A bottle cage of my bike has got broken (Topeak's). It's been convenient to carry a pet bottle. (A bottle gets dirty soon in a dusty road, then I can just change to a new one.) It had got a crack in Seoul already. I fixed the part with bond but now all the other welded part has fallen apart. I didn't use it in Japan, so it's broken in 2500km. Fragile.
Were it made of alminium instead of steel, I could have asked for repair to a welder. I've seen many of them in repair shops along the route.
I tried to fix it with a wire that I had. It's ended up a tipcal haywire. I must do it again.
Everything I have has got damp because of the rain the day before yesterday. The bags are good water proof, but things inside still got dump while I open and close the lids. Clothes I washed, or my tent, were still dump too. The weather has become fine after two days. I spent whole morning to dry everything in a field. Another relaxed day I'm having.
