  1. I’d have thought that there’d be a lot of strain on the seatpost bottle cage bolts, especially when loaded and on rough tracks – any issues?

  2. Отличный байк, произведение искусства
    Жаль Тритон покинул наши пенаты, на их базе можно было придумать нечто подобное
    Благо шатуны Ракета до сих пор доступны у нас, и можно собрать уникальный байк

  4. I wouldnt trust that saddle bag 1 mile. i got a topeak saddle bag support that attaches to the saddle and adds 2 bottle cages. maybe not ideal for carbon rails, but on my steel rail saddle its a blessing.

  5. If you are a smaller rider and you have problems with your handlebar bag rubbing on your front wheel for me it worked really well that I put clip on aero bars on my bike and then an additional strap on there to support the handle bar bag no rubbing or anything also barley any extra weight or cost (if you like me cant and don´t want to buy a front rack) just be carefull with cheap velcro straps they can work well and create a lot of tension but they also can snap I found out about that while I was cycling to the north cape.

    Anyhow cool build but I think it wouldn´t be anything for me it´s just way to expensive and when I´m bikepacking my bike gets messy anyways so the strapless look dosent really help I guess.

  6. I like the hackery with the bottlecage we need to move away from buying all the perfect stuff just make your shit yourself like who really cares if thats a bend bottlecage it looks really nice and even if it wouldnt look good if it works it works and you dont spend a ton of money so we can get more people into bikepacking cuz I mean it´s fun but also hella expensive compared to similar outdoor hobbies I mean look at hiking/backpacking it´s way cheaper at least if you go somwhere were you can camp outside and don´t have to stay in little very expensive shelters like in the alps even tho it´s really beautiful.

  7. Hi, well done. I'm using a bottle cage adaptor, which gives you the opportunity to put two bottle cages on one set of holes and the frame bag is located in a middle. 1L bottles fit perfectly well. So, together with the seat tube bottle I can carry three bottles instead of two.

  8. My thoughts : Nice bike 🙂 and nice set up. Do I care about frame rub on 'naked' Ti frames, nope but essential to prevent on carbon etc. But yes strapless looks nice. Taking the seat bag off your adapter to seat post looks … not that straight forward. The aero bars need more tinkering or changing on this kind of bike. I like the look of the Blips but personally not converted to e-shifting. 3D printed saddles : hard to get dirt/mud out of the weave, not my choice. I would put some tools in bar end's. Apidura makes great stuff. You are creating good content and ICE cars and scooters suck and we are going to end up like the dinosaurs the way it's going.

  9. If you like titanium so much, you should try the keego bottles, which have a titanium coating on the inside are super light and are even available with fidlock mounts

  10. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. Which Profile Design bar are you using? Their USA site doesn’t have one with the same adjustability. It looks like they discontinued that model. Also, do the aero bars interfere with your hand placement on the top of the handle bar? Having flip up pads would be nice. Thank you!

  11. Wow. Beautiful. Amazing. I am speechless. Also you can buy a new Mercedes Sprinter for the price of this setup I guess. JK lol
    ps: I can't even afford to built MTB hardtail with cheap Aliexpress components :/

  12. I use luxrul as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It's a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn't lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interio.
