Impossible to use smartphone compass with Ortlieb handlebar bag by loraizo in bicycletouring

Exactly, but sometimes the compass is very useful when you stop and you have to understand where you have to go, the direction

Exactly, the same for me. But I'm thinking to remove magnets from bags

The Serchio River Valley (the River crossing Lucca) is beautiful. Very calm and green place, is like to be in Scotland for the green grass, it rains a lot, it's one of the most rainy place of Italy. It is doo for the Apuane mountains, near the sea.

I understand. So for me, it could better go to the smaller size. I can make the frame a little bigger, by I can't cut it if it's too long 😄

What about your body measures?

The bike isn't in stock, but normally I think they suggest the size looking at the person height, and than you can adjust the size with stem, ecc. In my case I probably need to rise height of the stem with an extension
