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.  Â
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.Â
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!!
