streamlined kit, just under 15kg
Kit list/photos please (for the bored, stuck at home cyclists that never get to go anywhere different now and live vicariously though others travels...)

Right now I can offer you a photo sans aerobars...I've got rough list, I'll put something together. I think it's quite common that nobody else in my life gives a shit about this stuff aside from strangers on the Internet.
Edit to preempt the abuse for using carbon rims and Shimano GRX for touring while worrying about CK hubs. Thank you, noted.

Good post! I am actually pretty experienced in long road trips in the car, separate trips in Central Europe, Balkans and North America and like you say, solving the issues that arise is actually part of the fun. Obviously this "risk" is more pronounced on two wheels, im not equating the two.
Leaving Scotland 20th of April so while still a bit chilly hopefully not too bad. To my mind I have a streamlined kit, just under 15kg (ive lost 10kg of my own weight thankfully) for full camp set up et al. Bike at 11.5kg albeit minus 2 kg of full bottles.
On the question of the thread, I have already replaced the CK Hubs with Hope and feel better for it.
I may be in touch mate, thanks for the offer.
