Question about using a bent for touring

Rode one at the LBS for a test rides, seems pretty cool but probably won't be buying one soon. But did I have question for the future.

I like to tour at times. HOw easy it is to come across parts for a bent? Like tires/tubes/chains etc. Now I know only LBS will carry parts for this but are the sizes standard or if I suffer a major breakdown on the bent while touring, am I going to be stuck in a town for a few days while the LBS has to order parts?

I guess a 2nd question is are the tire sizes on bents standardized? I know on a bike, I can always get a 27/26/700 tube or tire, even at Walmart in a pinch.

Thanks
