussion topics here :
1) -- Cut --
2)Other question : I would like to have a small set in my toolbox to be
able to repair a flat tyre.

How do you inflate a flat (and repaired ) tyre , when your miles away
from the nearest gasstation ? (without using those pressurised
cannisters full of sticky glue ...).
