I am just back form a rough two month trip in South East Asia on the wonderful Koga WT S. Please check after a few hundred kilometers the bolts in the innerside of your fork of the Tubus Duo carrier rack (and also check the others as well and perhaps use Loctite). And of course tighten your spokes after 500 km's. The bike will be OK on your trip, but Allee I hope you are OK with the Patagonian winds:-) Have a save trip!

Looking good! I'll definitely be following your trip! One thing I'd mention though, is an issue I've had with using the oversized bottle cages on an aluminium Koga. I had a similar cage (Topeak) on my WorldTraveller29, with a 1 litre fuel bottle in it, and had cracks develop around the cage bosses when my loaded bike fell over. The downtube itself had twisted slightly due to the weight and leverage of the larger bottle, and I could bend it back into place by hand. This happened in the first week of a 3.5 month tour, so I was pretty bummed out about it. A local bike shop said it was probably okay to ride, as long as I removed the weight off the cage and kept an eye on the bosses, and I had no further issues during the trip. Got a replacement frame from Koga once i returned home, so no issues with warranty. Just something to keep in mind with these thin, butted aluminium tubes.

Love the bike. Especially the Crazy George bars. I love the tech but would worry about the possibility of finding replacement parts if anything does fail. I’m absolutely sure all the components are super reliable and will see you through the whole trip but I’d imagine it’d be far easier to locate a square taper BB and a set of brake blocks in darkest Peru! Good luck, I’ll be following your trip.

Having toured on a normal diamond frame bike for several years before getting a recumbent , I think I would have gone further with less pains had I gotten a recumbent sooner. No pains except tired leg muscles and speed is comparable . However the main thing to remember on a tour is to look and see what is around you, not race by it in a blur , if that means you do a 36 km ride in a day , who cares you are seeing what most of us never will. have a good time and lets hope your travels are uneventful.

@brucewmclaughlin9072
@brucewmclaughlin9072 6 жыл бұрын
Roy N. when I coast down a hill I pass normal bikes as I have less wind resistance. My legs are not hanging down like the riders on normal bikes , my legs are almost horizontal to the ground . Tour de France is governed by the rules of UCI which state what a bicycle is or is not. According to the UCI a recumbent or for that matter a tandem upright is not a bicycle and therefore is ineligible to compete. The race is supposed to be between riders not a race between technologies. BTW if you review the history of the UCI you will find way back in 1934 that there were competitions between recumbents and normal bikes but the bicycle manufacturers could not compete with the speed that a recumbent can attain on flat or downhill runs , so if you can not beat them , ban them and your bicycle company loses that competition to sales. Recumbents have come a long way since being banned from racing but they are not mass produced like Giant , Specialized, Trek, or Norco. Less than 1% of bikes in the US of A, are recumbents. If you want speed get a recumbent , if you want comfort and speed get a recumbent, if you want comfort , speed , and no more pains on long rides get a recumbent. If you don't have pains when riding and you can't handle peer pressure stick with the normal bike.
@TheGreatOldOak

Because recumbents are superior to diamond frame bicycles so they banned them.
@brucewmclaughlin9072
@brucewmclaughlin9072 6 жыл бұрын
Well my touring recumbent does not jump roots and logs , nor does it climb hills with great speed, nor does it do single track trails , so I leave that to the bikes that are designed for that purpose. However you are correct , at the time they were banned they were considered to be a threat to the diamond frame bikes as they presented a race between designs rather than a race between individuals . An unfair advantage that I enjoy is less wind resistance, but I am not competitive and if you get to the top of the hill first , I will still be enjoying the scenery on the way up.

Took the Shimanami Kaido trail in Shikoku-Honshu and it blew me away. When I came back to Argentina I found your videos riding Hokkaido. Just floored by everything: the place, the riding. It just hits me in a very inspirational way. Thanks for that! If you stop by Buenos Aires and are up for some coffee and chat, just lemme know. Cheers Manuel

You can only buy it online on the KOGA website. KOGA ships their bikes worldwide, so if you order a bike outside the EU you’ll save 21% on VAT. However, once you factor in the shipping and landing costs it’ll likely end up in the same ballpark in US dollars, more or less. It’s also worth noting that KOGA covers 50% of the shipping costs of their bikes, so shipping to your country may not be as expensive as you think! signature.koga.com/#/1/en/gb/conf/1

Hi, I wonder what your length is because I saw you in other video's riding quite a small frame with large seatpost. I am 1.87m and also went to Koga in The Netherlands and thought that 57cm would be the one (that was also the one that came out of the configurator). But when I rode the 60cm it was just better. It leaves about 8cm seatpost but it just looks better.
@Cyclingabout
@Cyclingabout 6 жыл бұрын
The 60cm frame will likely be the best size for you. I'm 10cm taller than you, but I prefer a more 'aggressive' fit, so that's why I sized down. 👍🏻

Apparently Koga were of little help trying to conceal this problem they allegedly know about. So now he is having his bike converted to chain drive for piece of mind. facebook.com/StephenPeelAdventureTravel/?hc_ref=ARR6_w7OrKFQeWMJp1dDSv7GtweyEICiN1FPWvBh9ERbzPG48b4Fq1LMBo0pe5FtwME&fref=nf

The KOGA Denham Bar that I designed is available in the configurator! From what I last heard, COVID-19 is not affecting the bike production, so it's just 6-weeks from placing the order to having a custom bike to ride in Norway. 😎

Great bike. My only concern is the hydraulic brakes. Most touring bikes producers install mechanical disc brakes due to easy repair and maintenance any biker can do. I hope they won't break in the wilderness. Good luck and hope to see the updates from your epic tour.

Craig Warren I wanted to start at the end of the year, which was too cold for me in Alaska! The headwinds were tough in Patagonia, but by the time you get to the Carretera Austral, the wind blows equally in all directions. 👍🏼

New touring bike aluminium is perfect but in lon run aluminium is loosing ,shape and riding properties unlike good quality chromoly . So if you want to enjoy many years a touring bike buy good chromoly and first af all very good wheels ( more important than frame ) . That with welding in any village is just legend
@Cyclingabout
@Cyclingabout 5 жыл бұрын
This information is incorrect. Aluminium does NOT lose shape or riding properties over time. Aluminium touring bikes are engineered to be literally three or more times stronger than steel bikes so that they aren't affected by fatigue, easily withstanding the repeated loads and stresses of bicycle touring for as long as you use the bike. A well-designed frame of any material won’t be affected by touring stresses - steel, titanium, carbon or aluminium. I've written very extensively about frame materials on my website: www.cyclingabout.com/frame-materials-for-bicycle-touring-aluminium-vs-steel-vs-titanium/

Re. The wheel building - i dare to disagree. Handbuilt wheels - and i mean hand tensioned and trued by a wheelbuilder - are in 9 cases out of 10 better than most machine built wheels.
@Cyclingabout
@Cyclingabout 4 жыл бұрын
It depends. A machine-built wheel can be tensioned in 30 seconds or up to five minutes. By giving the machine more time, you can increase the accuracy of the build hugely. If you've had problems with machine-built wheels in the past, I'd say the wheel was built by the machine in seconds. KOGA isn't pumping out huge volumes of wheels, so they can afford to run their machines much longer than most manufacturers.
