Yep. The top 4 gears are overkill, not to mention the bottom 4 are too. 90% of the time gears 5-8 is all most anybody would need, but it sure must be nice to have that extra range available just in case.
Obviously depends how strong a rider you are and what kind of loads you’re carrying. Love the bike but for me for touring would definitely be going 44t chainring!
Nice trip to the three of you! Great you found the tyre lever again 🤩 It’s lashing rain here at the moment - nice to be reminded of blue skies!!
Thanks Miriam, believe me blue skies have been something of a rarity here too!
Lovely camp. Hopefully next time I'll come as a great ride and camp.
Thanks, the more the merrier
Looks like a lovely trip mate. Will defo come along sometime.😀
Hopefully sorting another one soon
