Re: Brooks saddles
Love my B17, we use beeswax softened with a bit of cooking oil instead of the proof stuff. i do go through phases of needing to tighten the nut almost every ride then several months without touching it no idea why

Re: Under slung fuel bottles?
I've been carrying an mSR fuel bottle there for a while now without any damage
i have kept the fuel pump on the bottle and i was concerned about damaging the pump so Meraid made a hat for it which does a good job of keeping the dirt off.

Re: Shorts? Pants? Trousers?
Merino boxers, waterproof shorts and gaiters when its wet, long johns under if its cold, 3/4 thin enduras if its hot, keeps the sun off the knees. for the recenit Morocco trip the 3/4s all the time and a spare pair for off the bike they pack so small and the long johns under higher up.
