日本一周用のオススメ自転車 2017 【GIANT　グレートジャーニー　生産終了】

今回は、日本一周を終えた今だからこその、日本一周用のおすすめ自転車の記事を書こうかなと思います。

日本一周に出かける前に、こういった記事も書きました。

私は自転車が好きです。しかし、意外と自転車で日本一周している人たちは、それほど自転車にこだわりがある人は少ないようです。ちなみに旅中に出会った外国人サイクリストは、俺の自転車を見てくれ！と言わんばかりに、自転車アピールが強かったです。自転車が好きなんだろうなぁと思ったのでした。

ただ、こだわるこだわらないにかかわらず、自分の自転車のことを少しでも理解していると、アクシデントがあったときも、それなりに対応できますので、自転車を知るということは、重要な事だと思います。

ということで、おすすめの自転車とともに、何故におすすめするのかということを、書いていきたいと思います。

日本一周はどんな自転車でも、可能です。ママチャリでも小径車でも、ルックMTBでも、ロードバイクでも大丈夫です。

ただ、ママチャリの場合は変速段数が少なかったり、重量的に重かったり。ロードバイクの場合は沢山の荷物を積むと、フレームへの負担などで、不安があります。(そもそもにキャリアを付けるダボ穴もないものが多いですし)ルックMTBの場合は、自転車そのものに不安がありますし、小径車の場合は荷物の積載や、走行性能の面で不安です。

日本一周用の自転車を選ぶには、より楽に走れるように、より不安やリスクを減らせるようにしたほうが良いと思うのです。

ということで、日本一周用の自転車としては、長距離走行を前提とされるツーリング自転車（広義のランドナー）の中から選ぶのが良いと思います。

という事で、おすすめの自転車を発表します。

おすすめの自転車　グレートジャーニー

シフター（変速レバー）にデュアルコントロールレバー（以下、stiレバー）を採用している。, ギア比、段数がツーリング向け。, スポーク数が36本、タイヤサイズが26ｘ1.75(he), ルイガノgmtとの比較, 追記(2017/09/04).

それは、 ジャイアントの「グレートジャーニー」 です。

普通です。実際に日本一周で、一番使われているであろう自転車です。これを選んでおけば、無難と言われています。何と言っても、前後キャリアやサイドバッグが、標準装備となっているのが大きなポイントです。

ただ、色々ブログを読んでいても、グレートジャーニー（以下、グレジャニ）は自転車として何が良いのかを書いている記事があまりないので、私なりのグレジャニのおすすめポイントを書きたいと思います。

しかし、私はグレジャニに乗ったことはございません。なので実際に乗った上で、おすすめするわけではございません。

日本一周用の自転車を買うとしたら、ネットの情報等から選ぶことになると思います。最終的には現物を見るとしてもです。自転車日本一周の経験を踏まえて、ネットの情報(スペック)からどこを見て、選べばよいかということなのです。いろいろな自転車を乗った上でのおすすめではないので、最終的に、この記事は信用してはいけません（笑）

グレジャニを選んでおけば無難と言われておりますが、なぜ、無難なのか。みんなが使っていて実績があるからなのか。いや、それだけではありません。

私なりにおすすめするポイントを書いていきます。違いを説明するため アラヤ「フェデラル」 、ジェイミス「オーロラ」、ランドナーではなく、スポルティーフですが アラヤ「ディアゴナール」 を比較対象とします。

STIレバーと言うのは、ブレーキレバーとシフターが一体となったものです。現在のロードバイクでは、ほとんどのもので採用されております。

ただ、ツーリング自転車では採用されていない場合が多いのです。フェデラルとディアゴナールはダブルレバー（ダウンチューブレバー）、オーロラはバーエンド・コントローラーです。

詳しくは↑こちらを参考にしてください。

簡単にまとめると STIレバー メリット:ハンドルから手を離さなくても変速できる。 デメリット:高価、トラブルの対処が難しい。フロントバーバッグの取付けに難あり。

ダブルレバー メリット:安価、トラブルに強い。 デメリット:変速時にハンドルから手を離さないといけない。

バーエンド・コントローラー メリット:比較的安価。ダブルレバーより変速時の手の移動が少ない。 デメリット:転倒時の故障リスクあり。

私が日本一周に出る前は、ダブルレバーでも問題ないと思ってました。特にダウンチューブにあるので転倒しても壊れる可能性が少ない、インデックス機構がだめになっても、フリクションで使えるなど、トラブルに強いというメリットが大きいと思ってました。

ただ、日本一周を終えた今は、STIレバーのほうが良いなと思うのです。というのも、沢山の荷物を積んだ状態で、変速時に片手になるというのは、意外とふらついたりしたのです。特に上り坂や暗いトンネルでは、ふらつくことが多く、危険を感じることが多かったのです。

それなりにダブルレバーの自転車に乗ってきた経験があるので、これは意外でした。

特に初めてスポーツ自転車に乗る人には、STIレバーのものを強くおすすめします。ダブルレバーにはそれなりに慣れが必要ですし、荷物満載でのダブルレバーは少々危険です。

STIレバーのデメリットである、トラブルに対する対処に関してですが、STIレバーの自転車で日本一周をしている人のブログを見る限りは、大きなトラブルが起きていることはほとんど無いように思われます。

止めていた自転車がコケて、変速機能がダメになるとかは無いようですし、インデックス機構がダメになるようなトラブルも見られません。世界一周ならともかく、日本一周ならSTIレバーでも問題がないかなと思います。

ひとつ気になったトラブルとしては、変速ワイヤーが切れるトラブルにみまわれている方が一人いました。ワイヤーの品質の問題なのか、変速の仕方が悪いのかわかりませんが、そういうトラブルの可能性はあるということになります。ただ、頻繁に起こるということではないので、メリットを考えた場合は、これは我慢できるかなとも思います。

ギア比というのはクランクを一回転すると、何回タイヤが回転するかということです。で、ギア比を決めるのはフロントチェーンリングの歯数とリアスプロケットの歯数です。前の歯数÷後の歯数でギア比は決まります。

自転車のカタログを見るとギアクランクとかクランクセットの欄に、「48/36/26T」や「48-38-28T」などと書かれています。これがフロントチェーンリングの歯数です。「48/36/26T」の場合は、48T36T26Tの3つ歯数があり、前が3段であることを示します。

また、ギアやカセットの欄にある「11-32T」がリアスプロケットの歯数です。それと合わせて8sや9speedと書かれているのも重要です。これはリアが何段かを表しております。

まず見るところは前が何段で、後ろが何段かということです。 グレジャニは前3段、後ろ8段です。これを3x8sと表記します。 フェデラルも同じく3x8s、オーロラは3x9s。 ディアゴナールのみ前が2段で、2x8sです。

詳しく見ていきます。 グレジャニ:前 28/38/48T　後 11-32T(11-13-15-18-21-24-28-32T)　8s フェデラル:前 28/38/48T　後 11-30T(11-13-15-17-20-23-26-30T)　8s オーロラ:前 26/36/48T　後 11-32T(11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32T)　9s ディアゴナール:前 34T/50T　後 11-32T(11-13-15-18-21-24-28-32T)　8s

自転車探検！ という自転車に関することが、すごく詳しく解説されているホームページがあります。そこには多段ギア比計算機というのがあるのですが、それで計算した結果を画像で貼ります。

坂道を上がるとき、漕ぐのを軽くするために、前の歯数を小さいものにして、後の歯数を大きくします。一番軽いのは、グレジャニの場合は前28T後32Tで、ギア比は0.88。クランク一回転でタイヤは0.88回転、進む距離は短くなりますが、その分ペダルを踏むのは軽くなります。

速く走りたいときは、前の歯数を大きいものにして、後の歯数を小さくします。一番速くなるのは、グレジャニでは前48T後11Tで、ギア比は4.36。進む距離は長くなりますが、ペダルを踏むのは重くなります。

まとめると グレジャニ:軽 0.88　重4.36 フェデラル:軽 0.93　重4.36 オーロラ:軽 0.81　重4.36 ディアゴナール:軽 1.06　重4.55

進む距離については、タイヤの大きさ（タイヤ周長）によって変わります。踏む力に関してはどういった法則で決まるのかはよくわかりません。ギア比だけでなく、進む距離や自転車などの重さにもよるかもしれないです。

ここでまず言いたいのは、ディアゴナールは前が2段なので、軽いギアに関してはちょっと厳しいということになります。これはランドナーとスポルティーフの違い、と考えて良いと思います。

ギア比1.06と0.81で、どれくらいの差があるのかと言われると、説明はできないのですが、より軽いギア比がある方が、安心できると思います。脚力に自信のない方には、前3段のものがおすすめです。

普段からロードバイクに乗っている方やスポーツをされていた方など脚力に自信のある方は、前2段のものでも良いと思います。また、より高速で走りたい方もです。ただ、荷物満載で斜度12%とか13%の坂となると、結構覚悟がいります。荷物がなければ、それほどではないですが。

それでは一番軽いギア比があるオーロラがおすすめかというと、そうではありません。ひとつ問題があるのです。それは後9段ということです。

8段と9段で何が違うか。9段は1段多い分、15T-21Tの間が1枚多いので、スムーズ？(変速によるショックが少ない)な変速が可能です。そこがメリットなのですが、私が考えるのは、デメリットです。

それはギア比ではなく、チェーンなのです。シマノのチェーンは6・7・8段用と9段用では違うのです。9段用のチェーンは、8段用に比べて少し細くなってます。だから壊れやすいうわけではないのですが、強度に関して比較した場合、少しばかりのリスクがあるかなと思います。

なお、8段用のチェーンが9段のスプロケットにも使えると書いているホームページもあります。 これに関しては、ホントなのかな？と思います。チェーンの内幅が違いますので、仮に使えたとしても、変速性能はどうなるのでしょうか。

8段用のチェーンはホームセンターでも手に入ります。これは外装変速式のママチャリやルックMTBにも使われているからです。9段用を売っているホームセンターは少ないかと。万が一のことを考えた時に、入手性に優れた8段用チェーンが良いかと思います。

また、9段のリアスプロケットの歯は8段のものより薄いので、耐久性の面でも劣るかと思います。同じ段ばかり使っていると、すり減って歯飛びが起こります。なので8段と9段で比べた時に、僅かかもしれないのですが、8段のほうが耐久性に優れています。

というわけで、グレジャニをおすすめするのは、前3段で万人向けの軽いギア比があり、チェーンの入手性がよく、耐久性が優れているからです。これはまさしく長距離ツーリング向けのパーツ構成なのです。

さすがにギア比0.8は軽くて、激坂以外はあまり使いませんでしたが。これは一周中に脚力がついてきたからかもしれません。

チェーン・リアスプロケットは5000kmくらいで交換したほうが良いと言われます。初期のギア比に満足ができないときは、この時により自分の脚力にあったリアスプロケットに変えるのもと良いかなと思います。

タイヤに関しては同じ26インチでもいろいろな規格があったりして、自転車の規格の中でもわかりにくいところです。それぞれのタイヤとスポーク数を見ていきます。

グレジャニ:26ｘ1.75、36h フェデラル:26ｘ1-3/8、36h オーロラ:700 x 32c、36h ディアゴナール:700×28C、32h

グレジャニは主にMTB向けの規格で米式表記、フェデラルは主にシティサイクル向けの規格で英式表記、オーロラとディアゴナールは主にロードバイク向けの規格で仏式表記です。比較するにはよくわからないですね。

これをETRTOという標準規格で表記すると グレジャニ:47-559、36h フェデラル:37-590、36h オーロラ:32-622、36h ディアゴナール:30-622、32h

ETRTOではタイヤ幅 [mm] -リム径 [mm](ビード座直径)で表記します。これで見るとグレジャニのタイヤ幅が広くて、リム径が小さいのがわかります。

一般的にタイヤ幅が太いと衝撃吸収性や耐パンク性が良いと言われています。その分、速度を出すには向いていないのですが。旅用自転車としては、MTB向けの規格であるグレジャニのタイヤが良いのではと。

タイヤの入手性に関して言えば、フェデラルのものがママチャリ規格と同じなので、一番良いといえます。どんな小さな自転車屋さんでも、必ず置いております。

ホームセンターではMTB規格の26インチタイヤを取り扱っている所も多いのですが、26ｘ1.75サイズが有るかどうか、お店によります。私が立ち寄ったホームセンターでは1.75と1.9はわりと置いてあったかなと。私の使っていた26×1.50を置いているところは少なかったです。

700ｃのタイヤに関しては、街の自転車屋さんではないことも多いのですが、都市部にある自転車チェーン店では今やどこにもあります。

ただ、タイヤに関してはすぐにダメになることは少ないので、入手性に関してはそれほど重要視する必要はないかと思います。もし、緊急時のことを考えるなら、折りたたみができるケブラービードを使ったタイヤを、予備に持っておけばよいかと思われます。

これが世界一周だと、話は変わります。MTB規格の26インチタイヤがどの国でも手に入りやすいとのことです。

タイヤ全体の大きさとしては、乗る人の体格やフレームとのバランスがあるので、どれが良いとはいえませんが、私のように体の小さい人にはMTB規格の26インチタイヤがおすすめです。そして旅用自転車としては、タイヤ幅が太めの方が良いと思います。

700cのタイヤを使っている自転車に関しては、タイヤ幅を太くすることが可能ですが、リムが対応するか、フレームとのクリアランスがあるかなどの問題があるので、どれくらいまで太くすることができるかは、自転車によって変わります。その点に関して注意してください。

そして、もう一つスポーク数ですが、ディアゴナール以外は36本となってます。荷物が多ければ多いほど、スポーク折れのリスクは高まりますので、旅用自転車としてはスポークの本数が多いのは安心です。

また自転車屋さんに聞いたところ、36本あれば1本くらい折れたところで、リムが振れて走行不能になることはないので、少しの距離ならスポークをガムテープなどで留めて走行することは可能とのことです。

自転車日本一周ブログを見ているとスポークが折れているのは、スポークが32本の自転車が多いように感じられます。それ以外ではママチャリも多いようですが、スポークが36本あっても、品質的な問題があるのではないかと思われます。

以上、シフター、ギア比、タイヤまわりの3つのポイントでグレジャニをおすすめします。

そもそも、グレジャニは世界一周を視野に入れて、作られている自転車ですので、使いやすさ、耐久性など、非常によく考えられています。故に、旅用自転車として、日本一周用自転車として、グレジャニを選択するのが無難といえるのです。

ただ自転車について詳しい方からは、同じく自転車日本一周によく使われている自転車、ほぼ同性能のルイガノGMTでもよいのでは？という意見が出てくると思います。

私がおすすめしたポイントでは、タイヤの幅が違うだけであとはほぼ同じです。

それ以外の違いとしては、GMTにはセンタースタンド付いている、タイヤが長距離ツーリング用のシュワルベマラソンプラス、ハンドルバーバッグがついている、その代わりフロントキャリアがない、といったところ。小さいところで言えば、タイヤバルブが米式とか。

2016年モデルではフロントキャリアがついていたのですが、2017年モデルからはなくなりました。その分値段も安くなり、99,000円となかなかのお買い得価格です。

同じような装備にするために、グレジャニにフロントバーバッグとセンタースタンドを付けるのと、GMTにフロントキャリアとフロントサイドバックを付けるのでは、どれくらい値段の差が出るかは選択肢が色々あるので、難しいところです。ただ、どちらもコストパフォーマンスという点では、高いと思います。

でも、どちらか一つを選ぶとなると、やはりグレジャニを選びます。何故かと言うと、使われているパーツが良いものだからです。GMTに使われているものが、駄目と言っているわけではありません。

クランクセット、BBやハブなどに、グレジャニはシマノのものを使っているのですが、GMTはというと、FSAのもの(ハブは不明)です。

駄目ではないけど、やっぱりシマノ製のほうが安心感があります。特にBBやハブなど回転系は、パーツとしては変速系と比べて、あまり重要視されないですが、長距離ツーリングにおいては耐久性の面で重要かと思います。

なのでやはり、オススメとしてはグレートジャーニーなのです。

グレートジャーニーで日本一周をした方はたくさんいます。その方たちが残したブログには、たくさんのノウハウが詰まっております。年式が違うとパーツなどがちょっと違うこともあるのですが、それらは大変参考になります。それらを読むことによって、出発前にある程度対策を考えることが出来ます。

グレジャニの欠点は付属のサイドバッグです。防水性も低く、破れやすいようです。最初から付け替えている人、途中から変えた人、最後まで使い通した人。自分はどうするべきか、色々考えることが出来ます。そういったことからも、グレートジャーニーはおすすめできるのです。

最初の方でも書いたように、どんな自転車でも日本一周は出来ます。ただ、それぞれの自転車には得手不得手があります。自転車日本一周をするためには、どのようなメリット・デメリットがあるのか、それを理解しておくのもよいかと思うのです。

2018年モデルがすべて発売になったわけですが、 なんと・・「GREAT JOURNEY」が2017年モデルで生産終了となってしまいました・・。

ジャイアントストア福岡のブログにて、グレートジャーニーが生産終了との報告がありました。

非常に残念でございます。

The Giant 2017 e-bike range electrifies all the things

New Full-E+, Road-E+ and more

Matthew Allen / Immediate Media

Matthew Loveridge

Giant, the world’s biggest bike manufacturer, is all-in with e-bikes and this week the Taiwanese company has launched its range for 2017, which includes everything from sensible city commuters to the Road E drop-bar machine and an updated version of the Full-E trail bike. Here's a quick look at those last two...

Giant has focused on integration with its latest line-up, with newly refined batteries that blend neatly with down tubes rather than simply piggybacking on top of them, and updates to the RideControl head units and controllers designed to improve their appearance and usability.

Range highlights

Full-e trail bike.

The big news for 2017 is a redesigned Full-E, now called the Full-E , which features a far more cleanly integrated battery than its predecessor, and debuts an update to Giant’s Maestro suspension platform in the form of a slinky forged composite linkage that’s designed for the new trunnion-mount metric-sized shocks . (Forged composites are so hot right now, because lighter, stiffer…)

The bike is powered by a Yamaha SyncDrive motor with a nominal output of 250W, and in its top Full-E 0 SX spec it’s built with SRAM’s new e-bike specific EX1 groupset LINK and matching Guide RSC brakes, along with a Rockshox Lyrik 160mm fork and a custom-tuned DebonAir 140mm shock. 27.5in wheels are the order of the day, with DT Swiss doing the honours. We'll be bringing you a first ride on this remarkable bike in the coming days.Giant will also be offering two cheaper builds, the Full-E 1 with Shimano SLX and Fox suspension, and the Full-E 2 with Shimano Deore and basic Suntour bouncy bits.

Pricing and availability on all Full-E models is to be confirmed.

Road-E road bike

First launched in April, Giant’s Road-E+ is a full-on electric road bike that uses the same Yamaha power unit as the Full-E+. With endurance-style geometry, big clearances, and mounts for mudguards, the Road-E+ could be the ultimate commuting machine, or an excellent way to cheat on climbs. More on that to come...

Available in two models, the higher-spec Road-E+ 1 has a mixture of Shimano Ultegra and 105 components, along with RS685/785 hydraulic disc brakes. The Road-E+ 2 gets Tiagra and mechanical TRP Spyre calipers.

Current pricing for the Road-E+ is as follows; however this may be subject to change as we roll over to the 2017 model year, with increases likely for the UK market if sterling does not recover from its recent slump following the EU referendum. Pricing and availability in other markets is to be confirmed.

• Road E+ 1 £2749
• Road E+ 2 £2299

Giant’s previous-generation Defy range broke new ground in 2014 by being the first complete range of endurance road bikes from a major manufacturer to exclusively offer disc brakes. It was also a very nice bike, period, but also more of a toned-down road racer than a machine that was purpose-built for performance-oriented comfort. That’s all […]

Jul 2018 · Dan Cavallari

Giant's new Defy endurance bike has several clever comfort features but has the spirit of a superlight racer. We went to Italy for a first ride review.

Mar 2017 · William Tracy

With the Defy Advanced Pro 0, Giant targets riders who enjoy all-day rides on challenging terrain.

Jul 2016 · Marc Abbott

The Giant Defy Advanced 3 is a great entry-level carbon endurance bike and the 2016 model is a significant improvement over 2015.

Jul 2016 · Thomas Seidelmann, Robin Schmitt

How much technology do endurance bikes really need? The Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0 didn’t just throw up a host of fundamental questions...

Apr 2016 · Warren Rossiter

The Defy Advanced 2 is a superb endurance machine with ability to spare and great ride feel. Buy if you want a fun, fast, comfortable bike with a solid spec and good brakes for any ride

Value, ride quality, performance

• Trivia The lead elephant developed a clear bond with his boy co-star. There are three shots in the movie where the elephant clearly reaches out to the boy with his trunk, and touches him in an affectionate manner. This is how elephants behave with each other, and the elephant never did this to any other member of the cast or crew.

An Unforgettable Journey

Riding across america raising money for the bahati foundation, jesse reese foundation and augies quest.- by rahsaan bahati.

October 2017, I was asked to join a four-person team to compete in this year’s Race Across America . RAAM is considered by many to be the toughest bike race in the world.

For 36 years, RAAM has been challenging ultracyclists from around the world to push their physical and mental limits to the farthest reaches. Starting in Oceanside, California, under one of the longest piers in the state, RAAM spans 3000 miles, climbs 175,000 feet, crosses 12 states and finishes at City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland, an East Coast sailing mecca.

I agreed to this adventure. I agreed for many reasons, but mainly because I wanted to push myself and do something I would never do without this opportunity.

After months of preparation (or lack thereof), the day arrived. I was awake at 5:30 am, and as our 12:15 pm start finally neared, I saw my three teammates already geared up in their fluorescent Pactimo cycling kits. They are really bright. Someone said you can see them from space. Seeing these guys already geared up made me even more nervous as we still had about an hour before our start.

All the last-minute preparations were done and we wereat the start line. Friends and family gathered around the Oceanside Pier to send us off. The introduction for our team was the loudest, we had cheering fans on all sides of the starting line cheering “Bahati”.

Three, two one—and we were off! The casual start from Oceanside was very dramatic. Three thousand miles to go and we rolled out on a bike trail for 7 miles before reaching the official start outside of the city. Within the first 3 miles, we had two bee stings—one in the mouth and the other next to my baby maker.

To think people ride RAAM just to finish is a joke. These teams race! And they race fast. I covered the first 45 miles in two hours, smashing up climbs and descending like a Tasmanian devil. I felt amazing to say the least. My first pull finally ended and we began our three-man rotation.

Here is how it worked: Three of the four riders would rotate at 30-minute intervals while the fourth rider had six hours off. Once the first six hours passed, one rider sat out for six hours’ rest and the fourth rider replaced that rider. So, every six hours a rider is swapped out. However, if you’re rider number three, you will ride for 18 hours straight—which was my first shift before I got my six hours off. Racing the first 18 hours was nuts. We were into the high desert with crazy cross winds. We saw teams we could catch and put our mark on the race. I soon found out that going so hard this early could be really bad for us. But we didn’t care. We raced and raced hard.

We soon hit Arizona and headed toward Prescott. It was really warm and dry with nothing to look at. As nighttime got closer, we were only miles from Flagstaff, which is at altitude. The quality of the air was noticeably different. Much fresher, clean and crisp. Up until this point we had only made two mistakes that cost us about two hours. Making a wrong turn and riding for miles will cost you big time.

Entering the Mountains

As we approached Utah, things started to heat up. The climbs were getting longer, steeper, harder. The thin air was starting to have an effect on the riders. There were complaints of headaches and a lack of oxygen. But we pushed on.

Rolling out of Utah into Colorado was pretty seamless. I didn’t notice much difference in terrain, but I would say Colorado was more picturesque with uninterrupted miles of scenic views. My shift was finally over and the next group of guys had to climb the highest peak, Wolf Creek Pass. We passed over the Continental Divide at 10,857 feet. The views were breathtaking, spectacular and unspoiled from that high up.

The Flat lands

People had warned me about Kansas. And boy, were they right! It started out fun as fast tailwinds pushed us upwards of 50 mph. This was great, we were just gliding through Kansas. But then came a right turn giving us crosswinds. We lost about 20 percent of the tailwind but were still moving quickly. And then the inevitable: We made another turn into a full on headwind.

Riding my Giant Trinity TT bike was key here. This allowed me to ride very aero and cut through the wind at high speeds. For wheels, I had a Fast Forward Wheel Design Disc on the rear and a FFWD FR6 on the front. To give you a better perspective, my teammate riding a traditional road bike averaged 21 mph, while I averaged 28 mph on my Trinity.

“We’re Not in Kansas Anymore”

Making it through Kansas was a huge moral victory. Riding for hundreds of miles on a straight road with nothing but cicadas,18-wheelers, cornfields and wind can play tricks on your mind. But we did it!

I had mentally prepared to ride even more flat roads through Missouri. It’s the Midwest, it’s flat right? No, Missouri was anything but flat. Big 300-foot rollers every 3-5 miles. With the high temps around 100,  plus the humidity, these hills felt as if someone was holding you back. I decided to stay on my Giant Trinity for the majority of my riding through Missouri, but there were times when the hills were just way too high and I needed to switch to the Giant Propel—which I configured to be more upright and comfortable.

Perhaps the Coolest

After riding into the night we were getting close to Indiana. This was perhaps one of the highlight states of the trip for me.  We were were heading toward Bloomington, Indiana, home to my Alma Mater Indiana University. This was the place that opened my eyes to many things I thought I didn’t want to know. Being black in Indiana isn’t surprising, but being a black cyclist in Indiana was. Though the ups and downs, conflicts and battles were front and center with an all-black cycling team formed by Courtney Bishop, I always took life lessons from these unfortunate situations. I met incredible people and formed lifelong friends. So yeah, riding in to Indiana was a must for me.

As we got closer, the excitement within my body started to show. My energy level increased exponentially as I was now riding roads I once trained on more than 10 years ago. Approaching the campus, my legs turned faster and faster. I started to smile, and then at one point I became very emotional, nearly shed a tear looking back on the days that were not so nice. The days people boycotted us, the days fellow cyclists wouldn’t race against us. Yeah, I’ll leave that foranother blog.

I had been on the bike for nearly an hour and it was time to make the exchange with my teammate Chris. As we got toward the edge of town, I ran into my college mentor Tim Stockton, who has worked for IU for many years as the campus housing coordinator. I was excited to see Tim and his wife. We sat on the side of the road and chatted for 20 minutes as Chris took his pull.

The wet day had now turned into night, and we were in the rolling hills of Ohio. Massive thunder showers and wind bursts gave us something to try and conquer. As we exited Ohio and rolled into West Virginia, the bigger mountains awaited us. To my surprise, the RAAM media crew was waiting for us on the roadside to gauge our enthusiasm. After a quick candid interview, I rolled off in the hills. Six hours later I got off the bike for a hot meal inside a lonely diner in the middle of the Appalachians. It felt great to have a home-cooked meal and relax without being inside a moving RV.

We were nearing the end with Pennsylvania, right around the corner. The goal was to make it into Maryland in the daylight, but the mountains and rain seemed to never let up. Our average speed dropped. We reached Gettysburg, Pennsylvania somewhere around 3 am. The scene was like a Hollywood movie. Thick mist and fog covered the ground of this historic place. It was surreal. So much so, we stopped to take in the sights, just taking a moment to appreciate history, reflect on our journey thus far and take a deep breath.

After that brief break, we were less than 100 miles from the finish. All four riders decided to bring in the last 100 miles together, crammed in one van for the first time in 2,900 miles. We slogged it out, one pull after another, quickly making the journey into Maryland and finally reaching the official finish line just outside of the Annapolis Dock. Mark Brandenburger (our team captain) did the honors of crossing the line.

It was over, we did it! Let the champagne flow. We all cracked small celebratory beers, mounted our bikes and took the 4-mile escorted ride into the Annapolis Dock. Family and friends awaited us. What a feeling.

I want to give a special thanks to all of our partners and sponsors and to those who donated to help our three charities fight for what we think is right.

グレートジャーニーはツーリングバイク、ランドナー的な存在。 アルミフレームにクロモリフォーク、フェンダーにキャリア、ツーリングバッグを標準装備。 ギアは3×8で2017年モデルが税別10万なので、今の時代から考えるとだいぶ安い。

グレートジャーニーってバカ売れしていたわけじゃないと思うけど、ツーリングバイクとしては必要にして十分なスペックがパッケージ化されて10万だったわけで、需要としてはまあまああったんじゃないかと。 大手ブランドでこの手のツーリングバイクを用意しているのって、たぶんトレック520くらいしかないわけだし。

けど、グレートジャーニーって消えたまま復活しそうな気配は全くありません。 今の時代だとグラベルロードで似たようなことをするからなのかな？ それとも、ドロップバークロスのエスケープRドロップを必要に応じてツーリングスペックに変えていくほうが需要としてはあるからなのかも。

発売当初は賛否両論だったドロップバークロスですが、私が聞いている話だと街乗り用にする人もいればキャリアなど装備してツーリングバイク的に楽しむ人もいます。 ツーリングバイクというジャンルをパッケージ化して販売するよりも、必要に応じてツーリング用にカスタムするほうが売れやすいとかあるのかな。

そのあたりの戦略的なところはわかりません。

ツーリングバイクと言えばトレック520はまだ健在。 これ、地味にロングセラーというかビミョーにスペックの変更を繰り返しながらも続いてます。

ちなみにこれ、昔からアルミフォークでしたっけ？？ クロモリフォークだったようなイメージがありまして。

どうしても最新のカーボンフレームが自転車業界の話題の中心ですが、こういう自転車についても地味にロングセラー。 グレートジャーニーについては今さら復活しそうな気配は全くないけど、FCR0とともにある意味では特化した自転車として人気があった気がするんですよね。

失礼します グレートジャーニーが消えたのはおしかったです。よく大学生のサイクリングツーリング系サークルの人たちが使ってました。フロントトリプル自体も今だとけっこう珍しくなってるのでなおさら ディスクブレーキとスルーアクスル化でもして出して欲しいですね

トレック520は昔はクロモリフォークだったですね https://www.takahashi-cycle.com/2014/12/05/trek-520-2015/

なぜアルミになったのか・・・クロモリ継続かカーボンじゃないのがよくわからないでです

コメントありがとうございます。

海外モデルだと結構ツーリングモデルがあるのですね。 トレック520はディスク化した際にアルミフォークになったような気がしますが、クロモリだと困るのか、アルミのほうが優れていたからなのか、どっちなんだ？という疑問があります。

Transcript [ ]

{ Cutscene }

Scene fades in on Thel 'Vadam and Rtas 'Vadum , who is in a Wraith with its hatch open, conversing. The two are looking towards the Control Room of Delta Halo

• Thel 'Vadam : "What is that place?"
• Rtas 'Vadum : "Where the Councilors were meant to watch the consecration of the Icon . The start of the Great Journey ."

Focus on 'Vadam:

• Gravemind (flashback) : "There is still time to stop the key from turning."
• Thel 'Vadam : "I must get inside."
• Rtas 'Vadum : "Then mount up, Arbiter. I know a way to break those doors."

Vadam turns to face the Control Room as Rtas 'Vadum enters his Wraith and closes the hatch behind him.

{ Gameplay }

Your Ass, My Size-24 Hoof [ ]

As they travel to where a Scarab is visible, docked up on a ledge:

• Rtas 'Vadum : "There, Arbiter. That Scarab's main gun will break the Control Room's door. At the far end of the beach there's a passage into the cliff. It'll take you up to the Scarab."

After clearing the area:

• Rtas 'Vadum : "The Brutes control the cruiser, Arbiter. I'll remain here, make sure no reinforcements get in behind you. Then, I'm going to take the cruiser back!"

Vadam walks into a room with a Sangheili and two Mgalekgolo.

• SpecOps Sangheili : "The Arbiter? I thought he was dead! Hold your fire. The Hunters have come to our aid, Arbiter. They will fight/stand by our side."

' Vadam fights his way to a room where two Sangheili Councilors and two Mgalekgolo are being held prisoner behind force field doors.

If the SpecOps Sangheili lives at this point and follows you to the room:

• SpecOps Sangheili : "Free our brothers! Death to the Brutes!"

Once you clear the room, free the Mgalekgolo and Sangheili Councilors, then head to the top floor to the Scarab.

' Vadam and his Sangheili arrive upon a group of Jiralhanae preparing to execute the Marine prisoners.

• Tartarus (COM) : " Mine will do . Kill the others."
• Jiralhanae 1 : "Yes, Chieftain. (to other Jiralhanae) A day's ration says I can do this in one cut."
• Jiralhanae 2 : "Two cuts at least."
• Jiralhanae 1 : "Done. Wait, movement!"
• Jiralhanae 2 : "Elite!"
• Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson : "Go, go, go!"

Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Stacker and Staff Sergeant Marcus Banks start fighting the Jiralhanae. Johnson jumps into the Scarab and disappears. The Scarab starts moving.

Johnson commandeers the Scarab.

Vadam turns around to see the Scarab's main cannon aimed at him.

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Listen, you don't like me and I sure as hell don't like you."

Cut to Scarab's helm, Johnson at the controls.

• Sergeant Johnson : "But if we don't do something, Mr. Mohawk's gonna activate this ring . And we're all gonna die."
• Thel 'Vadam : "Tartarus has locked himself inside the Control Room."
• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Well, I just happen to have a key." (The Scarab's cannon opens) "Come on. Grab a Banshee and give me some cover. He's gonna know we're comin'."

Backseat Driver [ ]

Two Banshees arrive and the Sangheili pilots jump out

• Sangheili : "Take my Banshee, Arbiter!"

Vadam does so, Johnson fires on enemy Wraiths.

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Ha! How do you like it?!"

They approach the Control Room.

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Stay clear of the doors. Hey, bastards, knock knock!"

If 'Vadam stalls:

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Stay clear of the doors!"
• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Are you trying to get killed? Gimme some room!"
• Johnson (COM) : "What, do I have to spell it out for you? MOVE !!!"
• Johnson (COM) : "Hey, listen, I'm gonna count to three. One... two... three! Don't say I didn't warn ya!"

If 'Vadam moves when Johnson is counting:

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Good! Now stay put!"
• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : "Hey, bastards. Knock knock!"

If 'Vadam turns back:

• Sergeant Johnson (COM) : (unamused) "Ha ha, that's real funny. I'm still shootin'!"

The Scarab's cannon fires, destroying Control Room's door. 'Vadam enters the Control Room, runs into some Jiralhanae.

• Jiralhanae: "Do not let the Arbiter into the chamber! The Chieftain must complete his holy work!"

Vadam either kills the guards or sneaks past them, then heads into the main chamber of control room.

Delusions and Grandeur [ ]

Tartarus and four Jiralhanae Captains stand in front of the control panel, holding Commander Miranda Keyes and 343 Guilty Spark .

• Tartarus : "Come, human, it is easy." (He tries to get Keyes to insert the Index ) "Take the Icon in your hands... (growls impatiently) And do as you are told!"

He slams the Index on the console, which flashes red lights.

• 343 Guilty Spark : "Please, use caution! This Reclaimer is delicate."
• Tartarus : "One more word, Oracle , and I'll rip your eye from its socket!" (he turns to Keyes, pushes her forward)
• Commander Keyes : (exhales sharply)
• Tartarus : (soft menacing growl) "Which is nothing compared to what I will do to you."

Vadam walks in.

• Thel 'Vadam : "Tartarus, stop."
• Tartarus : (gasps, jerks his neck up in surprise) "Impossible!"
• Thel 'Vadam : "Put down the Icon."

Tartarus turns to face 'Vadam.

• Tartarus : "Put it down? And disobey the Hierarchs ?"
• Thel 'Vadam : "There are things about Halo even the Hierarchs do not understand."

Jiralhanae step forward menacingly, Tartarus waves them off

• Tartarus : "Take care, Arbiter. What you say is heresy!"
• Thel 'Vadam : "Is it? (gently) Oracle, what is Halo's purpose?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Collectively, the seven —"

Tartarus grabs 343 Guilty Spark and jerks him around and growls.

• Tartarus : "Not another word!"
• Sergeant Johnson (off screen) : "Please ...

Tartarus lowers 343 Guilty Spark to see Johnson standing next to 'Vadam. He holds a Beam Rifle and aims it directly at Tartarus.

• Sergeant Johnson : "Don't shake the light-bulb."

Jiralhanae growl and approach

• Sergeant Johnson: (raises Beam Rifle to Tartarus' head) "If you wanna' keep your brain inside your head, I'd tell those boys to chill."

Tartarus barks as commanded, the Jiralhanae back off.

• Sergeant Johnson : (to 'Vadam) "Go ahead. Do your thing."
• Thel 'Vadam : (to Guilty Spark) "The Sacred Rings , what are they?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Weapons of last resort, built by the Forerunners to eliminate potential Flood hosts, thereby rendering the parasite harmless."
• Thel 'Vadam : "And those who made the rings? What happened to the Forerunners?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the rings. They and all additional sentient life within three radii of the galactic center, died, as planned."

Close up on 'Vadam, he lowers his head in sadness.

• 343 Guilty Spark : (slightly awkward) "Would you... like to see the relevant data?"
• Thel 'Vadam : (turns his attention back to Tartarus) "Tartarus. The Prophets have betrayed us."

Tartarus pauses, then throws 343 Guilty Spark at Johnson's head, knocking him down. He then grabs Keyes' hand and forces the Index into the console

• Tartarus : "No, Arbiter! The Great Journey has begun. And the Brutes, not the Elites , shall be the Prophets' escort!"

Tartarus grabs his hammer as his energy shield turns on. The main platform splits into three as Halo charges up.

Sangheili reinforcements show up and wipe out the Jiralhanae Captains. Tartarus jumps to the platforms. Johnson hangs back, firing on Tartarus with his Beam Rifle.

• 343 Guilty Spark : "Charging sequence initiated. Primary generators coming online."
• Commander Keyes: "Well, shut them down!"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Apology. Protocol does not allow me to interfere with any aspect of this sequence."
• Commander Keyes : "Then how do I stop it?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Well, it will take some time to go over the proper procedures, I—"
• Commander Keyes : "Quit stalling!"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Under more controlled circumstances, I would suggest the Reclaimer simply remove the Index."
• Commander Keyes : "That's it? Johnson, I'm on it!"
• Sergeant Johnson : "Hang tight, ma'am! Not until that Brute is dead! (when knocking off Tartarus' shield for the first time) Hey, Mohawk! How'd that feel?"
• Tartarus : "You want revenge? Well, here I am. Come and take it!"
• Tartarus : "What's the matter, Arbiter? Afraid of my little hammer?"

If 'Vadam further stalls:

• Tartarus : "Just like the rest of your race, cowardly and weak!"

After 'Vadam scores a hit on Tartarus for the first time:

• Tartarus : (slams his hammer on the ground) "A lucky hit. You shall not land another."
• Sergeant Johnson: (when knocking off Tartarus' shield for the second time) "His shield is down, let 'em have it!"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Secondary generators charging. All systems are performing well within operational parameters."
• Commander Keyes : "You're telling me that you cannot stop the sequence?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Reclaimer, please understand that interrupting the wave generation process will severely damage this installation."
• Commander Keyes : "Give me a direct answer!"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "I am but a Monitor . The Reclaimer can do as it likes."
• Sergeant Johnson : (knocking down Tartarus' shield for the third time) "There goes his shield!"

(knocking down Tartarus' shield for the fourth time)

• Sergeant Johnson : "Got his shield! Hit him now!"

(knocking down Tartarus' shield for the fifth time)

• Sergeant Johnson : "Quick while his shield is down!"

The fight continues

• 343 Guilty Spark : "Power generation phase complete. The installation is ready to fire. Starting final countdown."
• Sergeant Johnson : "Come on, Arbiter! Kick that guy's ass!"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Firing sequence initiated. And may I say, Reclaimers, it has been a pleasure to serve you both. Goodbye."
• Sergeant Johnson : "I can keep his shield down, but you've gotta finish the job!"

Vadam finally kills Tartarus.

Keyes jumps onto a rotating platform, ducks to avoid one of the other platforms passing right above her, reaches a main platform, and grabs the Index. The entire room shakes, making Keyes hold the Index up to her chest in fear.

Cut to exterior of Control Room. All the built up energy fires into space.

Cut to Halo's exterior, a large pulsing ball of energy is being formed in the center, the shot from the Control Room reaches it, the ball glows, explodes, then dissipates.

Cut to interior of Control Room, which seems to be running on emergency power, as many of the lights are dimmed or not functioning. Keyes stands in front of a holographic depiction, Johnson rides 343 Guilty Spark to her.

• Commander Keyes : "What's that?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "A beacon."
• Commander Keyes : "What's it doing?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Communicating. At superluminal speeds with a frequency of—"
• Commander Keyes : "Communicating with what?"
• 343 Guilty Spark : (a bit surprised) "The... other installations."
• Commander Keyes : "Show me."
• 343 Guilty Spark interfaces with the hologram, it depicts the seven Halos, a red message points to one ring (most likely either Installation 05, where they are, or Installation 04, which has been destroyed).
• 343 Guilty Spark : "Fail-safe protocol: In the event of unexpected shutdown, the entire system will move to standby status. All remaining platforms are now ready for remote activation."
• Commander Keyes : "Remote activation? From here?"

Keyes puts a hand on his shoulder.

• Commander Keyes : "Then where? Where would someone go to activate the other rings?"

343 Guilty Spark is truly baffled.

• 343 Guilty Spark : "...Why, the Ark , of course."

Epilogue [ ]

{ Epilogue }

Fades in on the Flood-infested High Charity .

A Flood spore floats through the air, the camera pans off to the walkway outside the Council Chamber.

Cut to a damaged door that keeps trying to close, Gravemind 's tentacles creep through.

• Gravemind : "Silence fills the empty grave, now that I am gone."

Cut to Council Chamber, Gravemind's tentacles reach across.

• Gravemind : "But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. I will ask, and you will answer."

Cortana 's hologram appears, she holds up her hand, the tentacles stop and move off.

Achievements [ ], glitches [ ].

• If you are able to keep your Mgalekgolo alive after the fight with the Phantom on the bridge and take them to the next room with the cells holding the Sangheili Councilors and the Mgalekgolo, the Mgalekgolo in the cells will not be there. However, if you finish the battle in the prison then go back and get the Mgalekgolo, you will still have four Mgalekgolo, which is very helpful if the level is being done on legendary. They will not be there only if you've ever played Xbox live, or connected, otherwise, you will be able to have the Mgalekgolo as soon as you force the other two in the prison room.

A glitch spawns multiple Johnsons during the fight against Tartarus.

• If you manage to bring a Spectre into the Control Room, you can get Johnson to ride onto it. If you drive it away towards the entrance and come back, there will be another Johnson in his place. Using this glitch, there can be up to four Johnsons (3 on the Spectre, 1 on the ledge) helping you for the mission which can be useful for taking out Tartarus' shields. In Halo 2: Anniversary , this glitch doesn't work; any attempts to drive Johnson away from the entrance will result in him disappearing and respawning where he started at the beginning of the fight.
• It is possible to get Rtas 'Vadum and the other Sangheili to go with you into the building. Get Rtas 'Vadume and the Sangheili into the Spectre and drive it into the building then get them out. They will usually follow you, though this could take a few tries.
• You can jump to the platform where Miranda Keyes is standing and stick her with a plasma grenade. She should run to the platform where Tartarus is. This may take some tries. Tartarus will then attack Keyes repeatedly and she cannot die. Tartarus will be distracted and won't respond to any attacks except melees.
• Sending Tartarus off the ledge during the final battle will NOT kill him. He will respawn back in the center platform and instantly lock on to you...possibly right behind you.
• It is possible to get a Banshee into the spot where you fight Tartarus. If you shoot your Banshee's wings after Johnson destroys the door with some maneuvering you can use it to kill the pack of Jiralhanae and their leader. When it goes to the cutscene, you will be ejected out of your Banshee, but if you return to the hallway, it will be there, allowing you to kill Tartarus much easier. This can also be done without destroying the wings and going through the building to get to the control room. To save time, wait for Johnson to blow open the door. Afterward, fly the Banshee around the left side of the tower (near the door, on your right), and the Banshee will be there after the cutscene.
• If you let Rtas 'Vadum drive the Wraith or Spectre and a Jiralhanae tries to board him, he will never succeed as Rtas 'Vadum is invincible.
• At the start of the fight with Tartarus, look down to your left and you will see Miranda Keyes standing on the death barrier, but she cannot die. She will stay there for a while and later will appear next to the monitor.
• The Great Journey Vacation can be done on this level.
• It is possible to swap weapons with the Sangheili Counselors while they are still in their cells and behind the energy barrier.
• The Weaponless Brute glitch can be done on this level.

Mistakes [ ]

• Marines interact with the player the same way as they do when the player is John-117, with lines like "Welcome to the party, Chief."  If approached, Stacker, in particular, will say something like "Chief! Glad you could make it!"  in the same way that Johnson does.
• When inside the Control Room, if the player crouches on the lowest level of the platform, you will hit the death barrier and die instantly.
• After Tartarus is killed, any surviving Sangheili will still shoot at his body, much like the marines who shoot fallen Covenant.
• In the cutscene, Johnson's view from the Scarab will show Thel' Vadam holding his weapon in his left hand even though Thel' is right handed.

The Pillars, as viewed from on top of the mountain behind the control room.

• There are many unused objects that the developers left in the final level. Take a Beam Rifle and proceed until the part in which you have to escort Johnson 's Scarab . Hijack a Spectre or Wraith . Proceed to the area in which Johnson blows open the Control Room door and drive directly into the water. Head towards the island with the Control Room in it. When you reach that island, look for a sloping rock face. Climb it using the Spectre or Wraith, until you are above the water and on dry land. Continue to drive up the island using the boost and the hand brake, when necessary. Then go towards the highest point, either the top of the island's mountain, or the top of the Control Room. Both can be reached by simply boosting and hand braking to the top. Get out the Beam Rifle . Look to the right, then zoom in to x5. In x5 zoom search for something that looks out of place. When you find it in the sky, to the right of you, zoom in to x10. What you are seeing are the pillars from the levels High Charity and Gravemind .
• In the first shot of the "Delusions and Grandeur" cutscene, three Jiralhanae can be seen. In later shots, four of them are present.

Easter Eggs [ ]

• The Black Eye Skull can be found on this level.
• There is a Heretic Banshee on this level. It will spawn near the cliff where the level starts off if no vehicles are used to reach the Control Room. The player can then use it after "Backseat Driver" begins.
• On top of the control room's spire is the word "REX" splattered in blood.

Miscellaneous [ ]

• If the player brings a Beam Rifle to the fight with Tartarus, he or she can snipe him to get rid of his shield and not have to wait for Johnson's to fire.  However, the vulnerability window is significantly shorter.
• Since the Scarab is invincible, the player does not actually have to defend it.
• Originally, there was a cutscene at the part of the level where the player is on the Scarab platform in which there was a gathering of Jiralhanae preparing to decapitate Marines. Joseph Staten explained that this cinematic had to be cut because at that time "real world events" made this a bit politically dangerous.
• This is technically the first level in the Halo  series and the only level in Halo 2  in which the Sangheili and the UNSC fight alongside each other.
• Sergeant Banks and Sergeant Stacker will disappear right after the cutscene. They probably entered the Scarab with Johnson. However, if you kill any of them, their corpses will not disappear after the cutscene.
• After this level it is unknown what happens to the Fist of Rukt. It might have been destroyed by the Sangheili in disgust since it took the lives of many of their kind. More likely it was simply left behind on Delta Halo. The Final Grunt claims he has it, but as he is trying to convince the player to let him into the  Warthog so he can survive, he likely made it up.
• If the player manages to hijack a Banshee after Johnson destroys the Control Room door, the Jiralhanae pilot will have no weapon and won't attack the player.  If a Banshee is nearby, he will get in one.  However, if the other Jiralhanae (in a Banshee or not) is killed near the first one, the first one will go berserk.
• This level is ironic in that, being the last Arbiter level, 'Vadam is trying to convince Tartarus about Halo's true purpose, when 'Vadam had silenced the Sesa 'Refumee for saying the same things in the second Arbiter level.
• If the player boards a Ghost or Wraith at the start of the level, the Jiralhanae will be holding Sangheili Plasma Rifles.
• The last sentence said by John-117 was used as Halo 3 's marketing slogan as "Finish the Fight."
• If the player flies to Johnson's Scarab and loses the Banshee, towards the end more and more Banshees will strafe the Scarab.  They fly very close to allow the player to hijack one and fly to the control room. If the player is on the ground - near the Scarab's legs - a Sangheili-controlled Banshee will approach and the pilot will offer it to the player.
• It is interesting to note that on Installation 04, the control room was in a temple in a snowy valley, but on Installation 05, it is in a structure in the ocean near the beach, seemingly complete opposites of each other.
• Just before the player reaches the Control Room, there will be a flipped Wraith with a weaponless Jiralhanae on top of it below. If the player approaches him, he will let out a grunt and will walk up to the player.  Being unarmed, he is harmless.
• When Johnson commandeers the Scarab, it starts moving even before he is able to go to the controls. He's only at the leg when the Scarab moves so it should be restricted from the player.  However there is a glitch that allows the player to get inside the Scarab and see Johnson. Johnson will say something like "Glad you could make it, Chief." This is because in every other level that Johnson is an ally, the player is John-117.
• The Forerunner structure encountered by the unmanned Scarab, is coincidentally designed with almost exactly the same architecture as The Ark Cartographer.
• It is possible to go through the first part of the level up to where the player escorts Johnson with a Ghost.
• The beginning portion of the level is extremely similar in design to the Assault On The Control Room in which the player has to fight through a canyon with a group of surviving allies to take control of a structure.
• The waves of Sangheili during the Control Room battle may seem endless, but eventually the waves of will stop.  At that point, Johnson will shoot faster.
• This is the only level in the Halo trilogy in which Mgaelekgolo are the player's allies.
• If Tartarus is killed before the other Jiralhanae, the cutscene will still progress but the Jiralhanae can be seen running around in the background.  This will also occur with Sangheili and other objects.
• If the player parks a Banshee in the place that Miranda Keyes is running across to get the Icon, she will run through it during the cutscene.
• If the player gets a shotgun from one of the four Jiralhanae fought immediately after the cutscene opening the boss battle, it is still considered "ineffective" against Jiralhanae.  However, when Jiralhanae are shot, from relatively close range, they will be temporarily stunned. This is especially useful against Tartarus when his shields are down.
• It is interesting that Mgaelekgolo allies in the level are Covenant Separatists, but in Halo 3 they are Covenant Loyalists.
• If the player flies the Banshee up and around on the mountain after the Scarab blows up the door, there is a decorative window on top of a medium-sized tower.  Jumping through the window will skip the rest of the level and be instantly "teleported" to the fight with Tartarus.
