I will be leaving in September to ride from Colombia to Argentina...
about 4 months (anyone who wants to join me for part of the trip
please contact me). I live in Panama, so will ship the bike to Bogota
to start.
I'm a little concerned with the number of tires I'll go through in the
15-20k of travel, and the difficulty of obtaining them. The 21" front
is common enough, but what about the 17" rear? Does it make sense
(and is it even possible) to change to an 18" rear? Any thoughts
appreciated.

What kind and size of rope? I've thought about that myself -- something for
self-rescue, or assistance when people-power alone won't do it.

Laugh if you must, but I still carry 300' of climbing rope and a dozen
pullies and carbiners (when I off road alone). Not just for stuck in mud,
but for a steep sided ditch you fall into and cant ride out of. Works very
well btw and ties right onto nerf bars
