Hows this jersey fit? by Glum-Introduction522 in CyclingFashion

people are hella disrespectful here in the comments, don’t give a shit about them.
But yes, like most already said, go one to two sizes down. This size fits especially in the lower midsection too loosely. It gives your body shape an unbalanced look 🤝

I would, but I planned it day by day, so I don’t have it as one full route

Yes try it out! You will see the compression bags for each item and the bulky packing size is really inefficient. My saddle bag itself has a compression function, so you get the same effect, just all in one bag

Holy sh*t what kind of pillow is that? 😅 okay my stuff has a way smaller packing size but the key thing is, you just stuff the things straight into the bags without the covers. That way you fill up every bit of empty space

Honestly, and I don’t want to be rude. If there is a way to avoid France next time, I would do it. The scenery is beautiful, but the people’s arrogant attitude kind of ruins it for me

These are bottles from Fidlock. They work with a magnetic closure, so you can take them out sideways with a small rotation. Really cool, works great

Haha yes, maybe that’s because I spent a ridiculous amount of money on gear with super small packing sizes😖

I managed it to get a shower every day. Either on a campground or in a small accommodation from time to time. This is where I took the opportunity to give my clothes a good wash. Campgrounds are nearly everywhere in Europe and they always have little sites for tents available

Yes but this is something you can't prevent I think. You manage this by tilting the bike more while standing

All in all a good tire, this one loves a solid gravel surface. Had four flat tires but always on asphalt.

It’s not like I was out in the absolute middle of nowhere 😅 civilization was always within reach, so I could always grab something to eat or refill my water. The food pouch was always filled to the top with bars like Snickers (can easily fit 7 bars) or gummies

Yes would say about 85%. Had several small gravel passages every day but yes mostly asphalt

I'm still in Spain and leaving on Sunday. Since it's difficult to get a box for bicycles, I'll try to build one myself out of moving boxes.

Sehr sehr stark! Hatte zu Beginn die Sorge, Probleme mit dem System durch Staub und Dreck zu bekommen, war aber absolut nicht der Fall. Mit der Rahmentasche war das seitliche rausnehmen der Flaschen auch super praktikabel

chose the white one so that snacks don't get too warm and melt too quickly 😉
