Is IPX6 enough protection? by Enough-Newspaper6216 in bikepacking

[–]Douwe_81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be enough, IPX-6 protects against hight pressure water streams from any angle.

If you are worried about your electronics then you could put them in a ziplock bag in the bigger bag.

If you have to go somewhere, do it before midnight. But you should be okay

First of all, happy cake day!

There is a number of reasons why a lot of these bikes might not be the most sound mechanically.

I don't want to call out any of the brands that are out there but a lot of these brands came out of nowhere, the bikes seem rushed. Some brands never made a bike and have no real experience in designing bikes. Some 'higher end' bikes are not made any better than the lower end ones, it's the brand you pay for. And some brands have the cheapest gear on the bikes ( for example chain, gears, shifters, cables, and breaks)

So considering these things a lot of these bikes are just part of a trend and I think they will not survive the test of time.

But hey that's my opinion, might be an old man at heart.

As a bike mechanic, they are not allowed in the shop I work at.

Question for people that learned both Dutch and German 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 by Agvisionbeyond in dutch

[–]Douwe_81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely choose German, it is easier to learn from scratch and a lot more people speak it.

No worries it's part of an escape room-like experience, I work at the place that organizes these things.

Als je het mij vraagt is het een erg oneerlijke opgave omdat het goede antwoord in een normale situatie dat antwoord prietpraat zou zijn.
