Tubes/Tires for Trans-Africa?
For the journey north to south Africa, how many front & rear tubes and how many tires do you adventurers recommend? I had intended to take two spare front and 2 rear heavy-duty inner tubes with Slime injected at the start of the trip
Do i need a spare front 21" or can i save the weight and expect to buy a spare going down the East side if needed? I'd intended to take 2 spare rear 18" tires: going from England on a TKC 80 and changing to Michelin Desert in Wadi Halfa, then having a spare Pirelli MT21. As for the front, I'd intended to use a TKC80 from the UK to Wadi Halfa and then change to a fresh TKC80 to hopefully last the remainder of the trip to Cape Town
Oh yeah, just to be pedantic, the wheels are balanced too
In advance, thanks
Mike
