How deep can a Transalp go in water?

How deep can a Transalp go in water?

The title says it all. I’m about to head from Guinea Bissau into Guinea which is apparently going to be flood after flood. And I’m going to try to cut out 300 kms by taking a 50 km track that some say isn’t passable, others say it can be done on a bike. MY off road skills are a lot better than my mechanics:lbhbh:


Am I correct to say that there’s a point where the bike sucks in air and as long as the water doesn’t go above that I should be fine?


Assuming that to be correct, can anybody tell me where that air entry point is so I know how deep I can go?
