This is something that I have wanted to do since getting a bike. I will have all the equipment soon and my bike is ready to go. http://i.imgur.com/VKKcx0s.jpg . My question is looking at my bike is there anything you recommend? what was the gear ratio you were working with on this trip? How many spokes do you think are necessary to support weight? I'm assuming i could increase tire size.

I think it is amazing what you did and even better that you righted yourself

Thanks for the amazing response and input! No third brazon unfortunately but I suppose I could do seat mounted or like a velcro cage.

Just two chain rings up front. I suppose I'm strong (I don't use a car just ride everywhere) but I was considering a granny gear when hitting the road. I will look into purchasing a new crankset. I think I might be at 34 spokes . I'm. Ok sure of my loaf on the bike but it stated 360 pounds. What was your final load weight. I think not having enough spokes is what worries me the most. I'll look into wheel options. Was thinking if anything fatter tires might make up for it but then I'd potentially lose speed.

I will definitely shout out to you when I take a trip. Thanks so much and safe travels
