    Any suggestions before I leave? I’m supposed to start Tuesday morning. I’m trying to go as light as possible. Bike setup is in the second picture, just two small panniers.

    Edit: Bike is site up with tubeless tires, hence only one tube and no patch kit.

    Co2 slowly outgasses – so any time you pump up a tube with gas it’s slowly going down over time. Noticeable the next day.

    So it needs to be topped back up with a pump.

    Also at least one more inner tube. Plenty of situations where it’s easy to double puncture or pinch a tube when changing it, or miss a penetrator in the tyre or….
