I want to ride to Lhasa and plan to take the Sichuan-Tibet line. I need a Giant ATX670. Can the expert from Camelback give me some advice? Is there anything else I need to prepare for Tibet?

You can choose an entry-level mountain bike, Giant 670 or Merida 550 (it’s so good, you can’t repair it if it breaks. Many brothers with disc brakes on the road end up pushing the bike down the mountain. Entry-level bikes, You can choose to sell it in Lhasa and feel relaxed), but the key is perseverance. You can go hiking in the nearby mountains on weekends or experience it on a long ride. It took me 21 days to cycle in Sichuan and Tibet. The road book basically said it was 22 to 25 days (the best guide is Boer's Guide to Sichuan and Tibet, you can bring a copy with you when you set off). Counting your rest, it should be Within 28 days. You can prepare some outdoor equipment, such as quick-drying long-sleeved clothes (quick-drying clothes can better cope with the humid and changeable climate of Sichuan and Tibet. You don’t have to wear trying clothes on the road the next day, and long sleeves can protect you from the sun. It's better than cycling clothes. The sunscreen in Tibet is not effective at all. The best thing is to wrap yourself up, don't worry about the heat, Tibet's summer is very cool), wading shoes, police raincoat. Poncho and disposable raincoat (it turns you into a big kite), fleece gloves, fleece clothing, fleece sleeping bag (small, but quite warm, and in case you have to sleep in a dirty roadhouse or diner sofa, this can help you solve the hygiene problem), bring a few pairs of quick-drying socks (dry and warm feet can make you feel very comfortable, be sure to wrap them in plastic bags for waterproofing), snow gloves, and latex gloves for laundry ( Very useful. In the weather in Tibet, your ski gloves are expensive and cumbersome. They are useless. The fleece is not waterproof and it is very cold, but wearing large latex gloves outside can solve many problems.) Small multi-slot plug (travel) The kind you use, useful on the road and train), a flashlight for riding (the tunnels along the way, the ground is bumpy, I recommend the copycat c8 t6 strong light flashlight) and a medical bag, bring anything you think is useful, nothing else Bring them all, you will regret it when climbing the 4000m mountain. There is basically no need for tents or anything like that, and there are accommodations for cyclists along the way. There are basically them in other road books. You can read the travel notes of other cyclists. It’s best to find a companion. If not, go to Chengdu which is basically the base camp of Sichuan and Tibet. When the season comes, we are all cyclists’ friends, so we go on the road together. , safer. The above little things are not expensive, but they are all things that are easily overlooked.
