Great photos, thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see other folk’s Nomads, fully loaded. I do like that Alpkit bag on the seat tube. Which tyres are you using and at what pressures?

Thanks, Marathon Supreme  26x2" 4-4.5 bars
3.8 bars it feel more confortable loaded...

I found the 26x2" acted like a brake when I stopped peddling!
Great for my Pamir Highway trip - no issues at all.
In fact there is still plenty of tread left on them and I have listed them for sale here.
Horses for courses I guess.
All my other tours have been on 1.25 or 1.75
Schwalbe Marathons. Only one puncture in Morocco. Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Thailand twice - all good.

But interested in others thoughts.

https://www.alltricks.fr/F-11936-pneus-vtt/P-3227106-pneu_vtt_michelin_pilot_pump_competition_line_26___tubeless_ready_souple

or the slick Pilot Pump in 26x2.30  675gr

https://www.alltricks.fr/F-11936-pneus-vtt/P-1402278-pneu_vtt_dirt_michelin_pilot_pump_26___tubeless_ready_souple

It is recommended for MTB only, but i don’t know if touring bike are accepted.. ?

Do you think 26x2.30 tires are ok wirh the Nomad MK2 ?

Transmission / Re: Replace chain
« Last post by jul on July 15, 2026, 05:55:35 PM »
I'm not sure to understand Martin  ;)

So it's not possible to have a simple answer..

Usually, during my trip with my Nomad, i replace my chain every 5000 kms approxymately, to be honest at thiat moment the chain is always dead.
I return my Rohloff sprocket around 10000 kms.
And, i've never replaced my Surly chaingring (30.000kms)
