Hello everyone. I wanted to share a brief look at the current leg of my journey through Peru.

I am currently heading toward Machu Picchu via the Santa Teresa route. According to the map, it is not a straight shot, but rather a brutal, endless series of rolling ups and downs. By the time I clear this section, the elevation profile estimates a cumulative total of 2,600 meters of climbing into the thin air, followed by a cumulative 3,400-meter descent down toward the high jungle.

It is undoubtedly going to be a demanding test of endurance for both my legs and my loaded bike, but the sheer scale of the Andean landscape makes every single kilometer worth it. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Wishing you all safe travels！

I was given this plastic piece to protect my derailleur when flying my bike. However, I have no idea the right way to put this on. Does anyone know?

Does anyone have any experience with the new Schwalbe Almotion or Mondial in the wired version?

Until now, the general opinion was that the Mondial was only worth getting as a folding tire, and now the folding version is tubeless-only.

The Almotion used to be folding only (for tube and tubeless), and now there's only a wire version for tubes.

Have you tried it or seen some reviews?

Buenas! Estoy planeando un nuevo viaje en bicicleta. Ya hice uno por Asia y ahora la idea es hacer Argentina-México.

Pero me gustaría mucho poder llevar una guitarra, no sólo como entretenimiento sino para poder hacer algunos pesos durante el viaje con la música.

Alguna idea de cómo transportarla??

Lo primero que se me ocurre es cruzada en el portaequipajes trasero. También armar una especie de soporte para que vaya vertical detrás.

Alguno viajó con guitarra? Conocen alguien que lo haya hecho? Se les ocurren ideas/sugerencias?

p.d.: no es una opción cambiar la guitarra por un UKELELE (?
