Most of what we took was good but there are a few things we would not take for next time. I would not take the freewheel remover, it is heavy and rarely needed. I have never broken a spoke, but heard that it can happen while touring. I think this is more of a worry with touring bikes. Mountain bikes have tougher wheels and it is less common to break a spoke. The freewheel remover was to be used to remove the freewheel and replace a broken rear spoke. We actually did need a spare tire since the bead tore through on mine but you could get a spare there are save a lot of weight. The D lock was used twice and was also an extra weight that could be left at home. Lock can be cut no matter how thick, so when you will be away from your bike for a while pay someone to watch your bike and hope they are honest. Last, try to buy as few souvenirs as possible. The weight and volume adds up fast over 4 months. We bought a number of things in one day and then shipped a box home from Thailand.
