I added front rack, front and rear battery lights, dynamo hub and light, Planet Bike fenders, B17 saddle, racktime panniers, and tireliners. If you carry much weight and ride very far you will know why the wheels are "heavy". You might want to carry the spokes and tool with you and learn to use them. Other ancillary things were to make an alcohol stove and cook kit, Hennesy hammock, and added LED flashlight, bike tool kit and tubes, CO2 inflator, and energy chews. I have a goodly supply of home made energy bars with me at all times. Water bottles and cages with extra one liter bottles to carry water gave me some choice as to rest stops. The panniers have an external one liter pouch per side. I need front panniers now to spread the weight evenly front to back.
