Had some crazy descents, at some point I was going 70+ kmph, fully loaded. A bit later my 2 silicon bottles got stuck between the tire. I was still going decently fast 30 – 40kmph, but could stop safely, if this had happened at 70+kmph the story would be different.
Sorry but the added video is not the moment it happened, don’t know what the speed is in the video but it’s pretty high.
And yes I can’t help myself strapping shit on the back, the longer I tour, the more of a mess it becomes. Not much of a problem strolling at 15 – 20kmph, but if you’re going 50+ makes sure everything is nice and tight!!
