I. About equipment
(a) Bicycles (Southerners are called bicycles)
Choose 2,000 yuan brand bikes, such as Giant's ATX770 and Merida's Duke 650, etc., reliable, cost-effective, riding more people, more maintenance points along the way, accessories easy to find.
My is ATX690, 1725 yuan, without front fork lock function, will discharge force on long slopes, wasting some physical strength, (but I think it does not matter, is to exercise in order to exercise it. In addition, I climb a large slope Most of them are also the first and second drops)
Yushan Road encountered a young man in Wenzhou who was riding a 380 yuan ordinary bicycle into Tibet, so he said that the performance of the bicycle was not the main one. The rider said: “The speed of riding is mainly dependent on the engine†means that it mainly depends on the human strength. And will.
In short: "There is no car that can't go, only people can't go"
If a rider is prepared to ride on the road, he or she can choose to fold the car, but it is very difficult to ride on a large slope, and it is dangerous to go down the slope and the speed of the road is too slow.
(b) necessary equipment
Cycling helmets, riding gloves, flashlights and taillights are a must. As long as you get on the car, you must wear a helmet and gloves. You must not be lucky.
(III) Other equipment
Shelves choose steel shelves, aluminum alloy racks are easy to break long-distance bumps; (currently there is no steel shelves disc brakes, so comprehensive comparison, it is best to choose V brake)
Camel bags are of good quality, strong and waterproof, and preferably have no zipper. A good camel bag can relieve many annoyances, especially in rainy days. Don't choose too big, wind resistance is big, and it is very painful. (On the way, choose DW package riding or motorcycle travel There are a lot of people in Tibet, and I am too, Taobao Search: Tibetan Mastiff.) Next time I go to choose the tank bag for the motorcycle, light and simple, and the wind resistance is minimal.
Riding glasses are best; large sand, harsh sunlight and evening flying insects are most useful, but not at all other times.
Magic turbans can be purchased for two, and when the weather is cold, the knees can be warm and windproof.
Camera with a card machine on the line, SLR pick and place trouble, the card machine can also ride on the premise of ensuring safety, quickly capture fleeting along the way customs, but also not delay the time.
If you need to repair tools, take a pump, chain oil, tire repair tool, plus a small wrench combination tool.
Spare parts with a spare inner tube and a pair of brake pads are enough, chain cutters, brake transmission lines, etc. Do not take, the chance of bad is very small, I rode 6600 kilometers, never bad.
Camping equipment is recommended not to use, the frequency of use is very low, wind resistance is still large, camping, then charging, bathing, safety, etc. are not well resolved, the most important is a bad rest.
Most hotels along the way are 20-30 yuan price, comprehensive comparison is better to live.
Without special GPS, the frequency of use is very low. There are road piles along the national road. It is hard to go wrong. When you are in the city, you can ask for directions.
In addition, most mobile phones now have a GPS function, but even if there are GPS instructions, it is better to ask the locals again. Taking the wrong ones hurts the mood of travel.
If you want to save your own GPS path, there are special GPS path recorders available on the Internet that are small in size.
If you want to charge more, bring a patch panel because most hotel rooms have only one outlet.
Lightweight hair dryers are useful, especially for Tibetans. Tibetans have a lot of rain, and the weather changes instantly. It is inevitable that the footwear and clothes will be wetted.
It can be used to quickly dry clothes after staying in the evening, which can also reduce the extra spare clothes.
If the cup holder is made of metal, the tension of the plastic is not enough, and the cup is easy to drop when the downhill bumps.
The cup proposes to choose a space cup that can be directly filled with water in hotels along the way, saving water money.
The choice of opening is a small push, so you can drink with one hand without having to get off the bike.
You can bring two space cups, small ones in the car, and big ones.
It is recommended to install and reduce hand fatigue. I can’t stand it all the way.
I bought a code table for 17 yuan on the Internet, and it was also good to use, but it was necessary to set up a convenient bag to stop the rain during heavy rain.
MP3 speaker online, good point of about 150 yuan
(The rider said that on rainy days condoms, I can only say that riders are too talented)
Whether there is a car bell or not, I bought it at the Woerma Supermarket, with a small compass, it is more practical, but if the speaker is placed next to it, the compass is not allowed.
In short, baggage can be as small as possible, and light and simple lines can make it easier and enjoy the journey!
