>>910751>>910598>Don't overload the fork. At 8-10 kilos up front, my discbrake starts rubbing when I turn because torsion. What? Sounds like your hub is a bit loosely tightened. I frontload almost entirely as you can see in the above pic with no problems. Had 18kg packed on there at several times. I also don't see how torsion would cause this? There's nothing twisting at all.
>Watch some GCN videos about elementary technique, maintenance and repair.As I said before you really need to be sure you know how to fix all these things. Disassemble your bike and reassemble it once at the very least.
>>910605>Stand up occasionally to allow bloodflow in your gooch even if it doesn't feel weird. Can't be too sure when it comes to impotence.If you feel pressure on the area between your balls and asshole your bike isn't properly fitted or you need another saddle. 100% of the weight should be on your ass bones. Impotence has to do with pressure on that area (perineum?). Regardless, you're right about standing up occasionally is very important for blood flow and stretching/using different muscles.
I'd recommend doing some shorter tours, maybe week long or so to get a feel for it before setting out on a super long one.
