Review Rockbros side bag (DIY modified with klickfix adapter)
Переглядів 1857 місяців тому
In this video I show you my new side bag from Rockbros (€12 on Aliexpress). The bag has a capacity of 4,5 liters and has a handy flap that closes with Velcro for quick access to your stuff. The bag is also basically waterproof, provided you close the flap properly. This is because the side panels stick out a bit, allowing water to easily flow into the bag. I modified the bag a bit by attaching ...

In this episode, we cycle further south along the edge of the Hardangervidda plateau. From the Persgård campsite, we first cycle about 16 km through flat Uvdal on a quiet main road (Fv40). After this, we start the climb to the Immingfjellet plateau. As usual, the climb starts with a somewhat steeper stretch of 8% to 7 km long up to dam of the Sønstevann, after which the climb flattens out. The ...

hier ga ik me niet aan vertillen
💪
Een paar weken geleden ben ik hier ook geweest. Met de ligfietsers van Mooi Bennekom.
Could you tell me how tall you are? Because I want to buy this model of recumbent but Im afraid that the handlebars might be too tall for me
I'm 1,75m but it is always better to try before you buy ;-)
Nice touring setup!
Hello Minko, soon I'll be buying my recumbent. But before buying I would like to know your opinion about front suspension. Is it really necessary or is it better to save the weight and just buy one with a normal fork? Comfort is important for me, but if the difference is small then I don't see the point. I'm asking because I don't want to buy the bike and then realize that I should have bought it with front suspension. My guess is that it's not that important since 80% of your weight is in the back. Let me know what you think. Thank you
Hi Tiago, yes it is not really needed. Make sure there is enough space in the fork to buy a fat wider front tyre if needed. This will give you enough comfort. I ride two recumbents, one without and one with front suspension. I dont notice a big difference In confort. Which one are you gonna buy? I also saw on marktplaats a guy who had a recumbent bike rental place who is retiring. He sells a lot of bikes for <150 euros each: link.marktplaats.nl/m2122698229 And you can test ride it there.
@@thewizardofoh i haven't decided yet which one. I really wanted a Nazca cruiser but the ones that are for sale people are not really responding. So they are probably sold. Second option is a optima lynx. It's also a nice one. It will depend of who will answer to my messages I guess. There are some challenges, but they are a bit pricey. Will see.
@@TiagoRuivo I saw your bid on a nice HP Streetmachine on marktplaats for a very good price. Hope you can get it! It has under seat steering, but I think you can change it later for above seat handlebars.
@@thewizardofoh I did, but he out bid me. I also think it's a bit strange that there's only one photo.i asked for more but the guy ignored me. I think it's some scam. 200 is just too little for that bike. And 400 is too much for me since I can buy something a lot cheaper. I tried an optima linx and an M5 with shock proof, but I wasn't happy with any. However now I know what I want, and definetly it's a cruiser, something on the lines of the Nazca cruiser or explorer or that hp. The super sporty position is not what I'm looking for. Will see, I have one deal already aligned but living in Cadzand is not easy to get to the cities, and it's pretty expensive. I need to be patient I guess.
@TiagoRuivo There is now a yellow cruiser on Mp, and it is in Bruinisse, Zeeland.
😮
At least my feet stay dry 🚣

After 3 years, this inner tent held up pretty well. The floor remains waterproof, no issues with the fabric. Considering the price (€60!) it is a bargain. My brother has now bought the outer 15D too as replacement for the old Hubba Hubba HP outer tent as well. For less than €175 incl shipping (including the inner tent, poles, pegs etc) it seems a good deal as well.
Yo Minkh ! First off ......appologies if I've spelt your name wrong, but couldn't find it, despite looking ...a lot. I must say I enjoy your videos because they are different, not the usual camera in the face....I'm a super hero, type stuff, but just an enjoyable journey shared. I also like the music attached to them. Relaxing and tranquil, as touring should be, although I'm sure It's not all plain sailing. Oh well, I'll crack on with the up coming episodes , btw that's not the the old Wizard is it,?
Hi yo, my name is Minko 😀 thanks for your comments. It is indeed the old Wizard, 25 years old but still going strong 👍
Yep, I wasnt sure it was the same bike..........new suspension forks, front mech changer (you used to change gear by moving the chain tubes by hand?), slightly different blue? and the boom is black. @@thewizardofoh
Yes, I have changed a lot during the years. The front fork has been replaced in 2008 by a suspension fork with disk brake. The black front boom with front derailleur is from 2021. Only the blue frame and rear fork is from the original Wizard 😄

What app do you use for your maps. Seems quite interesting
I use Osmand on my smartphone, my brother Openfietsmap on his Garmin Etrex. And the maps in the video are made with the Relive app.
@@thewizardofoh lovely. Thanks for the info. Btw, you know where I can buy a used recumbent in Holland?
@@TiagoRuivo I would suggest marktplaats.nl search for ligfiets, there you can find great bargains. Or on the ligfets.net website. Are you looking for a specific model or brand?
@@thewizardofoh awesome tip. I've been searching for a while but so far no luck.
@@thewizardofoh Im just looking for something affordable. I'm Portuguese, and in Portugal there's no market or offer. And Im really tired of normal bikes as I suffer from hand pain and but and neck constantly.
Can you help me, where can I find original kickstand for my Challenge Wizard? Thank you.
I really don't know, that is why I have used this workaround
it looks like your bike is a faster climber, is that the case?
Hard to tell, I doubt it is faster, maybe the rider is a climber 🙂
Amazing work! Crazy after effects 😮
Yeah, credits to the guys from Insta360 who made this possible with their amazing app 👍
mooi tasje...
what is your 360 camera name?
Hi, I have the Insta360 One X2
Great cycling holiday Minko! And with a recumbent bike it is much more better! 😉
👍 Thanks!
mooie opnamen ,prachtige natuur !
Dank je Jan 👍
Hey Wizard of Oh, thank you so very much for using my music in your content! This song is a favorite of mine - it was actually used originally for an illustrator's demo video and was a lot of fun to write - but I also like what you did here with it :)
Thank you too Tim, I think your music suits the Norwegian landscapes very well!
Great list, I take something with me that you do not need: an extension cord with 3 socket. So I can charge both my E-bike batteries at the same time.
Beautiful bike tour! Thank you for sharing!
Grazie! 👍
Was precies afzien aan paradisbakkene nog geluk was bankje om even te rusten boven
Ha ha ja dat was eigenlijk de zwaarste klim van de hele tocht. 🤯
Another challenging tour in a beautiful country. Thanks for posting these videos.
Thanks Neal! 👍
mooi tochie , koud zeker daar boven...
Hoi Jan, ja is nu vast koud daar, maar in september was het prima fietsen daar 👍
leuk ,duimpje , groet Jan
Prachtig, net je vlogs ontdekt. Ik ga jullie de hele reis volgen. Mooi gefilmd en gemonteerd. Ik heb 15 jaar lang ligfiets gereden op verschillende ligfietsen, maar helaas mag dit niet meer van de orthopeed. Succes jongens.
Dank voor jouw reactie Willem!
Respect voor jullie prestatie
Dank!
👍👍👍👍
mooi , duimpje...
Beste heb en vraag welk plateau ge breuk je best voor berg op van je ligfiets op mijn ligfiets is maar van voor 1 plateau achter 8 Vitesse
Ik heb voor 3 bladen (42-34-24) achter 11-32 cassette (9 speed), 1x8 is veel te weinig voor bergop!
Bedank nu weet ik hoe moet mijn fiets verbeteren
mooi , duimpje
leuk , veel plezier...
Dank je Jan! 👍
Norway, such a great place to cycle. The drivers are so well mannered and traffic slow. And so many off road routes. Did a short trip this summer on gravel bike, just north of Lofoten. Almost took recumbent…but those hills!
Yes, the drivers were very respectful to cyclists. What kind of recumbent do you ride?
hello~The. Like it,this is epic recording~ =))
Thanks 👍
You missed Reiårsfossen/Ose, you was riding in the other side of the Fjord.
Yes, I remember I saw that one from the other side. I don't have any footage of it, so much to see there! 👍
@@thewizardofoh Entire Setesdal in real Viking Land full of old Viking Graves.
Found a photo 😏ridewithgps.com/trips/135525506#photos/14525033
ua-cam.com/video/_CgzgZwbxwc/v-deo.htmlsi=NuLES1kOCvmbSSJK&t=326 I have recorded the waterfall but it didnt made it in my final video, but on my brothers channel you can see it.
Thank you for taking the time to subtitle these videos.
No problem! 👍
nice view 🙂
mooie beelden.
Beste vind goed idee voor het plateau vietes verander ik heb maar 1 plateau nu ga ik die verander naar 3 plateau
It doesn't work on my RN8Pro. Unless you have the Open Camera app. But I don't like the App coz it ruins the quality of my vid.
Any plans for a 2023 tour?
No plans yet
Amazing video! Both of you are incredible for doing such a ride.
I'm glad you found it I lost my insta360 X3 about a week now 😢
Me encanta! Me pone felíz oirlos!
Dat M5 heeft en stalen frame, correct? Mooie video. Groeten uit Duitsland
Danke, ja stalen frame (CrMo)
topzwaar als je te veel gewicht erin doet lijkt me.
Dat zal ik ook niet doen, maar voor extra boodschappen bv als ik naar de camping fietst lijkt me dat wel fijn.
@@thewizardofoh idd, en het zit niet in de weg
@@abenederlof en ook niet onbelangrijk, zo'n groot rood vlak valt hopelijk beter op in het verkeer
Wij vinden ze ideaal voor tijdens de ligfietsvakanties, bij vertrek vrijwel leeg, alleen een paar dingen die je onderweg makkelijk wilt kunnen pakken, en na bezoek aan de supermarkt passen er verrassend veel boodschappen in. Je vind dingen veel makkelijker dan in een standaardfietstas, en het geeft je plek voor 2 bidonnen.
A mooie fiets. Ik wil in deze jaar an M5 kopen. dat is een leuk video.
Danke schön!👍 Auf marktplaats.nl gibt es viele schöne M5 für gute Preise. Oder möchtest du ein Challenge suchen mit Unterlenker, dieser Cirrus von einem Freund ist noch verfügbar für wenig: ua-cam.com/video/CptjijhUeCc/v-deo.html
Wat een mooie omgeving.
Great video Minko! Since 2002 I'm riding on a Challenge Wizard too: a great recumbent bike for tourism!
Thanks! I see you have a red Wizard, cool!👍
@@thewizardofoh Yeah! I own a Wizard bike and an Alizè trike: Challenge was a great brand!
@alpeadriabike We plan another trip from Salzburg. This time more south and maybe cross your region. 🚵
Er zitten daar toch zoveel ooievaars he! Toen ik er een video ging maken ook...
