Carry an extra bit anyway, unless you're both confident and experienced. Maybe it rains and gets slick and you air down your tires and there's a strong headwind. Maybe all at once.
I carry a five liter gas can bungied on back, and it's just about right for making the transition between worrisome and carefree on long stretches. Besides, it contributes to my rough-and-ready-overlander image, which is what it's all about. Or did I get that part wrong somehow?
I've also got a 22 liter tank, which it sounds like you don't.
Hope that's helpful.
