You're more likely to take far too much than too little. Make sure you've got puncture repair stuff and at least some tools. Cable ties. Big strip of gaffer tape, you can wrap it round an old credit card to save space. Some M5 screws so you can fix your rack.

You're not going into space so anything that you do forget and really need you can still get.

One of those, with a shorter seat binder bolt hanger than the one you had just now?

It won't look good or work very well but this is the bodge thread.

Do you want to swap houses? You'd like mine I'm sure.

It’s has a championship flag

It snaps on tighter than the Shimano one, or at least mine does.

Tbh I use it for the map not for the route planning. Also for finding campsites and hotels at the end of the day (configure map->POI overlay. Also useful for other things like water sources, as skinny says).

You can get the parts off ebay for pennies, it's worth it. The only reason I ever stopped using my garmin 800 is it was a pain in the hole having to plug it in to get activity files off it to upload.

Will try and squeeze in some 28s

Pffft. Doubt they'll fit between the chainstays

What, a free Rourke?

Garmin 1000 with openfietsmap.nl maps on which have cycle paths marked, OsmAnd on the phone for when I want a bigger overview (get it off fdroid for the full version without in-app purchases, download all the relevant maps before you go, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/ ), plus a vague idea of the direction I'm going in so I can use the local street signs. French cycle route signs are green and white like this: https://en.francevelotourisme.com/tips-and-advices/signposting-and-marking-of-cycle-routes-in-france

What brake pads should I use? I have these and they're fine in the dry but in the wet they're shite, they make a noise but don't slow me down.

Twitchy even with weight in the bags?

I don't know if it makes a difference but I like the weight down as low as I can get it at the front, using a stylish combo of a Nitto M1 and a Tubus Tara

I had a pair of those and perhaps I don't have ergonomic hands but they didn't last as long as I hoped because the cork bits crumbled.

Frame bag, two racks, lots of bags. Now expecting updates from many exotic locations.

See if any local bike shops in the area have anything, or know of anything?

There's only 7 on the top row, this must be bulldog royalty.

And don't forget to order your bread rolls for the morning.

I've used my cooker a few times to justify carrying it around but to be honest I prefer campsites with beer gardens and restaurants so I can just relax once I've finished riding. Or hotels.

Currently enjoying Assos mille GT which seem to be well under £100 on wiggle at the moment

You should charge your phone.

I feel especially dirty because I zoomed in on the hole trying to read the brand name

If they're the big chunky ones like these I recently bought a set of kool-stop salmons on ebay.
