This could allow me to carry latex spares, and not have to switch back from Butyl when I get home.
Not that it matter, but how much do you think the Tattico weighs?

I think it works, much better than a pocket pump and/or CO2. OMMV.
Weights:
Silca Tattico Mini-Pump: 159g
(by comparison the Barbieri CarbOne mini-pump weighs 61g, but the Tattico is much better, and much better built)
Silca Tattico bottle cage 1-piece clamp: 15g
(Silca don't sell the clamp separately, which is bs imo; lots of people have more than 1 bicycle...)
Barbieri bottle cage clamp (2-pieces): 9g
Generic eBay Taiwan bottle cage 1-piece clamp: 18g
So I use the Tattico clamp, the old Barbieri clamp, and 2 sets of Taiwan clamps on 4 frames, + the 1 Tattico pump between them all.
Similarly, I use 1 Rixen and Kaul saddle bag + 4 sets of Rixen and Kaul "KLICKFix" saddle rail clamps on the 4 Arione saddles. The "KLICKFix" clamps seem much stronger/simpler than the Fizik ICS clamps, and the R&K bags are very nice.
Switching both the Tattico pump and the R&K bag between the 4 bicycles takes literally a few seconds, and all the clamps are very tight and secure. Plus, both the pump and bag are
always mounted to 1 frame, so I don't need to look around for the pocket pump I forgot I put on the shelf when I washed my jersey the other day, and is now hiding up there behind the detergent.
