I'm speak Belgian Dutch, for me they are similar, but not at all understandable enough to hold a conversation like that.
If you have a puncture that’s too big to plug, you’ll be happy to have a tube with you. Some ducttape or a bank note over the punture will keep the innertube in and it’ll get you to a place to replace/fix your outer tire.
Once, but in a campervan, not on the bike.
From flying with it I estimate it’s around 35kg
Komoot has a filter for ready made bikepacking tours, it should have one in the planner as well, a median between touring and gravel.
This had me confused, for a moment I thought this was a theatre or studio shot. Well done.
It does, but touring mode tends to stick to the roads. It seems to look for the easiest, shortest way, with the least traffic.
They’re from Planet X. I mount them on the upper two holes. Wrapped an old innertube around the fork where the third, the lowest hole is. Works fine.
Who’s Robert? Where is he? It’s a lonesome road this time of year.
It’s just a case of picking a time and a route.
The cages are from Planet X, came with bags and straps. Replaced the bags with Ortlieb PS10 bags and the straps with Voile’s. The original bags it came with were too heavy and already had holes in them, Voile’s because they are easier to work with and pink.
I’m three riding days out of my endpoint Madrid.
The decals on them are pretty clear, it’s DT Swiss Gr1600’s with Teravail Rutland 700x47.
It is a win wing, wedged it in between my Tubus Logo rack.
Everybody calling it Bianchi color though 🤣
It’s a spare 0,5l that I pour over into one of the cleaner ones. The top two actually had those caps, they fell off within a week of riding.
Something of my own making. Started from Sevilla with a day on the Via de la Plata, then took a right onto Transandalus. Both were beautiful but I had some stuff I wanted to see in Extremadura, so went north while Transandalus continued south-eastwards. There’s another MTB route I could’ve picked up at Talavera de la Reina, which goes straight to Madrid from there, but I went up the Sierra de los Gredos to chill on a camping with some nice mountainviews. I tried the gravelsuggestions from Komoot here, but they’re definitely more suited to FS MTB or just regular hiking.
First few days were all but that, 5-15 degrees C. But now it’s finally getting there.
Ah good, I thought I lost it there for a moment when I got that stuck in my head a couple of days ago haha
In Europe, every Decathlon has them. And Decathlon is all over Europe.
Where do you usually buy gas cartridges while traveling?
