Thank you. Good thoughts.
Ответитьsince starting bike packing iv given up on mountain biking trails,. bike packing is so much more fun and adventurious
ОтветитьI will be using a state 4130 all road building it my self hopefully will be ready in two months I trust steel more over anything else I am hoping to get more people on a bicycle
ОтветитьProper common sense budget suggestions
ОтветитьGoing on my 2nd ride this North downs way in 6 days time.
Panniers for me, my kits is cheaper, bit heavier.
Great video! Though, I would start a multiple day adventure riding a bike equipped with mudguards. Enjoy!
ОтветитьGreat video! It really helped me out.
Ответитьreally THANK YOU
ОтветитьI agree with earthstick about rack & rack-top bag. Extra weight, only 300-500 grams, is easily compensated by stability and accessibility.
ОтветитьWhat size bags do you use?
Ответитьvery nice video well done and thank you for sharing.
ОтветитьWhat's wrong with a cheap $30 backpack and eliminate all those other frame bags? Am I missing something here?
ОтветитьI didn’t catch what you said about shoes and pedals?
ОтветитьI disagree that the 'essence of bikepacking' is about 'streamlining your setup as much as possible to keep the weight as low as possible'. That's the essence of BACKpacking, if not ultralight backpacking. One of the great things about bikepacking is that weight doesn't matter nearly as much. You can save money by taking heavier gear (rather than spending 2x or 3x as much to shave off a kg or two on a tent or sleeping bag) and by using gear you already have. And you can pack more creature comforts on your bike to make your experience more comfortable and enjoyable. To each their own, I guess.
Ответитьdoes it come ready to ride?
ОтветитьWhy not regular hiking/outdoors shoes with good straps on your pedals instead? Its just way more convienient and versatile.
ОтветитьDo you not travel with a lock?
ОтветитьHi David! Please can you answer if the handlebar bag of apidura its confortable and can use the bar in climb position (hands on the middle of the bar in upper position)
Other models have some foam to get more clearance with the hands,and with this model not sure if its enough and comfortable.
Thanks
Hello, great video. It would be helpful to know what is the size of your grizl bike and the apidura bags. I have also a grizl bike and I’m wondering what size I have to buy.
Ответитьgreat vid! thanks!
ОтветитьI'm going to go bikepacking this year on my Scott aspect.
ОтветитьWhich tent and sleeping bag? I am all in for three of those bags. have a top mount bento for my Aspero.
ОтветитьDavid, if I have carbon rails on saddle, is it safe to tie rear bag on it with additional weight?
ОтветитьA rear rack is a bit of added weight, about a kilo. But the under saddle bag can then be swapped for a rack bag that goes on the top of the rack. It is just as aero but puts the weight a bit lower and onto part of the frame that I suspect can handle it better.
Ответитьany chance you could give the size of your Grizl and the frame bag as well?
Ответитьgood video chap ;) ride safe
Ответитьexpensive bits there...demo with less would be more convincing
ОтветитьHello
Can you write your height and leg length.I wants to but this bike but I have a size problem because I have long legs
I get a feeling that you run on mostly flapjacks
ОтветитьCan you tell me the model of helmet your wearing in this video please?
ОтветитьI think people should put lots and lots of weight up high!! Don't worry about the center of gravity!! And like people holding their phone up to their head like a 1960's transistor radio..lol..now the way you bag up your stuff and where doesn't make you feel like you are riding a touring bike!! Just get panniers and stop w all the fashion!!
ОтветитьUgghhh so expensiiiveee! 😭
ОтветитьAwesome vid mate great info for a newbie like me
ОтветитьI would highly recommend that on your first trip you stay in a hostel. YHA is about £10 a night in most places.
You can then save on buying (and carrying)
- stove
- tent/shelter
- sleeping bag
- roll mat
My first two were like this. You get most of the fun, but much less weight and initial expense.
Good work on the video, as a light setup. If you have to cook or even heat water, you'll needa pot and stove/fuel. I just came back from my 1st backpacking trip and I carried way more than your video showed. My tent took up a lot of space and I brought multiple changes of cycle wear and minimal street clothing. I was forced to use a rear rack (tent & poles) and one large pannier. For food, I only brought two dehydrated meals and some on board snacks for riding. I have toured (road) with 4 panniers and a handlebar bag, so this setup was much lighter, but did not compare to the cargo capacity of the aforementioned setup! I did road and trails with my gravel bike rig. My gravelbike is all steel and is not as light as your beautiful Canyon for sure. I agree, that bikepacking is fun and if you have the means, you should try it. I'm 64, and I did!
ОтветитьWell done Dave.
Food: I recommend dehydrated stuff like oats, biltong or dried wors (dehydrated meat), protein powder meals, Back Country freeze dried meals, powder milk etc. Just add hot water, no cooking required.
So for somebody getting into this hobby how much would it cost total for the exact same setup: Canyon bike, di2, apidura accessories, Silca tools, computer, same shoes and clothing - $10,000?
ОтветитьBog roll!!!!! Can tell you didn't grow up in the country Dave! Dock leaves are for when you get "caught short" as you put it.............. ;-)
ОтветитьWhere’s the cup?
ОтветитьPlanning a 3 day bike packing trip to the Peak District. Perfect timing!!
ОтветитьGreat video on explaining the bags. I'm starting to look into gravel and bikepacking and this helps alot.
ОтветитьNote quite, if you want ultimate get a tailfin.
ОтветитьGreat bit of real in depth experience. More of this please. Well done.
BTW. There are brackets/holders that can help stop the saddle bags 'wagging':)
that Grizl does look like an excellent gravel/tourer
