The thing is, most of my list is the puncture kit, the other general spares and tools are hardly any size/weight. If you want to be able to change a tube by the roadside you need that stuff to get either wheel out of the bike and get the tube out of the tyre.

A few bits like a plug wrench, tow rope, and so on are only really there for trail use.

Otherwise, if you are happy to wait for the breakdown service for punctures, you may as well just carry the tools to adjust the chain (22, 10, and 12mm spanners) and some spare bulbs. There's not much else that can go wrong on an XT which can be easily fixed by the roadside anyway.
