Links to pics of your touring Bike

Dunkgrease

I had a chance to try this "pimped" recumbant while in Yangshuo, Guangxi Province, China. The Chinese owner was traveling from Beijing to Vietnam.



It was pretty heavy and lots of additions, inclluding a full "boom box" sound system.

I think I'll stick with my trusty Thorn Raven Nomad.

What gear ratio did you use?

pompy

Used a 48 chainring (Miche Primato Advanced) and a 18T Shimano freewheel. Maybe a bit higher than some people would use but allowed me to make good progress on the flat without spinning out. You planning on a similar trip?

I nearly did not look at the link, but that is a very interesting write-up and photo's . Thanks.

Is there a map of the routes? some of the bike paths look very good and worth publicising.

Why did you write it in english? Naturally I am pleased that you did.

Good to hear I didn't write for nothing. I made the english translation because the builder of the bike asked for it.
I don't have a map of the route yet, but I'm working on it. I will post gmaps-links on my site when ready. I take it you are especially interested in the Norwegian part?

On way to waterfalls in philippines, I got lost a bit and ended up cycling for 13 hours and over 100 miles got back to manila in the dark and no lights, what an experience that was but it seems usual for cyclists and motor cyclists to ride with no lights there, strangley seemd more safe than in uk cities lol
When I get time will post video of manila traffic which is unpassable even on a bike

Condor Agio on Ventoux, light credit card touring for 11 days Marseilles(MP2) round the Drome/Provence and back.

touring compact 48/34 on the front 13-29 on the rear, Campag veloce /centaur mix but binned the UT BB and exchanged all that outboard BB cr4p for a cheap stronglight and cartridge BB setup for the chain set. Light set up allowed the use of a Zonda wheelset which speeded things up a tad.

single saddle bag at the rear and rolled up rain gear on handlebars held on with two toe straps

A borrowed Garmin 800 rather than route cards and I must say the Garmin was very good once you had mastered its foibles. Impressed enough to consider buying one

Travelling light from Exeter to St Andeol-en-Quint in the Alps:



The trip was 727 miles in 7 days: two days for Exeter to Portsmouth, then five for St Malo to St Andeol. I cheated by B&Bing it, but it was amusing chatting to the other hardy souls at Portsmouth laden down with their panniers when they saw how little I was taking but how far I was going. Clothes-wise I took just a T-shirt and shorts, simply so I could get out of the cycling gear each evening to wash it. And other than money, passport, phone, Google Nexus, toothpaste & brush, and essential bike stuff, that was it. Weight was about 4 kilos, and as the bike's only about 8 kilos, I reckon the total weight was probably less than most of you guys have in just your back panniers.

I like to be prepared, even if I am slow. I even used front and rear panniers in the Alps this year.

BTW, nice setup with that Singular... what's the dynamo on it?

andrew_s

It's the SON 28 Klassik (i.e from before the current version). Front light is an Edelux, rear is a Seculite, with an additional bracket for a Smart on the bagman support, via a J82S.
Front rack is a Berthoud, rear is a Bagman Exp, which I'm thinking of changing to the new Bagman 2 because of the bounce I get with a full Longflap over rough tracks. This has put a dent in the Brethoud 50mm rear mudguard.

BTW, "2 sets of Ortliebs" referred to the fact that there was a different set of 4 on each of the 2 photos

durrin

"2 sets"...

actually, in the second photo, the front panniers are the same as in the first, it's just hard to tell.

the white-line panniers are classics, and the black ones are plus panniers, about 200g lighter. I now also have the plus front panniers.I bought the plusses to save weight.


but, talk about extravagant, your Berthoud rack and mudguards cost a fortune!!

I also have a Carradice Bagman, and yeah, you can't have a lot of weight on it, I'd say max 8kg before the weight starts bouncing around. I've never had that much weight on it except for the 1km from the shop to home.

The mudguards are only about £10 more than standard SKS (£40), but the Berthoud is expensive (€115). Unfortunately all the cheaper racks of a similar style attach to cantilever bosses, and I didn't have any. Sprockets UK import the Nitto M18 now (a mere £85), but at the time it was go to Japan for it, or there was a very similar rack from Rivendell in the US.
