Bikes and equipment

Bikes

Paul built both bikes, which I think are kind of the same. He has been in the process of trying out and change parts since he started building them, and if I know him well the process will never end :) However, so far we have:

	Dharma	Hayduke
Frame	Planet X On-one Inbred (blue)	Planet X On-one Inbred (orange)
Fork	Surly ECR	Surly Krampus
Handlebars	Salsa Cowbell	Salsa Cowbell
Headset	FSA Orbit	FSA Orbit
Cables	Shimano SIS	Shimano SIS
Seat post	On-One Twelfty MTB	On-One Twelfty MTB
Bottom bracket	Hope Stainless Steel	Shimano XTR
Hubs	Shimano m525	Shimano m525
Rims	Stans ZTR 29er	Stans ZTR 29er
Tyres (tubless)	Schwalbe marathon mondial	Schwalbe marathon mondial
Shifters	Shimano Dura Ace 10 speed	Shimano Dura Ace 10 speed
Derailleurs	Shimano Deore	Shimano Deore
Cassette	Shimano Tiagra 1230	Shimano Tiagra 1230
Chain	Shimano Tiagra 10 speed	Shimano Tiagra 10 speed
Breaks	Avid BB7	Avid BB7
Break levers	Tektro R0520	Tektro R0520
Saddle	WTB Rocket V	Brooks cambium carved
Mudguards	Velo Cross	Velo Cross
Rack	Tubus disco	Tubus disco

We tested them on paved and unpaved roads, during short and long rides, and they really feel comfortable and strong. The tubeless tyres seems to be working great, finger crossed they will survive the flight and the trip.

After some failed attempts and a collection of 5 boxes, bikes are packed!
