Ortlieb Quick Rack thru axle and UDH bolt

I bought a new bike and was using a quick rack on my previous. I want to use the same quick rack on this new bike but the UDH bolt blocks passage of the axle. Has anyone came across this before and had a simple fix?

Ortlieb Quick Rack and Newboler Cages

I used Josh Meissner’s advice from Bikepacking.com and attached cages to my quick rack L using the QL3.1 clamps that come with the rack. They act as the perfect mounting points, both sturdy and easily adjustable. I used M5x40mm bolts but could’ve easily gone with 30/35mm. Pretty lightweight option at 910g!

Seat post snapped

Slight problem. I pulled out the seatpost from one of my old bikes and realised it is snapped in two. Any ideas on how to remove the remaining section of seatpost that’s stuck on the frame?

Eksplosion omkring Blågardsgade-området?

Jeg blev lige vækket af noget, der lød som en slags eksplosion, ikke et fyrværkeri. Lagde nogen mærke til det?

Route discussion - Ljubljana to Tirana on gravel bikes over August 2026

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are planning to bikepack from Ljubljana to Tirana over the month of August. We have our flights to Ljubljana and from Tirana booked so it’s happening.

We have planned a route that I have linked below. Our plan is to avoid the summer traffic, and stick to a mix of trails that we have been researching. We will camp as much as possible, but will need access to food and water along the way. We’ll recharge in bigger towns where possible.

The route is built from the following:

  1. Ljubljana to Trieste- Slovenia West Loop and Carso Trail
  2. Trieste to Rijeka - Dinaric Alps Trail
  3. Rijeka to North of Zadar - Eurovelo 8
  4. Getting to Mostar seems tricky from here, any tips are welcome.
  5. Mostar to Trebinje - Ciro Trail
  6. Trebinje to Podgorica to Tirana - Struggling to plan.

If you could share any routes or suggestions for points 4 and 6 it would be really helpful. If anyone has experience in these areas regarding camping, access to food and water, and general knowledge to the entire route it would also be super helpful!!

I have a specialized diverge carbon that appears to have some tire rubbing/friction. I bought it second hand and did not realise the scratches until I was doing some other repairs. How bad is this?
