The elderly gentleman who lost his wallet and you guys found it was such a joy seeing him relieved and happy because of your effort looking for him afterwards. Definitely he must feel there is hope in our fellow man. Good job and a good example. Cheers.
Just found your channel, awesome job on the Wallet, what a neat and refreshing thing to do, it’s always nice to see the honesty in people and doing the right thing, the biking community overall is a bunch of good people 😎🤘
What about suspension performance when comparing seat bag and handlebar bag setup which adds up to the « rider weight » on the shock and fork, versus racks on seat stays and fork lowers, which adds up to the « bike weight » ?
Been commuting with mine since 2012 and it's still going strong! The clunky rattle can get old, but a little cloth gorilla tape on the rack and the bag goes a long way.
How refreshing to see honest, caring people in the world, very rare these days. Can you please let me know how those bags performed did they affect the handling of the bike very much? I have a 2016 Ibis Mojo, 26" wheels, would they work on that dual suspension bike? I'm looking to get into bikepacking and don't really want to buy another bike.
I kind of want to see you hit a 3ft drop with that setup. Nice work with the wallet. It's been too long since I've slept in a tent. Don't know if I could spend that much time in the saddle.
Brian Vaughn Lol I actually did hit a few small drops and some janky trail the next day. i’ll try to put them into a follow up video. I have been doing so much bikepacking recently my tent is like home. 🚵♂️🚵♂️
Your bike looks like it's a carbon frame. Typically it's not recommended having these types of rack tied to a carbon frame/fork. Would you know if the rear rack can be mounted on a carbon hard tail MTB?
I just bought a Specialized Rockhopper Sport. It's a hardtail. I am planning on putting my Bontrager rear rack on the bike for my MTB journeys in Marin County. Instead of using my Bontrager pannier, I am thinking of getting a Topeak rear rack bag. Will the Topeak MTX Ex fit on my Bontrager rack? I am hesitant on buying a Tetra Rack since I my bike is a hardtail and I have the mounts that will work with my Bontrager rack. Thoughts anyone?
I have a question about the fold out paniers. Do they anchor down to the rack in some way? Also the setup in your video makes it look like a loaded panier would rub against the rear wheel/gears - does this happen when on rough tracks. Txs.
I would change the velcro, and I would upgrade those zippers. Definite weak points. It's so worth it to have gear that just works and works over longer periods of time.
I have this bike racks fron and back, but use itwit panieer bags. U do need additional parts that are sold separtely "Topeak Tetrarack Side Frame Set" to avoid tangeling with the wheel
I would like to buy tetraRack M2 equipment for my vacation this summer. But with the micro vibrations caused by the terrain, I'm afraid that the device will slide down and finally touch the wheel. Did you have this problem.
Anybody know of of a 1 person light weight tent that would work for a tall person? I need at least 94 inches to keep head and feet from touching walls and condensation.
I would not ever need nor want that amount of max weight for the packing that I do. My full kit with a lot of extra stuff is well under the suggested max weight. running equipment at its max is a recipe for disaster on any unsupported trip.
Lait, I believe the M1 works with Topeak MTX / RX TrunkBags, RackTime® Snapit / Vario system bags. Make sure to check Topeaks website to verify. www.topeak.com/global/en/products/327-Racks/1285-TETRARACK-M1
Hey there, I wanted to ask you about the front rack. I am seriously thinking about buying one and use instead of the handlebar setup for bikepacking trips and seriously cannot find any solid user feedback about those. Thanks for the information in advance. Safe trips.
@@ryanmamaril7524 I was thinking about one water proof sack on top of the rack and I am making a special sack for the 3L water bladder to put on top instead of hauling it on my back. I am using full suspension bike and there is no room for such a big frame bag.
Hello. Your friend has a bag stick installed on the handlebars of a bicycle. Can I get the name? This is very convenient when there are a lot of wires. 3:45 and 4:01
Great video man! I’m guessing that the Michigan coast to coast ride was cancelled. Sucks Iceman was also. If you get a chance check out the dragon trail in Michigan being built 47 miles of Machine cut single track.
Well everyone knows fly fishermen are gentlemen. And deserve to have there lost possessions returned to them by good blokes on bikes. Cos bike riders are also gentlemen.
สวัสดีจากประเทศไทย, Hello from Thailand Ok. Super cool stopping for a wallet and having the opportunity returning it to the owner... I will get the racks for my full suspension Java Furia. Thanks for the Tetra-rack review.
