Hi,
I'm considering a trip or two to some more remote mtb spots such as the Atlas in Morocco and possibly Nepal. I guess it will be impossible to get replacement parts out there so I need to carefully consider what extras I need to bring so as not to ruin the holiday if something goes snap! Obviously cant cover every eventuality but I want to cover the most common.

I have a full sus Trek Ex8. Spares I can think of off the top of my head:

A few spokes
A hand full of chain links (or a whole chain?)
Disc pads (+ oil and bleed kit?)
Possibly spare rear and front derailleurs (could nick these off an older bike)
Inner tubes
A spare folding tyre
A selection of allen bolts
Gear cables

Is there anything that I've missed? Or is any of this overkill?

Thanks
Dan

    Mech hanger.
    Brake hose and olives.
    Don't forget tools, and possibly any cartridge bearings, or grease and ball bearings for wheels/headset.


    None of what you've listed is particularly bulky or heavy, so I'd take what you can.
