As I am about to venture into territories with less availability of high-quality bike parts (hello, Iran and *stans) Tbilisi was my last chance of getting some much-needed spares of everything (and also some lesser needed “I just want to have this” items)
Luckily enough my brother took a big suitcase on his trip to Tbilisi and was kind enough to fill it to the brim with much-needed (or less needed and much desired) electronics, bike parts and other equipment.
Here’s What I got!
Electronics
-
Anker PowerPort Solar panel charger (21W)
Hoping for a lot of sun in the next few months! -
Canon EOS 100D
I weighed the pros/and cons for a while, but in the end I just wanted a “real” camera. It’s a compromise but at least taking photos is someWhat fun again! -
Anker Soundcore Mini (USB rechargable)
I hardly used my previous cable-based speaker because it was very unpractical to use while cycling. -
SD card, USB key…
Because you can never have enough of those
