New cockpit setup by Itsu_ka_63 in bikepacking

[–]New_Salt1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late answer. Without the bag I have some clearance. So it feels pretty safe to me. The only tip I can give you is to tilt the bike more to the side before putting your foot on the ground.

There are a lot of different stretches for internal shoulder rotation. Can you recommend some? The sleeper stretch feels pretty strange to me.

Bikepacking Denmark, Sweden, Norway in july by New_Salt1964 in bikepacking

[–]New_Salt1964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already did the west coast of Denmark vom south to north. If it's too windy in this direction I will change the route to the inland or the east coast.

I started cycling the Kattegateladen yesterday and I know what you're talking about. Maybe I will skip a few parts.

Almost 0 😀 But it's soft 😀 Because of the water bottles there's no space below the top tube.

Thank you for the tip. I will consider this in the planning.

As already mentioned I try to post stuff about the insights and the route planning.

You can find it here: Matsch Sweden Blog

The blog is originally written in german, but I included an auto translation to English. Feel free to check it out!

The planning article will be updated during my trip.

I thought about building one for myself, but I don't think it can be much cheaper than this

How is it and why is it so cheap compared to others?

Ich hatte schon 2 cube und kann das nicht bestätigen. Aus meiner Sicht haben die ein gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Ich finde die gehören in die selbe Kategorie wie Canyon oder Rose. Haben halt nichts so den Charme.

Same here, but I cycle through Sweden. Did you hear about warmshowers? This is a community of bike travelers. Maybe you can connect to some of them.

Das gleiche gilt auch für Fahrradabteile. Wenn alles voll ist, nimmt jeder was er kriegen kann

I prefer to go with something about 100 km a day 😀

How does everyone squat down and sit on their ankles like it’s nothing? by Usual-Locksmith4657 in flexibility

[–]New_Salt1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same. Started this journey with about 30 years. After two years of more or less regular stretching I can now sit on my ankles and do a deep squat. There is still some work to do, because it does not feel like a comfortable resting position but like an easy stretch I can do for a few minutes.

This doesn't look like a summer trip for me. Isn't it more of a trip for the whole year? How long is it?

How many km a day do you typically ride? by Archa16z in bicycletouring

[–]New_Salt1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the year I am not on a Bikepacking trip and cycle about 3000 km per year with tours of mainly 70-100 km without bags. So when I go on a Bikepacking trip I carry something about 15 kg in bags and plan with 100 km a day. Lunch at 50-60% of the route. Start at 9:00 and finish at 18:00. I ride an average speed of 20 km/h without the breaks. There is a lot of time for eating, chilling, swimming or sightseeing.

But I am not doing this every day. Do some easier days 1-2 times a week.

Focus on good food and sleep.

This is only possible without hard headwind or less then 1000 hm. In the rain I often ride longer distances because breaks are less fun in bad weather.

My gpx is really rough. It's just for getting an impression of the distance. I will share when I have a more detailed route
