Very nice setup. I’m riding a Trek 1120. I have two years before I retire. At 65 I’m going to hit the open road for as long as I am able. How well I embrace the suck is yet to be determined. In life I have embraced it well I hope it’s not a problem by bicycle !

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Cheers mate! Sounds great :) never too old to get out there!

Lovely bike.. Ive been riding the Camino Ti for just over a year now and its by far the most pleasing bike ive owned.

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Nice one! A Ti bike would be great I’m sure 👌

Great presentation and a good showcase for Alpkit and their Sonder bikes. I do hope you claimed your member rewards. Looking forward to the Desert video too. Cheers.

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Thanks very much! I’ll send it to them and see if they share it 😛 stay tuned for the desert stuff!

Did you mention the bars? I've got exactly the same setup only my Frontier is green!

@Cycling366 4 месяца назад

Awesome! Exact same spec? That would be a major coincidence. I forgot to mention them even though I had a clip where I talked about them, it got lost in the edit! They’re Planet X On One Geoff bars

@sing_cycle_referee 4 месяца назад

@@Cycling366 well almost the same - just the SRAM SX on my (cheapest spec). Also - do you find that those Level brake levers send the lines on a very "out front" path? Always concerned I'm bending them round too far to avoid a roll bag.

What a great travel tank enjoy it

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Thanks mate! It’s been great so far so it’s looking positive!

@@Cycling366 I love mixed bikepacking with rack and frame bag I did the same on my Fargo

@adventures_of_a_dale 6 месяцев назад

Hey 👋 quick question on the front rack. You mention the slippage but remedied it by adding the Tailfin mounts. How are they doing that, just purely by being there on the fork stop it moving….the racks not actually connected to them? Fellow frontier rider here 😊

@Cycling366 6 месяцев назад

It’s only an issue if you carry lots and lots of stuff like I was but the tailfin mounts clamp to the forks underneath the topeak clamps to provide extra support. Not attached in any way 👍

@Akrapovic581 3 месяца назад

Great video man. Gonna steal a few items 😛

@Cycling366 3 месяца назад

Haha cheers man. Go for it!

@flyingpigmx4083 6 месяцев назад

Hi mate , thinking of getting a Sonder Frontier myself , which Topeak rear rack did you fit and the extra little bracket ? great vids btw

@Cycling366 6 месяцев назад

It's a nice bike! It's the Topeak MTX 29er disc rack and you'll need a clamp like this - www.jejamescycles.com/product/14137/system-ex-systemex-seatpost-clamp-w-rack-mount/option/

@SwampyDuckRidesAgain3636 7 месяцев назад

Not sure I could go back to a bike with suspension though I still have an old MTB but never use it no matter the terrain.

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Yeah depends on what you’re after I suppose! Not used suspension myself for a very long time so it’s all new to me haha

@ascot1049 7 месяцев назад

Very nice .

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

@mawoutdoors6766 7 месяцев назад

Hi, love the setup and thanks for sharing. I am interested to know what handlebars you have fitted and how they compare to normal straight MTB ones. Thank you, Marcus

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Cheers mate! I did record a snippet of the bars but obviously didn’t make the Final Cut!! 🤦‍♂️ they’re Planet X Geoff bars with nukeproof bar ends. Much much more comfortable than straight bars in my opinion!

@mawoutdoors6766 7 месяцев назад

@@Cycling366 excellent, thank you. I have just ordered some. Cheers.

@mphillips24 7 месяцев назад

Is the front rack connected to the fork sliders? If so, coupled with the side bags, the unsprung mass could be an issue for the suspension.

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

It is indeed, I don’t think the weight will be significant enough to do any damage to them. Thanks for watching

@tonypaddler 7 месяцев назад

@@Cycling366 it won't 'damage' your forks, I think what @mphillips meant was that the actuation of the suspension will be affected. Maybe try altering the preload and/or rebound if you think that the forks action is different? Lovely bike btw 🚴‍♂️👍

@simonr4843 7 месяцев назад

Great video Tom and a fab bike & set up too. Are your mtx topeak panniers waterproof Tom or do you have the additional rain covers that topeak sell? Cheers Simon

@Cycling366 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Simon! They’re not waterproof unfortunately, but I do have the waterproof covers for them. Never actually used them in all honesty! They’re pretty water resistant as they are so not properly had to

@simonr4843 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Tom - maybe something to put on my Christmas list just as a back up. Looking forward to your next video and in the meantime have a great Christmas 🎄
