Cycling Scotland's North Coast 500 | Part 3

The final phase of our route around the Scottish Highlands. What a stunning route it's been! Flatter terrain now on this final section, which could mean stronger and more consistent headwinds..!

The rain and wind continued, making it tricky to find usable hours in which to cover the miles. The luxury of our motorhome, however, made the trip warm, comfortable, and a lot of fun!

    Yeah, that 26 iinch original surlyl LHT can handle basically anything as long as you have decent wheels. Off road no problem, on road it still quite good. As the frame is so stiff I found might makes faster progress then some of my other bikes. I tried loading up an aluminium specialized rockhopper once, it had so much flex I couldn't ride it across a carpark. I'm surprised the AWOL flexed through 🧐.

    @alexmorgan3435 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely NOT worth it on a cost basis. I spent around £700 for a Son 28 hub, wheel build, charge plug and Edelux 2 light and rear. And you have to be riding quite fast to get a reasonable amount of charge from them to power anything. RAV or Anker power banks are a much better alternative. Two 26k mH Rav power banks can give me enough power for 7 days easily, charging my phone, Garmin Edge 1000, Fenix 5 watch, Go Pro batteries. Also get their 18/21W solar panels as they are pretty good and only cost £50-60. A hub dynamo such as a Son or SP is great if you want to have the convenience and reassurance of having lights on the whole time as you ride. But then again modern LED lights have minimal power consumption. My Exposure Max D will last 3 hours on full power and 8 on low. Get Exposure's piggy back battery and you get 8 hours on full power (Very bright) and 16 hours on low power (still bright). A cheap Shimano dynamo hub is perhaps the way to go if you want to power lights. Forget powering anything else as the charge can just be too low or erratic. You aren't going to charge anything creeping up a 15% slope on a loaded touring bike.

  • @alexmorgan3435
    @alexmorgan3435 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yebbut it is also the steps between gears that is important. You don't want massive jumps or drops to the next gear as on a loaded touring bike it will be a miserable experience. The bike will most certainly be dictating how your ride. BikeCalc doesn't cater for internal hub gears.

  • @alexmorgan3435
    @alexmorgan3435 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Surly have discontinued this LHT but the Disc Trucker still continues which is basically the same bike but with better more practical disc brakes. No more worn out wheel rims. Even better is to ride a Surly Troll (also discontinued) or an ECR with Rohloff hub for ultimate reliability and very low maintenance.
