Johannes Simmet

Age: 22

Cap number: 302

Location: Bavaria, Germany

Bike: I will ride the Transpyrenees on my Cube Litening Aero. My gearing choice (which I will probably regret) is 50/37 in the front and 10–36 in the back. I’ll be using Continental GP 5000 S TR tires in a width of 32 mm. Everything else is stock, except for the handlebar (Ballugoe 360–380 mm from AliExpress) and the stem (Deda Superbox 100 mm), which I changed to get a narrower grip and the possibility to mount aero bars.

Key items of kit: My lighting setup includes a Lezyne front light, two Decathlon rear lights, and a Lupine helmet light for extra visibility. Navigation is handled by a Coros Dura, chosen for its insanely long battery life.
