This is not intended to be a showcase of achievements, but rather to provide interested parties with guidance for possible plans:
Total distance by bike: 1692km
In addition: about 140km by train
Elevation gain: 16372m (much more than planned)
Highest point: 1175m above sea level
Travel time: tbd.
Days of travel: 21
The concept of a short route with relatively high altitudes works because although you ride slowly at times (naturally), you make effective progress in the end.
The navigation device is a great help, especially in the city, and is preferable to a smartphone due to its ease of use and good readability. The combination of the Garmin edge explore and planning with Komoot is excellent.
Charging the 10000mAh power bank with Busch + Müller E-Werk or USB-Werk works perfectly. However, you need 2 power banks because Garmin does not charge while riding if the power bank is also being charged.
About the bicycle technology:
Patria Touros custom-made with Rohloff and Matura HS33
Rose Multisport with XT and Matura HS33
Magura HS33 also brakes the heaviest load downhill safely.
Rohloff can be shifted more quickly and, as a hub gear, is not sensitive to contamination - without maintenance, every derailleur gear system eventually starts to have problems, which of course also applies to Deore XT.
Number of teeth on the Rohloff chain: 42/16 - okay, below speeds of <6km/h it becomes tricky (base: 28 inch)
Number of teeth on Deore XT front: 44/....
Rear: tbd.
