I cycled more than 12,000 kilometers on my cycling the world journey thus far. I went through many kinds of terrains such as freezing cold mountain areas but also dry and burning hot deserts and I only had to make minimal adjustments to my equipment. Thus I’m pretty happy with it. It covers most circumstances. So I hope this list helps you a little bit in preparation of your own trip(s) or gives you an idea to try something new/different on your own current journey.
Feel free to send me a message if you’ve further questions.
