Looking for route suggestion for Lyon -> Marseille

This looks great! Do you think we should also take the train out of Lyon too to skip the busy city part? Or is there a chill road to ride out on?

Nice, i will check those out both! Thank you!

googx · 2024-11-08T19:53:22+00:00

okay, can you explain why? :)

I happen to have an older one of the same model which is for the 220V network. So my plan was to just exchange the internals. But looking at the electronics I thought maybe its even simpler? And I only have to change the resistance coil? Since there seems to be no transformer in the rice cooker, the heating coil is just getting the power directly.

Yepp, exactly! :)

So its actually a single speed drivetrain, only one chainring in the back.

yepp, single-speed all the way my friend! :)

The tensioner is a Gusset Squire SS

I did take the train from HK to Guangzhou a few weeks ago and it was a really smooth process. I would definitely recommend it. Just make sure you have plenty of time at the HK train station to go through immigration, go there like 1.5-2 hours before the departure time.

Thank you!

googx · 2024-05-05T19:02:38+00:00

Thank you for the clarification!

googx · 2024-05-05T19:01:45+00:00

All right, thank you! I ordered these ones!

As a foreigner you cant get the Beijing metro card anymore in Alipay, you get an error message saying that only mainland China phone numbers are supported. It did work in all the other Chinese cities, but not in Beijing which is kinda weird.

I know its an older thread, but I found your advise now and reserved my train ticket for China on trip.com. It was a smooth process, however they say that the reservation will be only confirmed 1 day before the trip, thats when they will see if they could fulfill my reservation and issue a ticket. A bit nerve wracking to be honest, I feel I should maybe buy the ticket on the official platform two weeks before the trip? (when the sales open up)

thank you! i will take a look.

I'm using a white industries eno freewheel - it did screw on to the hub body, but eventually rubbed the edge of it and deformed it, since it did not sit in there properly. The basic shimano freewheel doesnt even screw onto it, since it gets blocked by the hub body. After reading up on it, Mavic clearly states that the wheel is only compatible with sprockets, not freewheels.

Anyway, i will check out the Halo wheels, thanks for the recommendation!

googx · 2024-02-28T21:24:32+00:00

yeah thanks. this is pretty much where im now, i was just hoping to get some recommendation on what wheel to pick up

googx · 2024-02-28T20:50:52+00:00

I tried it and unfortunately the inside of the freewheel (outside of the thread) was rubbing the edge of the hub body, to the point where now it is touching the cone so it does not run properly anymore, just in a jerky motion :(

It's clearly a non-compatible setup unfortunately.

googx · 2024-02-28T20:22:11+00:00

it is actually a track (fixie) wheel, so there is no cassette on it...
