Supernova makes a similar one.

Sorry about the late reply! I was pretty happy with the campees, theres more to choose from today but back then it was pretty much these or those ugly Surly racks that most tourers used. Can’t say I thought much about the weight but with a steel bike, panniers and so on, obv the whole thing’s gonna be pretty heavy. One thing I did like was the ability to take the low riders off for daily use. I used the bike for commuting and such as well and it becomes more of a normal bike without them. Just stick a basket on top of the front rack and day to day use is sorted. Today I have more of a minimalist bikepacking thing going on. I did buy the Oac erlen rack recently though…

That was one of only a few that I had left. Taken 10 years ago on my Iphone 5… :) Should be more on a hdd hidden somewhere… The bike is a Bob jackson World tour with bar end shifters, dynamo, Sugino triple, Nitto campee racks, Carradice bags, VO rando front bag, decaleur - the whole lot. Lovely bike for touring!

Love this thread! Found a few of my setups from recent years.

Yea I agree. I’d say that 3h on the final night is alright, especially after sleeping about 6h the night before. But doing 1,5h or less several days in a row? Just no way thats enjoyable and only doable on considerable amounts of caffeine.

Jakub 15k behind after sleeping for about 3h. Sofiane did about 1,5h? Who can hike the last climb the fastest? I'd say it's gonna be close. I know Jakub is into ultra running, might come in handy :) I'd also say that Sofiane is willing to take risks in a way Jakub is not, might be what it comes down to. Will they reach the pass before dark? It's about 100k with something like 2300m of climbing.

From what I can find Jakub is the fastest rider out there so far. The others up top will have to continue to rest less than him to keep up. He did the same thing in 2019, looking very organized and risk averse. Very impressive.

So I'm trying to upload a bunch of new routes to my Garmin 530. But I realised that when trying to upload 5 routes I only get 4. If I upload the one missing one of the others go missing instead?? These are pretty long routes but I got plenty of memory left on the unit. Anyone had this?

I did this from Rättvik to Smygehuk last year. 900k. The route was more challenging than I expected. Lots of short but steep hills, a good bit of (very) coarse gravel and only short bits of asphalt to rest on. I was on a gravel bike with quite limited room for tyres so I was riding standing up quite alot lol. Dunno what have been done route wise this time but there was room for improvement. Mostly very nice tho. Considering doing the whole thing this year but I'm unsure if I'll be able to as it would be quite an undertaking time wise.
