My ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT Bikepacking Setup

This is absolute genius this vlog. I’m doing something similar in a couple of months 3days, 450km, 3000m vert) and these tips will be invaluable.

Absolutely love this. Thanks for the details and all the tips 🙏

After going thru all the video regarding saddle bag, i found answer for what i need and a new youtuber to follow. Thanks man

Bike-hoteling?

Thats really cool! Thanks for the video 🤙

All gold! Super Informative.

Great video man. Learned a lot and when I summer bike pack this will be my reference

Great setup. Keeps motivating me to try something like this. Maybe an over nighter to start with

I loved the video, i just got back from my first time cycling abroad in Girona. Being from Britain the abnormal heat for the time of year and different sort of climbs were a bit of a shock. I mlwas mainly riding locally but one day i rode up to the French border at La Vajol, it was a great ride but the midday heat just battered me hy the end. Great place to live

Absolutely obsessed with your content man!! On this and on Instagram, when is the badlands video coming though? I cannot wait to see that!

thanks Tristan

Another quality video, thanks. I love the Attaquer gear but need to wait until those cargo bibs are on sale! Keep up the content, thanks.

Thanks Tristan, quality info and overview as always. Would have said g'day when I saw you in Girona but you were on a lengthy phone call while walking the City wall. Hopefully back soon for cycling on fantastic roads and respectful drivers, cheers, Don

This vid along with the ride vid are great! Looking forward to a badlands vid! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️💪🏁

Reminds me of an article I read in a magazine in the mid 90's. Bicycling, I think. The guy rode 800+ miles over 6 days to visit relatives, staying at hotels every night. He rode a Kestrel CF bike with touring gears, flat bar with aero bars. The bike I think weighed 21 lbs and his gear was about 10 lbs. He carried a set of clothes to wear around at the end of the day with sandals and washed out his bike clothes in the hotel sink every night, hung it to dry overnight, and was dry by morning. He didn't have to worry about a cell phone back then. I think he didn't carry the food like you did and his camera to document the journey was analog. Great review as your trip brought out this memory of thos article. I think if he ran the trip again, his setup would be similar to yours as the focus was about traveling light on a bike.

thanks for the breakdown. live in the Northeastern US and would like to do a similar ride in the late fall/winter so may need a bit more bags/gear but this sets some context.

Thanks Tristan.. keen on the Apidura frame bag for my gravel rig..good tip on protecting frame from rub.. can you say more about the tape used to protect the BMC?

I was there in August doing my longest bikepacking trip to date... but all the kitchen and sleep system on the bike lol Now I want to try hotels for sure, sounds perfect for this cold season... i'm only concerned about where to put the bike, what if they don't let me put it in my room etc

Awesome mate …you did a video before about how to try your kit out (ie if it’s not summer)…you did something with a towel but I can’t recall which video it was.

Ridenow also have black valves now at a third of the price 😉 and do you heatmold your bonts?
