It's better to carry a triangle in the middle you can carry up to 4 bottles there

Great build. I couldn't afford the dynamo hub or light.. I ended up with a Solar Battery pack that has 2 USB outlets for charging GPS, lights and other electronics.. :). it is working great..

Wow PPE, the Bombtrack are certainly an awesome bike but i don't think they had this model in Australia when i bought my Touring bike. My Vivente World Randonneur is set up very similar to yours except the aerobars and top stem charger but everything else I have, the dyno, TRP Hydraulic brakes integrated AXA lights front and rear and can charge my phone and stuff from my actual light which has USB, Tubus racks front and rear only my front rack doesn't have the top loop and it's a steel frame. Bar end shifters you will find to be fantastic once you get used to them. Mine has Shimano Dura-ace bar-ends and it's great that you can do a full swoop of gears when you need to without the constant single clicking of an indexed system and you'll find them useful in the bar-ends. Many younger Bicycle tourers have been spoilt with the indexed brifter style and whilst reliable, when things go wrong with them....they are really bad and you don't want that in the middle of nowhere. Great set up.....love some of the gear you've got on yours and I might try and adapt on mine.....I think i'll skip the aerobars as my 64 yr old back might not get down that far lol. Looking forward to see how you go with it....cheers from Downunder.

Other than the bar end shifters & the aero bars, I think that's a real nice bike. I like it.

+1 on the TT bars, so important to give the hands a rest, the key is to have them raised high as you have. Surprised people don't go with carbon wheels though, I've done several long distance trips with them never even had to true the wheels after thousands of kilometers.

Great video. You're an inspiration!

I’m pretty much copying your bike bro ☘️🐺☘️

Perfect.

Nice. I've just replaced my brooks b17 after 30,000 miles (maximum adjustment) and one of my ortlieb bags after 50,000 after it got a hole in the bottom. Both are very reliable. 👍

What's up mate ? You re doing fine?

赞👍

Very nice build. I've been thinking of doing some of the same mods to my touring bicycle, especially the shifters and shock stem.

Personally I think I'd go a whole lot lighter but there's no right or wrong way to bike tour. I think you'll get on fine with the bar-end shifters - very simple and precise.

*Promo sm* 🌷

Wow that bike must weigh a tonne

Excellent 👍

What kind of switch did you use to charge your phone, power bank etc? I have a shimano dynamo hub to power lights, but I would like to be able to charge my phone and power bank. Thanks!

I like your video but hate the music attached to it. Good cycling adventure in Europe.

Great video

Hola! Exportan a Argentina la Bombtrack?

Bienvenue en France 🇫🇷 !

where did you find that nice b17 Brooks?

Hooked!

We were also around the area the same time as you last year! But we were in our van. Amazing that you made it on Dec 30th, well played! Very sad you lost your sandwich in the fall though 😅. Great vid! Chris & Paloma

Very nice bike build.

😊👍🌻

Install new and unfamiliar equipment.. just prior to a major ride. Excellent plan. The plastic water bottles are brilliant as well, who needs durable stainless steel.

"touring is not about aero".. a sudden epiphany I suppose

Has somebody living and cycling in Europe Food costs are like everything since the supply chain and War in Ukraine are now suffering from inflation fallout .every week things cost a little more .has for wild or stealth camping be careful some parts do not allow such activities and can lead to heavy fines . This can vary within a country on a state level some allow others not. Also restrictions may be in place because of the unprecedented hot weather and the ongoing wild fires that have taken place through out central Europe . In Germany I know for a fact for the most part Wild Camping is not allowed but their are abundant campsites and hostels or hotels that caterer for cycle tourists. I can not say what the rules are in France or Italy or Austria. Inflation in the major thing here as it is everywhere. Turkey is really suffering bad from price inflation I have read here in the German news because we have a large Turkish community who travel back and forth. Bike parts are also suffering with many items in short supply or out of stock .I know some brands of tyres like WTB are in limited stock. Though so far Schwalbe at least here in Germany can still be found. My case in point being the near m two month search to replace my former tour / comute bike after it gave up the ghost .I only last week managed to find a replacement, I had looked at Bombtrack. Salsa .kona and so forth only to be met with out of stock in size XL or L waiting time for delivery could be as long as April 2023 . But I finally picked up a 2023 Marin Four Corners .this should arrive this week I hope. Again price inflation as seen more of these Adventure/gravel bikes prices shoot through the roof upwards of 400 euro+. You have a good build there Bombtrack make a good bike that is for sure, and would have been my first choice other than they are now above my planned current budget .we can not afford to pay to much out with the current worries of our food and energy cost that we will be facing over the winter months. I think it is great what you are attempting regardless of these challenging times. It is also a good age to do it. I am 56 and still want to do some touring not sure about around the world but there is plenty to do just here in the major Central European nations to keep me busy. Safe travels look forwards to more updates.

Basic flaw in calculations - a difference of 2.5 kmh does not translate to 25 km more, as most touring days (for me) involve a riding time of about 4 hours. A 5-hour riding time is a solid day, and a 6-7 hr riding day is a really tough day. We are talking about touring here, not racing. You take breaks, see the sights, stop to eat, or take a walk. Riding for 8-10 hours per day is something that I certainly would very rarely be doing. At 22kmh that would mean you are travelling 176-220 km. That is NOT what my touring days look like! A more realistic distance difference to quote would be about 10-12 km. Yes, this is a bit, but nothing too major. After all it is the difference between carrying tent, sleeping bag, clothes and food, and carrying nothing. I know what I would rather have on my tours. I have toured with people who have a 'distance-at-all-costs' mentality, riding uber-light bikepacking rigs. They can cover more ground at faster speeds, but they certainly do miss out on a lot of the sights along the road, and have a less comfortable time in camp as well.

What panniers are those

Top bicycle…Amazing 💛💛

Looks like a mario kart track

i wish there was a way to bike tour without the bags :)

Great video. Can I ask what was the base cost and base weight of your bike (before mods)? Thanks...

You the man!

Thanks, great information for anyone planning to cycle in Spain. Looks like a beautiful country, and very bike friendly!

Hi, thx for the nice video! I have a question about the navigation please. I listen very careful but I don't understand which App you use for. Please could you repeat it for me? Thx Regards Josef

I wish you a good weather and good people!!

Thank you! You are so cool, man🤩🤩🤩

Mr. N, great video quality, I agree with the other comment, best video yet! Dude your doing what a lot of us would love to do but can’t or aren’t brave enough to do. Show us more of the landscape, culture, and the unique sights that you get to see. Oh yeah, wear something brighter when your peddling the tight busy streets.

Perfect bike and set-up. I've never used disk brakes, What are the advantages of disk brakes?

Can't happen mate. Just think about the amonia in urea from our pee. That shit can't stay in and tehre isn't a diet on earth that will make you not produce it.

Great build! All you need now is your urologist on speed dial because of that saddle! Way to go 'numb nuts!'

Great overview of your bike build. I can tell you have thought about this a long time, you have some great and useful ideas. I agree with the aerobars for touring, they give you another hand position, and are great to have on your bike for long tours. Wishing you all the best on your next adventure !

Total width of your wheels? On mm please.

very detail & immaculate about your tour setup! love it

Thank you Interesting, helpful & well produced.
