If you're in the U.S., for Bottom Bracket problem try a Phil Wood sealed square taper BB. It should last. For Deb's bike you could get a steel fork with disc brake mount. Check Black Mountain Cycles, he has a few steel forks for disc brakes, and is the best wheel builder in California if you want to get rid of that generator hub. Happy trails!☮

I think everybody had their own "just in case" kinda thing for their touring bike set-up lol. New subs here. Really enjoy your video. I hope both of you are in a good health. Stay safe out there. I hope I can have a chance to do the same thing as yours. Someday.

Thanks for the video. Always good to see what everyone carries. Gave me a few ideas for my setup.

Thank you!

Thanks for the video, lots of great information. Maybe a video on physically what it’s like to be cycling every day, stretching, resting, how to deal with any physical issues etc bad back, muscle strains would be interesting.

Thanks! From Debs

Nice to see a mature couple out and about. I just found your channel and it looks delightful. Years ago, I was on tour with a group of six friends and all the women brought a little black dress and a straw hat for a night on the town or village. You seem to be really enjoying yourselves and traveling at a sensible pace and have found out how to live the life of a 21st Century nomad. I'm a wee bit older and at 82 but I'm now doing short near to home trips since my riding friends are now registered in the book of memories.

Thanks, that is a wonderful comment and lovely to hear. We hope you have many years of local rides still to come.

Well I didn’t understand the bike stuff but admire how ‘light’ you are able to travel. I guess if you’re responsible for getting up a mountain then it makes it a bit easier to do without things. Keep smiling x

Thanks Di.

That was brilliant and really fascinating. I am glad I am not the only one who has lots of “just in case” 😀 Thank you for sharing.

Top notch and very useful information. Tom, I especially like the way you incorporated your tooth into your bike! 👍👍 🤔 There's a creative story to tell over a pint on how it got there. Amazing world tour!! 🚴🚴

Thanks Bob. Yeah, the tooth is crazy and a good talking point.

We have Helinox Chair Zeroes. I’m 6’5” and close to 96kg and they are good for me.

7:35 The maskot is a Pokemon called Tangela. It's a Grass-type Pokemon that looks like a tangle of vines with a pair of large eyes staring out from within. What the creature actually looks like inside is a mystery.

Fantastic, well done. Wish we had a prize we could send you! Tangela is my favourite Pokemon.

Hey!....Great vid and you both have a very 'down-to-earth' presenter patter👍🏻

Have watched every video you have made and both of you are truly an inspiration and a wonderful example of retirement, well done. Regarding the Ortlieb clips you could glue them in place?

Indeed about breathable waterproof. I also use plastic ones.

Thanks. Yes, you've got to be steady with data with Glocalme, but waiting for the special offers and discounts helps. You can put a local sim card in it, which we did in the US (Verizon), so then it is just like a wifi hotspot off the sim, though it can be hard to find a data only sim that allows hotspots.

Great video, thanks for all the info. I have added a couple of extra bits to my mental kit list as a result. One question, how easy is the Rohloff twist control to use? My wife’s arthritis is playing hell with changing gear.

@debsandtom8731

Thanks. It's hard to say about the twist control, I guess it's easier on the fingers but harder on the wrist, as you need to twist it round rather than push a lever. Rohloff do offer an electronic shifter I think.
