It is also dry in July and August.\n\n**Spare parts**\n\nBetter bring your own tools and important parts yourself. There is no lack of helpfulness. There are plenty of bicycle shops on Java. There are now many ATBs driving around. Only bring specific tools yourself (e.g. for replacing a hyperglide pinion).\n\nThere are bicycle shops with Shimano parts in Medan (Sumatra). 28 ”tires, on the other hand, are difficult to obtain.
