Here is an approximate list of what I took for a two month tour (geared) from London to Istanbul. Next time I would take less tools and spares as I didn't really use them. My advice to anyone wanting to lose a bit of weight would be to buy front panniers and use them on the rear - the rear panniers are far too big and this means you will take too much stuff!
