- I just looked at your album with expedition through the Himalayas .... did you know the Serbian language
SaturdayBrian Perich- Hi Dragan,
I don't speak the Serbian language, but my father speaks fluently (with my Baba who passed away this year, 100 years, 86 years in Canada, she came from Romania. My grandfather came from Bosnia, in 1910, he was born in 1887. Both moved to Canada.
Thanks for visiting my album, I will translate into Serbian next time!
Brian (:
SaturdayDragan Babović- Walks of life we Serbs are strange.
My son went to LA and his children will not know the Serbian language, maybe save name, who knows!
SaturdayDragan Babović- Your bike is unusual.
Few people use bicycles for travel with buffer.

Драган, ценим вашу подршку поруку и комплимената на мом бициклизам рутина, експедиција је била проширење краће вожње сам урадио више од мог живота. Време је да вози велики, тако да сам воз за сада. Возим планински бициклизам за обилазак, јер искрено, ово комплетан мотор је $ 400 долара и све што сам могао приуштити у 2009. Ја заменио све компоненте, рециклажа делова од скупље 2008 Гари Фисхер ХиФи Делуке Купио сам користи, сам се вратио заједно Гари Фисхер, и продао га, дајући новац назад са мојом женом. Тешко да потроше новац, ја сам живи на малом приход у Кореји, већина зараде иде да нахрани породицу, плаћају комуналне услуге, а у суштини живимо. Ја ћу возити истом кадру са различитим компонентама (исти 2008 Фокс, РЛ 120мм виљушком и Бонтрагер дршку), све Схимано овај пут. Користио сам СРАМ Кс7 Померачи и Кс9 позади дераиллер на ХималаиасКс2011 експедиције и Авид Јуици пет хидрауличне кочнице, то је све промењено у Схимано СЛКС цранксет, СХИМАНО ДУРА-АЦЕ 9-степеним ланац, Схимано ЛКС задњи дераиллер (рециклирани) и Схимано Деоре ЛКС напред дераиллер и Дуал-Деоре ЛКС Аутоматско освежавање Померачи и сајла кочнице постављене на Авид Лб7 планину
Dragan, I appreciate your supportive message and compliments on my cycling routine, the expedition was an extension to the shorter rides I have done over my lifetime. It's time to ride big, so I train for it now. I ride the mountain bike for touring, because honestly, this complete bike was $400 dollars and all I could afford in 2009. I replaced all the components, recycling parts from a more expensive 2008 Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe I bought used, I returned the Gary Fisher together, and sold it, giving the money back to my wife. It's difficult to spend money, I am living on a small income in Korea, most of the earnings go to feed the family, pay the utilities, and basically live. I will ride the same frame with different components (same 2008 Fox RL 120mm fork and Bontrager handlebar), all Shimano this time. I used SRAM X7 shifters and X9 rear derailler on the HimalayasX2011 expedition and Avid Juicy Five hydraulic brakes, that is all changed to Shimano SLX crankset, Shimano Dura-Ace 9-speed chain, Shimano LX rear derailler (recycled) and Shimano Deore LX front derailler and Dual-Deore LX rapid fire shifters and cable brake lined to Avid BB7 mountain bike calipers, fairly bomb-proof bike for bicycle touring and capable off-road, and in expedition situations of long distance and terrible roads, which are fun, because it makes the journey that much more exciting and challenging.
about an hour agoDragan Babović- Excellent job you did.
For bicycle travel should be easy and very good quality.
Commemorate the components that may be of importance but there are other things that are important.
For such a difficult journey it is very important rear wheel, he suffers the most impact and weight.
For me, the more important types of rear wheel gear boxes.
about an hour agoDragan Babović- Yes, life is an uphill battle, full of uncertainty.
make money is an uphill battle.
spend the money is an uphill battle.
decide to spend what is an uphill battle.
I know it well, I have three children ......
Greetings from sunny Belgrade
Dragan
2 minutes agoBrian Perich- Oh wow...I read your words, this is my life too!!!!! I have two children and a lovely Korean wife that controls all the money, I usually have little to spend, but I made exceptions to prepare for expeditions.
Yes, the rear wheel is VERY IMPORTANT..I cracked my Bontrager Race Disk from high altitude pressure changes, road pounding/damage, but the wheel stayed straight with some alignment (twice on the trip), the wheel had an internal crack 360 degrees for the rest of my journey.
I ordered a used DOWNHILL wheel for replacement of the Bontrager, and have a Mavic in the front. I will take a photo, the wheel has not arrived yet in Korea, everything takes months to get here for me.
Tough, tough, tough. My life is a reflection of the difficulties endured for PLEASURE on the expedition this year. Very tough, just try to enjoy what moments I actually can, forget the rest of the challenges!
(: Cheers, great message, I really appreciate it!
