Photo Story: Exploring Ladakh In High Altitude Roaming
I wear Shimano SH-XM900 with clips for bikepacking... have not been to a location nearly this exotic though! I find the SH-XM900s extremely comfy for hike-a-bike. They are my go-to shoulder season biking shoe as well. The only thing to keep in mind is the sole is quite soft so they are grippy but not super durable.

How to Choose the Right Size Mountain Bike in 2023
Not to take away from your experience, but I felt there were just a few concepts in his book that I paid $40 CAD for and then it directs you to his website where you get 1 month free and then pay $20 per month thereafter. The book is large print and full of filler. In case you were planning to buy the book... maybe just get one month access to the website and be done with it?

Great idea to use the old cut tubes as the mold to piece them back together. I'd be really interested to see what you used for a jig. Cheers
