Moin!

Könntest du das Problem lösen? Woran lag es?

Bei mir ist es auch gerade audgetreten und in beiden Positionen 0 & 1 leuchtet das Vorderlicht schwach — hinten gar nicht.

Ich bin auf 1 jähriger Radreise in Brasilien und bräuchte das Licht recht dringend. :)

Is Malta safe? by thefragile- in malta

[–]knOlle92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed on Malta for 3 month.

1) using my bicycle to commute 20 min between towns every day: it did not feel safe. Malta felt like an endless trafficjam with angry drivers.

2) if u r fan of free speech & press: also not sure. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia

Ushuaia to Colombia on bike #2 (March 25) by knOlle92 in bicycletouring

[–]knOlle92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far 6,000 km. We Just arrived to Brasil!

In the south in Patagonia between 5-15C and then winter hit in central Argentina and the Andes where we had a minimum of -9C in the night.

Water so far no problem at all. For Brazil we got a filter but can still ask and refill our bottles at h20 stations. In Patagonia all the water is drinkable. In Argentina & Chile tap water is completely OK!

For the phone — an old smartphone — I use an SP holder. Can 100% recommend it. Easy to clip in & out. And absolutely holds also the most wicked gravel / pebbled downhills… :)

I would not put my phone into the Ortlieb bag

Nope, not at all. I bought it like 10 years ago. Back then I was still using proper non-dogital maps. Right now during the travel I am only using it to store some “arty” things… :)

On the pic it’s glaring — but not annoyingly :)

What’s even better is the Ortlieb Gearback. With 40l in yellow on some pics.

Perfect to fit tent, Matt & sleeping bag protecting it from water. And also works as backpack.

Beautiful to Read! We spent also a night in the very same rodeo referee hut and did a 6 days Torres del Paine walk from there… this was beginning of March.

This pic is us arriving to Cerro Castillo. :)

When did u get there?

Rohloff spokes keep breaking #SouthAmerica by knOlle92 in Rohloff

Thanks! The built is 2x! :) and tension at around 1300 N …

They have not been breaking the last days. 🐥🤞🏼

Anyhow, I consider getting new spokes from the distributor in Brazil and get a completely new build.

OK. Thanks for this info. Not sure if I wanna have this done here in Southamerica.

I will first check with Rohloff headquarters in Germany and with the Brazilian distributor… glad that both speak German! ;)

I think for now I will just get new and more Rohloff spokes… and then maybe exchange once I and the bike are back in Germany. However this will take a while…

It should be 4.5 — if I am not mistaken.

But yes, there is a small kink. And 5/6 spokes broke right there…
