what (else) to put in bike box, e.g. track pump?

With many airlines restricting weight of bike boxes, etc. to 23kg I am trying to keep down the weight of other items to go in the box. Can anyone recommend a decent track pump that is reasonably light weight?
And what else should I prioritise to go in the box (apart from the bike, obviously!)?

Bike
Hat
all tools for rebuild and few maybes (eg chain tool)
water bottles - plus SIS powder, gels or whatever if taking
spare tyres x2
inner tubes/canisters
lubricant/grease
bike shoes
cables brake/gear
electrical tape
saddle bag

track pump never fits comfortably - goes in a suitcase . - How heavy is your bike ??!!

All of the above except cables. If taking hand luggage only I will put my toiletries in with my bike also.

i think leyne's travel pump is the lightest...

...but i put it in my backpack (checked baggage) not the bikebox

in the box (from my packing list)...
helmet
sunglasses
small screwdriver
pedal spanner
torque wrench + bits 4mm, 5mm, ball head 3mm, 4mm
spare tyres, glue, brushes, bit of solvent, sealant
water bottles
carbon paste
very small plastic bottle of oil
spare chain
sundry spare bits, cables, mech hanger etc.
jerseys, shorts, etc., well bagged they make good padding
on the road stuff, spare tub, sealant, minitool, valve tool, minipump, kmc links, tyre lever
anything else that'll fit without making it too heavy
a piece of a4 paper with all my contact details (also one taped to the outside)

with the bike it's about 21-22kg total, could take less, but time is too valuable to waste playing hunt the bike shop

how you pack it in depends on box design, make sure anything heavy enough to cause damage if it comes loose is well secured and/or well padded, i've got a bikeboxalan one, flat heavy things like pedal spanner, chains, etc. fit very nicely under the bottom foam layer

btw if you put co2 in a bikebox, some airports will detect it (x-ray) then make you remove it and throw it away, while people like me wait in the ever lengthening queue and sneer

Thanks for this: I have a Bikebox Alan too, and had a dry run recently when I took it on Eurostar. But of course there was no weight restriction, hence the need to refine what I put in the box.
