Yes the tablets seem to be good enough. I used the Katadyn micropur forte tablets in Kyrgyzstan after the Sawyer mini's water bag and the backup bag both failed, though I would've probably used them anyway as you don't need to use as much time to use them. Just put them in the bottle and ride, ready to be drank after you've been riding for half and hour or more depending on what you expect to be purifying from the water. If there's cattle, better to wait more. Many seem to get sick there from the water so it might be a good testing ground for this, makes more of a difference than for example in northern Finland where the water is often fine as it is. The water should be pretty clear with the tablets though, they lose power if there's mud or something.

For water purification are tablets good enough? Seems like it will be quite a few tablets before the equivalent cost/ space of a water filter. I’m only road touring so it’s more of a back up if I get caught short on a hot day in a more remote area. Just checking I’m not missing something really
