It’s that time of the year again when I share my editor’s dozen gear list. These are my favorite pieces I’ve tested over the last 12 months. This year, I've found everything from some fun tech, to budget drivetrains, to high-end cargo systems, and everything in between. Whether they're old or new, all of these products left an impression on me in 2022.

4 A frame bag water solution I like the crank tank. which is a solid food grad, plastic formed container, similar to a Camelbak. It can easily be removed. and you can pour out of it to do your camp cooking, and then put back on the bike with ease.👍🏼

@scottg.g.haller3291 Месяц назад

I've gone on a number of bike treks these past few years -- mostly on rail/canal trails and not off road. One simple hunk of plastic that I appreciate is a Portland Design Works Mud Shovel 6.5. It's just a bent piece of plastic that straps to the frame behind the front wheel. It does a great job of blocking the splashes while riding through the rain as well as puddles when it isn't raining. As a bonus, it also kept pebbles from pelting my legs as I rode through gravel. I also used Tannus Armor Inserts in my tires. No flats during my 4 weeks and change of peddling from Chicago, Illinois, to Lincoln, Nebraska, then Oakland to Los Angeles, California.

@salzhaltigersalzhaufen586 Год назад

Triathlon bars for long rides thats one of the things that I loved also helped me to ad another security velcro strap to my handlebar bag to keep it steady (the curse of small riders I guess, well at least I will fit in basically all tents, sleeeping bags etc.).

@jehernandez1980 Год назад

I'm in love with my Swift industry bags they are so durable and well made! Also in love with the cush core gravel inserts I write a lot of single track with my gravel bike and those things are awesome

@oldanslo Год назад

Peet Shoe Dryer. Bike shoes, climbing shoes, mountaineering boots, ski boots, athletic shoes, casual shoes ... any footwear that gets damp or sweaty goes on and are dry and warm in the morning. Not only that they don't stink as the moisture is the breeding ground for bacteria. Both a favorite gear and gear that lasts as I've had mine in constant use for the past 10 years.

@noneatall9534 Год назад

The Ortleib Handlebar-Pack QR is a bomb-proof addition to my bikepacking rig. Fits securely between my drops and have never had an issue even when tearing down some crazy gravel.

@garrettturbett593 Год назад

I’ve used a dyna plug pro on my car after removing a screw. Plugged it two months ago and recently drove from the UK to France and back. Still holding pressure!

@losti4223 Год назад

I was able to test the knew Klickfix bikepacking bags on the French divide this summer ! The front pack is for sure a big upgrade !

@zachsmith4877 Год назад

My South City Stitchworks custom frame bag. Super dialed in, and this new bag builder out of St. Louis is making nice stuff for relatively cheap

@sarkisbenliyan1180 Год назад

My 12 year old steel bike. (an old rusty dented Jones) It still is my best gear (though I am curious how a new LWB would ride) . Tailfin did the job too, although expensive. And my first year on the trail with flats: hope f20 are bomb proof.

@SeanKWhite-lk5zf Год назад

Nice list! FYI Zoleo is less expensive than the Garmin to purchase and much cheaper subscription. App is phenomenal and uses same sat network. Battery life is also really good. Cant recommend it enough

@jasonjaeger7383 Год назад

Got a tailfin for commuting this year and it worked great!

@kaseycarpenter73 Год назад

That apidura 3L is a lifesaver in Texas in the summer!

@petercook7502 10 месяцев назад

Interesting stuff, With the tailfin seatpack and rack I cant help but think a normal style lightweight rack would be more useful and cheaper. Sometimes I feel new stuff can be brilliant but sometimes like, the tailfin, it can be overthought and perhaps unnecessary?

@troglodytestroglodytes220 Год назад

I bought an Ortlieb Seatpack for short trips, and an Ortlieb Quickrack for longer ones with Ortlieb Gravel Pack panniers. All are top quality products and the Quickrack is only £60. An alloy Tailfin with pannier mounts is £250, without bags 😮 If the Quickrack becomes available in the US I would highly recommend it.

@thebikepacker_ Год назад

Apidura is also good

@ccamire Год назад

Great ideas. Thanks for all the work. If you want to reduce your heart rate and sleep better, try magnesium citrate as another option.

@tomg.542 Год назад

Pearl Aumi X Alp shoe. Too bad they don't make the one with a ratchet enclosure but still a great shoe. For me five seasons and still going strong. Very good for hike-a-bike.

@outbackwack368 Год назад

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!!! My Oury grips are 5 years old and still look new. Wish my body did!

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

Oury grips are an exception for sure, it’s been a while since I’ve used them but they always treated me well.

@Alex_564 Год назад

Goodyear Escape tire stood out to me. I have it in a 29x2.6 on my hardtail & it's surprised me how solid it rolls on the street as a rear tire & grips good on loose hardpack trails. Could make for a good bikepacking tire front paired with an XR2 2.6.

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

Right on, great to hear, thanks.

@ebhkkc1 Год назад

I just finished the CT Trail in 11 days and had a blast. I used ALL Revelate Designs ang Big Agnes products. Both of these companies offer phenomenal customer service, durable products and their quality is second to none. Yes I am all for capitalism and other variations, and competition, however I am sold on RPR and Big Agnes. Oh the Garmin inReach is a must! Either way, get out and Bikepack, put your phones away, and celebrate LIFE, and peace of mind that it renders. Happy Thanksgiving to all and thank you for this video. I love the channell.

@jonamcc Год назад

I just returned from a weekend ferry trip to Victoria BC. I packed all of my clothes and toiletries as well as an extra pair of shoes in a Roadrunner Middle Earth Jammer paired with a Jack Bike Rack. Previously I had done a big grocery run with this same setup, where I nestled the entire paper grocery bag in the Jammer without having to move anything around. While neither of these configurations are exactly how I'd pack for a bikepacking trip (with more bags I can better distribute weight), the ease and convenience of carrying everything in one easily removable bag was paramount. And when I removed the bag, I still had a very usable rack surface for toting things around town.

@levonbullard Год назад

Will probably switch to the inreach messenger when my explorer needs to retire.

@nicholaslafferty3928 Год назад

Got the 9 speed Advent cassette, rear derailleur and "trail trigger pro right shifter". By now I would have been considering the next replacement and haven't even needed to index the gears yet.

@jonamcc Год назад

+1 for the Advent 9 speed drivetrain. It's a bit of kit that I installed and promptly forgot about. I use the thumbie style shifter and while every time I think to myself "I could adjust the indexing a little bit on this so I don't have to trim every time I shift" I never do, and it doesn't really matter.

@BurningtunaDC 5 месяцев назад

When did price become "price point" and who authorized this? Nice videos. Thanks for shooting and sharing.

@ahmadzuhairi Год назад

+1 with the Advent X.

@adammacer Год назад

If you like the look of the Kitsbow shorts but find the prices just ridiculous (as I do and I don't usually have a problem with spending on good gear) then Club Ride had/have a very similar looking short for less than $100

@stockholmXX Год назад

Are there any smart watches you can use for GPS navigation, with map display?

@mhe8545 Год назад

I heard some airlines were looking at not allowing airtags. Love my In Reach mini. I don't usually use the tracking. Just for emergency or sending a text.

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

If they quit losing luggage, then maybe we wouldn't need them.

@thisishowiedewitt76 Год назад

The FAA has ruled that AirTags are allowed. Even the German carrier Lufthansa who originally toyed with the idea has since backtracked and will allow them as well.

@onmyphone1420 Год назад

Salomon x ultra 04 boots. Tennis shoe comfortable, supportive, waterproof, durable

@tuftschristopher Год назад

+1. The Five10 GTXs are too stiff on the uppers and laces get tangled while the Salomon’s have the pull tight lace garage and better comfort, stiff-enough sole and waterproof

@shawneetree1440 Год назад

@benjaminobrien Год назад

Great list! I’m curious what that sweet shirt you are wearing is?

@barrybogart5436 Год назад

When you review the various Garmin PLB products, I hope you will give equal time to SPOT, in particular the SPOT X. I used the original SPOT, then switched to Garmin, then back when my unit died. The X is much cheaper, and most important, allows sending and receiving texts and emails WITHOUT a phone. That's a lifesaver.

@SeanKWhite-lk5zf Год назад

The problem with Spot is it uses a sat network with less coverage. It’s a shame because I love their device.

@barrybogart5436 Год назад

@@SeanKWhite-lk5zfWhat is your source for that? I have not noticed an issue in Canada, the US or Europe. I have used both SPOT and InReach. I just watched a 2-hr seminar on emergency beacons and no such judgment was mentioned, and a new European system was described, and it will use Globalstar like SPOT.

@SeanKWhite-lk5zf Год назад

@@barrybogart5436 you can look at their own material. Spot uses Globalstar. Garmin and Zoleo use Irridium.

@andrewamundsen1229 Год назад

Neil, how about tripods? Have you ever shared what you use and how you carry it while riding?

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

I typically carry around the ultra pod ii mini tripod. I’ve been meaning to make a video about my set up.

@zimmejoc Год назад

The apidura bladder leaks through the roll top. Wait for version 2, I bet they fix it’s leaking. Lay your bike on its side and your frame bag will be full of water. If your bike has a kickstand, then you should be ok, just keep that bladder upright.

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

Fwiw, it did not leak for me. Full review: bikepacking.com/gear/apidura-frame-pack-hydration-bladder-review/

@Mike-ql4sz Год назад

I'm a newbie in bikepacking. Actually just looking for a bike to start so i'm wondering why u (many) don't use fenders? Isn't it uncomfortable to get dirty on muddy terrain? Thx so much!

@stuartdilts2729 Год назад

At least for me, all of my trips are short enough that I know if rain is in the forecast, and plan accordingly. I think an additional factor is that fenders can be hard to find and fit for mtbs

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

Sks makes some great snap on fenders, and we just did this review: bikepacking.com/gear/ass-savers-win-wing-review/ Typically, if you are riding in rain for hours on end. Fenders are pointless. It it all depends on the situation and conditions.

@michaelolson3690 Год назад

Seat packs look sketchy. Why jot just rear rack and bags? The aero pack looks cool. I like that one. I have some ck shorts that look just like that

@Webbcorp Год назад

Neil, what is the make/model of that mustard colored jacket in the Tailfin segment?

@BIKEPACKINGcom Год назад

That’s a 6 year old down jacket from adidas terrex. At one point it was an extreme puffy and ultra warm jacket, but it’s now just a packable dow jacket, I’ll take it. I looked, they don’t make it any longer.

@obikedog Год назад

Love the channel but definitely agree to disagree on the the Apidura bladders. Maybe for a leisurely trip it would be okay to fiddle with but in racing I need rock solid reliability and speed. This is neither. I bought one last year and after testing it prior to a trip it has remained in storage. In my experience it is too tricky to get a solid seal with its janky ziplock enclosure. I much prefer the solid bladder seals found on running packs. Bottom line, if it does not seal reliably in the comfort of my clean, brightly lit house, I'm never going to trust it on the road. As it is I would 100% choose to carry a hydration pack and bottles before I fiddled around with this thing.

@chrisprice2200 Год назад

I was also wondering about this set up. With the bladder, what’s the point of the entire bag? Bag and bladder would be at least $200 VS bottles and cages. Can you fit anything else in it, with the bladder? I too, would be concerned about refilling on the fly.

there is no studies that found anything you claim for CBD. All studies cite that they could have an effect but that the research model they use is ineffective at proving so but that a bigger study could maybe find what it really does.
