Watercontainers |
| The normal waterbottles we use are just 1.5l softdrink bottles - gives you more water at hand. |
| Minimum drink water per person is 4l a day, plus any water for cooking and cleaning. To cover this in New Mexico, two MSR waterbags are employed - 4l respectively 6l. The MSR water-filter fits, and can also be used as a field shower. |
 |
Wheel & Tyres |
| The standard MTB wheels are often built more for light-weight than for the heavy loads of camping gear and water bottles. |
| Use tyres with knobs on the side only when going on asphalt. With trajects of more than a day on tracks with soft sand, mud or rock, choose a full profile. |
| Foldable tyres with strong sidewall-long life & easy packing |
