You really can't set off on a around the world tour and expect nothing to break down, go amiss or get damaged at on point.
We have had our fair share of things from a broken spork to bent rips. So here is a list of things that we have damaged or lost or ...
Scratch, paint work, and dent, down, tube on Peli's bike. Found when putting the bikes together after the flights to Ushuaia.
At least three holes in two panniers from being dragged around the airports by us and air port staff.
Two plastic sporks snapped while eating porridge and nuttela.
Five spokes on my rear wheel.
Four sneaky puntures, not real ones more slow ones. Again on my bike on front and rear.
Front fork as you know gave up its ghost when I was sent through the cement mixer. At the same time my Brooks B17 got beating too and was bent which caused back pain when we got back in the saddles. My brand new nortface hyvent died too that day along with a new hole in on of our kitchen panniers.
