Trimming your eyebrows would help a lot with your aero…
Sorry for trolling, great video though!
Which lights are used in this video? I am guessing there are probably newer ones that have come out.
WELL DONE, THANK YOU! 😊 🚲
This is a really useful video! Thank you!
I can't find the multi-day planner he mentioned. Does anyone have a link?
I have a bontager 1300 lumen frontlight
Wow….
Great advise. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!!!!
Cool video.
If you ranger rolled your gear you could possibly fit double the gear.
A tour. It's called a tour. We used to do this before we had KOMs
Great video. Any links for the luggage?
Not yet iam going on a trip to ierland from the Netherlands in a few years that's 1200miles
Everyone has an opinion but there’s reviews and stories of adventures right here: http://www.thebikepackingdad.com
How many inches is it?
save some weight on those lockdown eyebrows… says the bald guy!
What type of bike is that? Is it carbon? Im sketched on putting a heavy frame
bag because Im worried it’ll damage my carbon
A welder and bike rider, I brazed eyelets onto my Serotta steel frame. This Spring I'll replace the cranks for triple…and etcetera, to make a touring bike. My first 'touring bike' was a 1960s Cinelli racing frame. I rode it all across Europe and North Africa in 1974.
Awesome thank you
Don’t wait any longer!!!!
Which dry bag did you put your spare tyre in?
Recommend couple small powerbanks instear large one. They charge themself faster and can do it simultaneously. More easy to predict how much electricity you actually have, also a failsafe option.
GCN USED TO BE GREAT! Sadly no longer, serving your corporate sponsors to line their (and your) pockets! Also, you used to be funny and entertaining, alas, no longer!
No mention of camping gear!…
Thanks, Conor. Excellent topic for discussion — road bikes for bikecamping. I suppose if you're packed for an extended trip, a proper touring bike would be preferable. But, for up to a week or two, I think a road bike would be just fine if you're sticking to roads.
any experience in using a backpack instead? too much stress on ur back?
