Just wondering what there is, so as to plan on how many spares parts we take!

Expensive.....

there are a 3/4 in there but you don't want to be getting more than tubes there. Brake pads were scary if they had them tyres too.

As Mike says.

You can get just about anything (even Hope stuff for example) but I'd carry spares of hard-to-find bits like mech hangers.

Are they all located in Bourg St Maurice (just in case!)?

Yeah round the supermarkets, saw a 1st gen V10 in there with gas powered shifters too so you can do some bike spotting while looking....

3 shops in Bourg, one up in Arc 1600 (others in La Rosiere, Tignes, etc.).

All the Bourg shops are near McDonalds/Super-U.

Some of the guide co's have consumables for common brakes , tubes , tyres and mechs etc but as said before - not cheap.

Yeah, we stock a few tyres/tubes etc. Trying to stock brake pads is a bit of a mammoth task, but you might get lucky and have the same brakes as one of us or our hire bikes.
