Not done anything else to this bike to warrant an update but I am thinking of doing some sort of off-road Bikepacking overnighter for the first time this year hopefully. Nothing too taxing - perhaps one of the South Wales loops on Bikepacking: probably the Gower one (not been there for years and it feels about right in terms of difficulty for a beginner!).
This bike is going to be be fine for that, right? I've only ever ridden it for a couple of hours max and I've no real experience of riding anything other than a road bike longer than that. I'd raise the saddle a little, probably put SPDs on.
To be honest, it’s rarely the bike that’s the problem in my experience - some are more ideal than others but nought more than that. As long as it’s well maintained it’ll be fine I’m sure.
