I was late to find out about Laels route. Not only did she pass through the city i currently live in, she went right by the house i grew up in which was 2 hours away. A friend from my hometown was able to ride with her to show her support, two others were able to snap a photo of her riding over the Suspension bridge! Best of luck on your tour Lael!

There's a podcast episode about all of the choices behind the bike build. Really interesting listen. Lael's thumb nail turned black and fell off when using mechanical on another ultra endurance ride. I'm sure sponsors may have factored a bit in the decision as well though.

depending on the front light Lael attaches to her dynamo hub, she'll likely have a USB port for charging batteries and phone while riding. No prob.

I'm also surprised by the decision of going with electronic shifting. Having to keep batteries charged up to simply be able to shift would be last thing I would want to worry about pedaling around the world. Although she probably has a Son dynamo to take care of that.

@bittiapina Ай бұрын

@@nicofinfinaud She explained on the podcast (Lael rides around the world on Spotify) she's doing that it's mostly because of the hands, mechanical shifting over the distances that she does is harder on her hands, electronic shifting helps alleviate the pain in her fingers, so that's why. She's got extra batteries and a battery bank to charge all her electronics.

Well it is a sponsored bike, ofc they want to showcase the new red groupset. Best case would be force wide 43/30 with the new red shifters and ofc 36t cassette

@@I3ene1 I think the new Force shifters will be better on longer rides, shape is comfier. But I am yet to see the new RED live so can't be sure about that until I try them.
