The tool bag under the saddle is reserved for various tools - a CO2 applicator, 4 threadless CO 2 cartridges, 3 tire levers, 3 tubes, 3 Allen wrenches, and a small tire sheath (in case of a blowout). Having flatted in 2000 at IRONMAN California, being able to fix it and still qualifying, Evensen likes to be prepared. Notice also thew forward Profile Design post.
