Hi Rob! Thanks for the interest. I have hunted around and found the Magura documents I have. I have sent you an email with them as attachments.

I have not been updating the web site much but still touring!

I have a pair of durin tours that I want to service however manuals seems none existent. In your post you make reference to a service manual, do you by chance still have a copy of this? Thanks, Rob

Hi Ken Thanks for your comment. As you can see my web site is not updated often and I am considering ending the hosting service as costs continue to rise. I have been thinking about a trip in South America for some time but travel restrictions in the last few years had put things on hold. Hopefully soon. Anyway, the trip to Istanbul was fantastic. Sounds like you have had a few good trips yourself! I did not find the prospect of Istanbul as daunting as I put my mind into a stage by stage mode. Initially aiming for Basel then Milan, then etc. Mentally splitting the trip up made the idea very easy to deal with. After all its eat, sleep, cycle and repeat! I would just follow the EuroVelo routes as I did. I find GPS tracks from someone else never works and removes some of the adventure. I don’t think I can give much more advice as you have already done some big tours so you know the game! Enjoy your trip!

You can imagine how delighted I was to find your site.
This year I have cycled from home (Oswestry in North Shropshire) to Rome. Then I cycled from home to Tavira on the south coast of Portugal.
Home to Istanbul is a much more daunting proposition and I would be really grateful for your help.
Do you have the GPS tracks please that you would be willing to share with me.
And any other advice will be very gratefully received.
All the best,
Ken Smith
PS Coincidentally I also ride a Thorn bike, it is a Thorn Mercury complete with Rohloff hub
