Shopping Bike Stuff Abroad - DHL Deliveries in Europe

When travelling for races, I can't take as much spares and things I might potentially need with me - especially with flights.
For this reason I foresee the needs and order those things upfront into rented apartments. This saves time and troublesome looking for things in local shops.
In this video I cover two packages receiving from R2bike and Duke's wheels aka www.jpracingbike1.com/en/.

The guy working at the first pick up spot is really nice. Gave great restaurant recommendations each time I ordered bike parts there 😅

[@tom10crafted]

Haha, nice! He seemed very kind indeed!! 🫶🏻 the thing is that pickup points in south are bit different than I am used to in baltics region, haha!

TOP TOP! God damnn I wish had possibility to get a set of Duke wheels :O

[@tom10crafted]

That was really unexpected that they offered warranty vs crash replacement option for the broken rim. One thing I forgot to mention - I received a rim in a week timeframe from case approval. ONE WEEK TURNAROUND! Ok, it was France to Spain delivery, but that was still amazing work made.

Nice legs! I mean wheels. Nice wheels!

[@tom10crafted]

They are, both, haha! Thanks, A!

Just get the DT Swiss XRC 1200 wheelset and you are set for very long time. Tested by me then sold them to my friend who is 110kg. They never go out of true and they are rock solid. also very light 1450g for pair

[@tom10crafted]

Well, that might be an option at the point where I look for something else. I very much doubt that there are bulletproof wheels - and considering places I have been there is unlikely high chances of others surviving it better - well unless its AM type of heavier sets
