It took a while to dry everything so I didn't leave until 9.15 for another 12k uphill. A new problem arose - every time I shifted to 1. gear the derailleur touched the spokes, so I spent a long time trying to adjust it (bending it, etc.) but nothing helped. This problem continued all the way to Istanbul, which was extremely annoying with the endless ups and downs for more than 2,000k so I often (unpleasantly) rode in 2. gear to avoid stopping and bending down to adjust the derailleur...
