The more ultralight you get your gear, the more capacity is leftover for chocolate and whiskey.

@not-a-raccoon 3 месяца назад

Flawless logic

@Spanderson99 3 месяца назад

I always overpack, usually end up with 2 big rear panniers and a touring handlebar bag, and a tent strapped onto the rear rack. Might have to change my ways though, on my last tour to Banff I kept getting dusted by guys heading to the start of the Tour Divide! Still, sleeping pad, quilt and lightweight tent have made all the difference, and I’d almost recommend investing in those before going for a nice new touring bike.

I love this channel! Been riding a Torker kickback for probably too long as my only ride. It's not fun to work on but, you've inspired me to volunteer and learn at my local community shop and get more involved with something I've loved since childhood, at early middle age lol

@ianewhall 7 дней назад

I actually really like riding in a full downpour and NOT in sprinkle. I don’t want to be kind of damp…either dry or soaked. Those are the only options for me

@daniellarson3068 3 месяца назад

I guess I'm no bike camper, but I thought there would be rear panniers. I was told once that the panniers give you a lower center of gravity on the bike which can be an advantage. It's cool that you built your own bike and it will be serving you on the journey.

@fallenshallrise 3 месяца назад

It's a great question. Seems like the ethos has changed and has gotten a lot more minimalist. With front and back panniers one could carry a LOT more than this but maybe that's a bad thing. I usually tend to pack to the size of the bags I have. One roll top rear pannier could probably hold the 2 dry bags on the forks as well as the seatpost bag but when you fill up the other 3 bags with stuff the bike gets really heavy. Probably a good thing to just pack lighter.

@davidburgess741 3 месяца назад

The trend is more protective tape on the frame and more scratches.

@msambly5310 3 месяца назад

being on the hobbit side of things, I have to use paniers, there isn't enough clearance for the long seat bag and my back wheel.

@pascalbruyere7108 3 месяца назад

I definitely use a solid rear track and paniers. Large ones. And more stuff on the top of the rack, like my back pack No other bags, nothing in the front aside from a small snack and map bag. That way when you fly all you need are the two paniers and your backpack: any good old 10 speed you find wherever you go may already have a rack, or install one, hook the panniers and you’re off. Sell or abandon the bike when you leave.

@gaypreator8547 22 дня назад

More is more. Depends on where you are going, for how long. Over night just the minimum. Less is more.

@tay-lore 3 месяца назад

Have you considered rolling your clothes instead of folding them? It keeps them a lot more compact. I do this for packing in general

@HunterAtheist 2 месяца назад

I do this and I also roll them up based on what I will be wearing each day. Each day is a roll of clothes. It works very well. I put my socks and underwear in the pockets of my shorts or pants, and roll it up.

@ericsande5345 3 месяца назад

I've used Gorilla tape as a tire boot for a sidewall cut and even tried it as a tube patch. As a tube patch it doesn't last forever but works! I keep some in my commuting pack.

@Adventures4vida 3 месяца назад

I've ridden by bicycle across the USA and know exactly what I need, and I still like to overpack! I bought a Durston tent, and im gonna try light weight bikebacking this summer on my Salsa Las Cruces. I don't need to bring my 3 person tent and solar panels on an overnighter!!

@lioneldm5130 3 месяца назад

I used to have 2 or 3 replacement spokes strapped to my bike. Under heavy load, wheels can break... I broke once 4 spokes, 60 miles from home after a two weeks tour. I was glad I had these spokes.

@davidburgess741 3 месяца назад

I got a deal on a set of Bombtrack wheels with triple butted spokes, assymetric rims and 32 spokes. I was going to build similar wheels, but got a set for the price of rear wheel components. Seido Magnon. Universal Cycles. These are 142 mm through axle disk wheels. I still carry a spare spoke for that stick jammed in the wheel.

@MakeCriminalsIllegalAgain 3 месяца назад

I have a 2013 Raleigh Furley that has mounting points brazed to the chainstay that allow you to hold 2 spokes. I thought it was a great idea but I've never needed them. After reading your comment I'm going to replace them with some new spokes that will match my new wheels and hope I still never have to use them!

@geepeerces 3 месяца назад

my old touring bike had 40 spoke wheels and was tied and soldered (that was a thing in the late 70s). I never broke a spoke and my camping gear was a lot heavier than the ultralight stuff of today.

@arperfect18 3 месяца назад

you, sir, need to check out a BeFree filter or the Hydrapak Breakaway+. filtering water is far from hard. these are by far my favorite pieces of gear.

@not-a-raccoon 3 месяца назад

Trying to get my wife more into biking. I've been upgrading her uncle's (theyre roughly the same height) neglected hybrid bike for her. Replaced the handlebars with a set with rise and sweep, and installed a shorter stem. Next im going to be converting it to 1x to simplify it. Bought a 36t narrow wide crankset and and 11-42t cassette and derailleur extender. We have lots of hills over here and shes not concerned with going fast. And as long as im doing the crankset i thought i might as well do the pedals too. Something with a larger platform so she feels more secure on it. Also a good excuse to get a repair stand 😏🚲🔧

Ha! I use plastic sporks that I invariably get with to-go orders, even when I specifically say "no plastic table wear or napkins please." Titanium is way too bougie for the likes of me! (Extra points for Cat Content.)

@jf3767 3 месяца назад

Your setup looks a bit front heavy. Do those saddle bags have a tendency to flap around and break? What's the advantage of using a saddle bag vs strapping your dry bag to a rear rack which adds hardly anything in terms of weight?
