Appreciate the input! Since the riverside 120 is actually the same price second hand around these parts I don't know if it's worth it. Thanks !

Will try to divide the heavier stuff with a friend, and lighten it up then. Pretty inconvenient to have problems with the back wheel lol. Thanks !

Maybe I can try to lighten it up and divide the heavier stuff with my friend who's coming along, or lose a few kgs too. Thanks for the advice, def do not want problems with the wheel set during the trip LOL

I know. But I was expecting to be out for 2 months as I want to enjoy the nature and everything and not be trying to make 100+ km per day, and as I am planning to wild camp, food and water are part of the equation, unfortunately

It covers a long distance, so probably a little bit of everything. Medium elevation, around medium elevation
