For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Since i have mod powers i am just going to try this.

This topic is meant to be a low threshold possibility for all kinds of discussion. It is not meant to keep anybody from creating a new topic, the idea is that it may enable some discussion that would otherwise not happen at all.

Just a test balloon to see if this will get used. Do you think it is a good idea?

Oh i didn't even notice you had electronic shifting. I guess it feels real good!

Actually 'what's in your tool box' would be a nice classic topic on its own, haha.

I’m definitively in for those future discussions! Yeah electronic shifting is better than I thought it would be, I’m really happy with it. But the more remote you go the bigger the risk of something happening I can’t repair myself.
