Ride around with the rest of the kit (compressor, plug kit, slime) but also want a compact jack. Scissors-type ones are big and heavy. Tried a little to find a really low capacity (i.e. light weight) telescoping hydraulic jack on the Internet, but then stopped when I realized that I don't know the minimum spacing required. Does anyone know roughly how much space remains from the ground to the jacking point on an X1 when the tire is completely deflated? I suspect this would depend on rim size...
