Travelling in 2024: Ukraine: Going to continue with business preparations and buying a house

In 2024 I'm taking more stuff with me for the bicycle that I bought in 2023 in Chernivtsi which is now in storage in Kiev.

I'm taking:

• Pinion tool from Cyclus
• Strap wrench also for the Pinion to take off the belt ring (to check if the bolts keeping the P1.18 to the frame are not loose, which could explain some of the creaking I had with the bike)
• Pinion service kit
• Extra oil for the Pinion -> I will take that next time
• Saddle bag
• M-wave bike-packing bag for on the handle bar
• titanium bottle cage to try out long term + some Elite water bottles 1 Elite 1 litre water bottle
• Brooks B17 leather saddle (unsprung, 17 cm wide)
• Brooks B67 leather saddle (with springs, 21 cm wide)
• Seatpost with 0 set back (the Stevens P18 has a seat post with set back of about 15mm but I prefer 0 set back on all my bikes) + a set forward seat post that I used long ago on my cross/road bike.
• 2x sprung seat posts: Suntour NCX and Cane creek Thudbuster ST
• Shorter stem than on the Stevens P18 (90mm with 35 ° angle, with mount for a light
• Igaro C1 front dynamo light with USB output
• Supernova M99 dynamo light
• Grips: Ergotec Kyoto (cork) + Contec leather grips, both with the right hand hand side grip shortened to 95 mm for use with a twist shifter (Pinion) (these grips are only available in 130mm+130mm)
• phone mounts: 1 from rubber that I will use to mount a powerbank on the bike + a fake quadlock mount with vibration dampener
• Various bits and bobs such as stainless steel bolts/nuts of various sizes, threadlocker, anti-seize
• Possibly also my Crosso panniers -> I took 1 with me, the one to be mounted on the left (above the kickstand)

A lot of stuff again, and there is more but the above is the most important of what I'm taking.
