  • My time in Galicia brought me to my limits. ''Amazing'' weather for weeks, wet feet all day long and never ending rain.
    Watch me trying to make the best out of it and ending up being totally sick and exhausted. This is also Bikepacking!

    You do such a good job with all of this, esp since you are doing it on a phone … your photography, your on camera presence, your storyline, your editing … it’s all great … one room to improve … maybe show a little more when you are in towns doing stuff off the bike … expand storyline and make it both bikepacking and travel flog (just a thought) … you have found your calling …

    Hi I've really been enjoying catching up on your videos so far! I just wanted to mention that those neoprene socks are a really good idea, but it would work even better if you size them up and wear merino wool socks under them. This system was my secret weapon when I was a courier in Edmonton. Don't believe the myth that neoprene needs to be next to your skin - you are not scuba diving lol - merino next to skin is the most comfortable and warmest, even when it's soaked. But at least that way you can wear them until they get soaked and change them out. Cheers! I'm looking forward to following along.

Hopefully my knees will hold out or I dont get some other kind of injury. I need to start a training plan to build up I think. Thanks for the inspiration and really well done YOU!!

    Use spoke wrench to “true” the wheel. You tighten and loosen spokes where the wheel bends and loosen or tighten opposite spokes. Use brake pads if caliper brakes or seat tube as guides.

    Habe mir Video einfach mal so angesehen, es wurde mir vorgeschlagen. Eine tolle Sache, den Mut zu haben, eine solche Tour zu machen. Als kommender neu E-Bike Fahrer hätte ich eine Frage an Dich, wie haben sich die Regenjacke und der Poncho so geschlagen? Zumindest die Jacke müßte von Decathlon gewesen sein.

    • @giantcheerio
      @giantcheerio  10 месяцев назад +2

      Die Jacke war der reinste Müll. Aber um ehrlich zu sein war es auch mein Fehler die billigste Regenjacke zu nehmen. Decathlon hat sehr gutes Zeug, aber die günstigste Regenjacke empfehle ich nicht:D
