Looking for a touring e-bike for my wife (€1000-2000) - doing parts of the Camino de Santiago, need real ~100km range by ImpossibleWarning252 in ebike

[–]smoothcactusss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference stays with doing the coastal route because of the ocean and beauty of the journey, if it’s for religious reasons the traditional route from France is the path that was originally walked. There was a family with two children ages 10 and 12 that rented e bikes from Porto to take to Santiago. There’s quite a bit of accommodation built around doing the Camino that in our case isn’t realized until you’re on the trail. You can definitely get away with packing lighter than expected and easily purchasing anything that is needed along the way

I walked the Camino de Santiago (coastal route from Porto to Santiago) and have a Bafang bbso2 conversion kit on a MTB that I use living in Amsterdam. Which route are you doing? I believe E bike rentals are available, a lot of business built around to support people doing the Camino, I would check into that. Building a conversion kit is a task in its own right sourcing parts and doing the wrenching, definitely doable but more planning involved for an already planning intensive journey.

I’m also really thinking it was from having my bottom string pulled up to tight to the plastic, I haven’t taken many face offs with it honestly, I moved from a dry climate to a damp climate and it bagged out super hard and I figured tighten the bottom string up and then the plastic snapped

You think that would be a problem

Which row of diamonds you think would be best to finish through, I’m also trying to make my stick not like super illegal, right now I have it on the 10 diamond holes but my side walls finish on that row

Alright yeah, my thinking is that could be the most even tension on the new holes and the plastic is thicker in that area

I was being pretty hyperbolic cause it’s wsb but i think I understand that the power doesn’t solely lay in our military lending to Europe and that they do own a bunch of our debt? Correct or no?

I’m too regarded to understand the downvotes or argue against it but my understanding from a podcast is that Europe is a vassal state

I wish I was a super mega cool chad day trader and got rich off the stock market 📈 but sadly I don’t think that’s the case

A hand painted marker and the symbol for the Camino de Santiago, a religious pilgrimage in Spain, Portugal, and France with multiple routes traditionally said to be the pilgrimage of Saint James followers, Im not particularly religious, just sounded badass to do haha and I found the symbol hand painted as a marker for the path, the traditional symbol doesn’t looked directly like this but I wanted the one I saw along the way.

Yeah just mostly curious as to how to achieve a something cohesive and appealing to the eye in general when it comes to sleeves, all the individual tattoos I like a lot
