On another note, should I bring an extra freehub with me?
No the likely hood of it going wrong is low and it would mean having to carry around the tools to fit it. If it does go wrong and you can't get a lift or its a short journey, ziptie the cassette to the spokes for a ghetto fixed gear.

Ah that's a good trick, thx. If I brought one with me I could at least do that and get it fitted at the nearest shop, wherever that may be. The chance of people stocking such a product will probably be smaller. On the other hand the freehub costs as much as a new whole hub, which should be more common stock, so I might as well relace the wheel with something else should the freehub fail?

Hey there, that sounds like a great trip. I'm thinking the same about front end loading on this bike, feels really good and stable even with heavy loads. It convinced me that a stiff front end is the key to this rather than trail/geometry, which is also important ofcourse.
