Hi!
I didn't see a specific forum for presentations so I'll do it here
. If I can't do this, I'm sorry just delete the post
My name is Albert I'm from Barcelona,Spain and I use to ride my bike in cross-country marathon races in my country.
But for summer, I'm planning on doing something more calmer, without caring about times or average speeds. Just enjoying landscapes and nature...
I want to do a touring trip, crossing the Spanish Pyrenees from east to west. Starting in LlancĂ and finishing in Hondarribia. It is a "classic" trip called "La TravesĂa de los Pirineos en BTT"
I have never did touring before so I have a lot of doubts.
The problem I see is that my bike doesn't have mounting points for luggage racks, just for bottle cages... I have checked some brands like topeak and oldmountain for a solution but I haven't found anything.
My idea is to be self-sufficient except for the food. I would like to carry my own tent (I checked the topeak bikamper, but there's not a 29er version), tools, sleeping bag, thermal blanket and whistle for emergency, camera, ...
I have seen the mounts that hangs from the seat post but... for a carbon frame, are they suitable?
Thanks!
