20,000 km Budget Touring Bike Review // Cycling Around the World

UPDATE: As of December 2023 we have done over 35,000 km on these bikes!
Our most recent bike review:    • 2 Years & 30,000 km - Budget Touring ...  


We have spent the last 16 months cycling 20,000 km on our second-hand bikes, half way around the world, and thought now is a great time for another bike review. As a follow up to our 3,000 km and 10,000 km bike reviews, in this one we take an in-depth look at how our bikes & components are holding up after almost 1.5 years of hard use on tough roads...
