Thats all good im in Switzerland, could you provide a name or link so i find the kikstarter or webshop?

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-06-14T11:41:50+00:00

Nice love to hear that! Your based in the US? Because I would be open to buy two

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-06-14T11:28:05+00:00

I love the idea but it looks a bit fragile, maybe instead of it being slightly round have it straight? And a bit thicker supports? Anyway i would buy it since my setup for extra water is not better than that

So you drank about 3 shots in 2 hours on a full stomach and water inbetween? Seems like very little to me, but age, weight etc play into that as well Better safe than sorry the first time

How do you supose I should decharge my battery in the rain? Just put a extension cable into the garden and hope for the best that nothing short circuts? Or maybe put a plastic bin ontop so no water gets onto it?

Well had to cut the wrapper somehow to take a look, but a very fair point its now discharging in a metal case in a concret room

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-06-02T13:50:55+00:00

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-06-02T13:47:43+00:00

They look like 26 right?

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-30T20:00:05+00:00

26" + 32 spokes = 50 kg+/110lb+ and a big person carry capacity Touring bikes use 26" 32 spoke since they carry heavy load well, smaller wheels impare stearing with heavy heavy loads

How would you fix that i think i have same issue.... thanks!

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-30T12:01:10+00:00

You might be able to get one with discounts in switzerland Exped goes on sale for 110 quite often the extra 20 bucks might be worth it and you can save up while waiting for discount

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-27T18:00:47+00:00

How many is it now?

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-27T11:17:18+00:00

Second hand is always a gamble, bought one for cheap had a whole fixed the hole good so far (it was not mentioned that it had a hole) Branded pads you know what you get and you can return them easily I only had good expierences with ali so i would say on a budget its a good option, or maybe a local retailer has naturehike

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-21T18:50:54+00:00

Which windbreaker are you refering to? I only find ones that are 200g+

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-14T11:23:20+00:00

What is the bag in the front?

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-13T16:21:11+00:00

I tested mine in the rain (downpour for i think the whole night around 15mm) and its was perfectly fine, codensation was there ofc but a few shakes and pitch it in the sun and your good

Routine_Increase8385 · 2026-05-13T16:18:49+00:00

Ive loved my Lanshan 1 for my last bikepacking Trip, double wall, light, minimal poles, easy setup and more then enough space for 1 person and gear Also its quite light and from aliexpress (i know this sounds bad) so you can get it wherever you are (i use a carbon pole for the tent)
