"As soon as I received my X-Treck V2 trolley, I tried it out around the house. After trying out different ways of hanging it up, I decided to use a sports banana, which also meant I could keep my water bottle and phone close at hand. I took it out for the first time in mid-August from Mont Gerbier de Jonc to follow the GR3 and then the gorges of the Loire.

​And I was really impressed, it followed me faithfully all the way, even though I honestly should have worn it on some of the rougher sections, but it held up and my ride was a real pleasure. It was also practical for the return journey by train, as I left the wheels mounted.
