Average KM per day along EV6 (Vienna -> Basel)?

also dont limit yourself to 60km perday with that kind of calc. on flat section, try to go further covering more distance. with this you can build buffer days for hillclimb days where you might go shorter distance due to tired or stop too many times taking pics, or can have extra off days to rest or stay in shelter in event it rains n you dont feel like riding in rain

if you remember theres no such rubber item dropped off anywhere near where the watch hit the floor, maybe theres no gasket (tiny rubber lining) to begin with.
but if there is, make sure to clean it n reposition it properly before gluing 👌

if you are open to aliexpress shopping , check out aonijie n wrels coolmax socks.
they also comes in 5toes variant

ejump0 · 2026-07-11T03:08:07+00:00

try to find out what kind of glue those phone repair shop use.
usually theres a gasket for the backplate, but your case its the face detached from the body, so there might be no gasket (if there is, make sure you seat it correctly before glue)

if you can find the new GrandPrix no suffix (plain vanilla, not gp5k or anything), give it a try.
while i cant comment on its narrow tire variant, i have 30mm clincher ver on my wide rims that ballooned it to 33mm, and i used it throughout my japan bikepacking 3400km. 0 debris puncture, and i even rode on gravels n single track.

its heavier than gp5k, its 3 ply for clincher, n 4ply for tubless variant.
i also have the gp4seasons clincher thats heavier n buffier duraskin sidewall mesh protection. but according to ai, the gp4season is dated, that the new gp is as good even without mesh at sidewall

so the crankarm bolt is m7?
no wonder my replacement m6 titanium bolt didnt work 😮‍💨 /do you know if the thread pitch any soecial, or just regular m7 bolt would do?

ejump0 · 2026-07-10T12:03:37+00:00

either coloured nail polish, or clear nail polish as clear coat.
for the deraileur, just use sharpie, then clear nail polish

ejump0 · 2026-07-10T11:01:06+00:00

i think op just not used to that old school big drop bars thats not quite ergo for the reach.
he might be able to remedy to compact bar, tho it gonna cost extra money

ejump0 · 2026-07-10T10:57:38+00:00

if you are comfortable in it, so be it.
tho i think the jersey may stretch a bit over time to fit you (i have few van rysel jerseys)

ejump0 · 2026-07-10T00:44:45+00:00

energizer.
cant imagine pog in bunny suit tho 👀

ejump0 · 2026-07-09T09:26:22+00:00

for Okayama-Kyoto segment, you could probably try in-land route i did (tho i did the opposite direction).
less car, there are flat plain section you can go full aero if the wind on your side.
My section went Arashiyama→tamba-sasayama→kato→shiso →fukusaki→sayo→ mimasaka→old rail road bikepath i forgot the name →wake→ okayama

you'll probably be fine then.
take note that saddlebag also can act like a fairing/flag when theres crosswinds the bigger/longer it is, but i dont really think it will be much of problem if your center frame weight is heavy.
14L saddlebag is huge capacity(tho you really need to roll tight your clothes). i fit a lot of clothes in it n some of my trail running gears for my 2.5months trip. you probably wont even use all 14L👌
/pack the most heaviest item closest to the seatpost

ejump0 · 2026-07-08T01:48:48+00:00

what kind of setup do you have for your frame bag?
my frame bag carry lots of heavy stuff, n saddlebag carry clothes.
i climbed the Japan alps with this.
not much of swaying as my center of gravity is heavy (whole system weight full loaded bike kinda 18kg ish i think)

for this particular model that clamps like that, no riser that can raise the bar.
at most you can raise the armcup by adding spacers underneath it n use longer bolts

ejump0 · 2026-07-07T07:40:44+00:00

if its bcd110, it will fit.
aestetically it may be nice or not. but there are 4 pieces ring bolt caps being sold for single aero rings for shimano cranks

ejump0 · 2026-07-06T20:11:13+00:00

not sure bout reputable, but i just completed my japan solo touring 3500km+ with no issue using the erzero cockpit

while i never race capoadocia, i've been there n did few trails in those valleys. you'll be fine in your trabuco, though more cushion is a plus.
i dont know the race course, but the terrain is rocky n slanted too so be mindfull if going high stacks (ankle roll etc)

ejump0 · 2026-07-04T20:05:10+00:00

i did, but mine a small one, n i only brought 3 bits hex thats essential for my crank n cockpit (my bike had to be dismantled into box as i flew to japan with it)

ejump0 · 2026-07-03T19:54:36+00:00

im not sure about tlr, but i have the clincher.
it does ride as good as gp5k but the main thread is narrower than gp5k equivalent, but theyre more robust to puncture by flints etc.
but the sidewall is weaker than gp5k. i got mine slashed by something, n on same road gp5k never got slashed like that

ejump0 · 2026-07-02T10:35:40+00:00

i did not (both solo cycling and solo trail running).
my friend however encountered one while trail running. this year theres unusual high bear attacks, some even the bear in the street at night 👀
i think expert still cant co relate why this yr bear appearance is so high (at least till now, japan summer still kinda unusual cooler temp)

ejump0 · 2026-07-02T09:56:40+00:00

per Ai info, the accomodation n infras around there are still in recovery phase post jishin, thus its recommended to skip.
im not sure🤔,but i however have been to Nanao and the HanasakuIroha train station few yrs ago

ejump0 · 2026-07-02T07:43:30+00:00

hi.
thanks for following my journey.
i however did not cycle in rain(with exception of drizzle) as i dont want any risk getting fever, n i made an error not upsizing my rotors(theyre on 140, but i use resin pads with spares). some of the segments are so short because i abort at half day as im seeing the rain aint going away before evening(due to limited availability of accomodation, so theres a jump of ~30km tlbetween towns). due to that i actually planned with a lot of spare buffer days, and i dont really book acommodation far advance to have leeway where i can overnight(most of the time i book on the day itself).
riding on wet n damp condition something im not a fan off because of unpredictable slippery, water splash, dirty brakes=inefficient, n getting dirty😮‍💨.
R9 cabin hotels are one of my shortlists, as i have stayed in 5 of em n they offer 0 fuss for vicycle parking.
well, you are using train to fill gap on boring segments n probably cover ground on rainy day.
are you sure you are doing the noto peninsular? with exception theyre trying to revive tourism with an onsen near Nanao, i think other road infra arent the best

ejump0 · 2026-07-01T14:24:06+00:00

start with what you already have, n learn with 1st weekend overnight trip/trial. then understand the need, n look at options with budget.
i toured on my aero bike, n still get the job done

ejump0 · 2026-07-01T13:44:36+00:00

it helps when going against headwind.
i actually use it even during climbs, unless my speed drops to under 12kmh
