What tires are you running? Tubeless?

I would like to meet you when you come to Pamukkale, maybe another time. The route you took was really beautiful. I also liked that you went via Babadağ instead of taking the main road. Although I came across you by chance with one of your videos, I am following you from now on. Enjoy your tours

Flats for the win.

I’m really glad I watched this. It seems to capture the spirit of bikepacking.

for me i bring first aid kit and unfortunately i used it a week ago when i crash my bike

Out of curiosity, why didn't you go to hydraulic disc brakes, instead of cable?

Thank you both for running through your gear. It is always good to learn from others' experiences. I'm surprised by the additional weight of all your camera and drone equipment. I already struggle with too much weight, even though I don't carry videoing equipment. My bag setup is similar to yours. I guess however, I have to carry all the tent, sleeping, and cooking equipment myself because I travel solo. I've been tempted to get a little chair like yours so that I don't always have to sit on the ground. I like where you stow your chair on the front rack Hilary. I too have a Rohloff gear hub like Hilary's. Once you have ridden with one you never want to go back to derailleurs. I'm wondering what you do for lights? I carry a head torch, just a cheap one from the hardware store which takes AAA batteries. I have a small inflatable USB lantern which is very useful when I'm stuck inside the tent on rainy evenings. I have several very small USB red flashing lights for the back of my bike and the back of my camelback water bag. I also have a flashing white light on one of the dry bags on my front fork, in addition to the main front light. All my dry bags are bright yellow. I am trying to be as visible as possible. I was surprised with what you decided to put into your frame bags. I prefer to load heavier items like tools and repair gear, into my frame bag, along with 3 litres of water. With a desire to keep the weight centralised and have as low centre-of-gravity as possible. I also pack my tent, sleeping and cooking gear into the dry bags on the front forks in an attempt to get 60% of the weight over the front wheel and 40% over the rear wheel. This just makes the bike handle better, especially on rough singletrack. Enjoy your riding and keep the rubber side down. Thank you.

Interesting to know your stance on bib shorts? I used to not like the idea of them but can’t deny that they’re easy to move in, provide some comfort and for me at least hide my crease! How do you manage this in regular shorts?

Great video.thanks for all the info

What do you wear for under layer riding shorts?

You are living my dream good luck

I found your channel a bit late 😮 But your content is great, so I can live with missing the sale 😅

Finally someone who has a luggage rack, I think that is the most practical thing you can have on your bike (after the kick stand).

Very nice build, it is rare to see a MTB frame combined with a hub sifter. I am missing the mud guards from your bike, but otherwise very impressive.

SLOW the speed of your narrative down

I'm an older ultralite backpacker and have now gone to an e-bike for bikepacking. I tow a cart to carry most of my bikepacking gear (this gear comes from my daze of ultralite backpacking) it provides all the needed gear for a fun and comfortable overnight adventure and weighs ~35 lbs. At 69 I say whatever works for you to continue to get out and enjoy the great outdoors then do it. Also, I no longer have to camp near water, I carry a gallon or two with me...

16:57- crazy question but is that a mug from the shop “bicycle coffee” in Oakland, CA ?? The handle looks so similar to one I got there it’s driving me crazy not being sure lol

Fyi footnpksition over pedals should be the ball of the foot directly over the axle spindle. Then, plumb line through the knee to the pedal's axle (cranks horizontal). Adjust your saddles fore-aftnposition for that. Once that is set, Adjust bike frame size and/or stem length and Handlebar reach so that you feel comfortable, within ideals of course. Your weight distribution should be 60% on the back wheel and 40% on the front. Between 60-40 up to 55-45 unloaded. (hey if your hardware isn't working, get a bike fit before choosing the frame size. If it's too long, shorter stem and bars reach isn't ideal because too much weight over the back wheel makes for a more squirrely ride when you take hands off the bars.)

hi, really beautiful bike... I wanted to ask you what type of luggage rack are you using?

which make/model of bike is the green one?

Estou criando coragem para começa minha aventura na bike.

You guys. So nice and fun to watch. I´ve made some different choices regarding front/rear but other than that it all looks solid and well thought out. Nice to see some quality stuff that, despite pricing also lasts a lot longer, so in the end a better deal. And you´re just the sweetest ☀

Amazing trip, I enjoyed them ty

What food do you prepare during your travel?

I run the ram phone mount with no case required, isnt 1 handed operational thou but i dont take my phone out of the mount while riding and watching the road and hazards ahead.🤔🤕

If everybody just got a yuba mundo cargo bike you could strap on as many jugs as ya wanted, well upto 500lbs including rider and other gear ya wanna take. You really will be slow spokes if you adopt this advice.😂 i luv my yuba thou, i can take everything i ever wanted and more...

Origin 8 makes a bag that im trying out now along with their front rack, so far so good but time will tell, i have a plastic crate inside it to add rigidity and tuck the roll top down inside or i can put it out and roll it up if its raining. Before i used a military butt pack, i think fox tactical makes them and used the molle straps along with a cheap dump pouch and put over the top of my surly sunrise bars, worked pretty good.

In all seriousness, they should play this video in bicycle saftey training🤣👈🫷👆🫸👉👇☝️🫵👍👎✊️👊🙌👐🤲👐🫶

🤗I THINK ITS WORKING, YAY!!!😂 just found you guys, good vids guys👍

Thanks so much for a great video idea with great execution. So handy. So jealous of what you two get up to on your bikes. Truly an inspiration to us first timers

It's such a pleasure to watch the conversations and interactions between you guys, absolutely lovely!

sweet set ups!!

Artik turkiye de kopekler toplaniyorlar. Bu sorun azaliyor.

What handlebars are you using on the fargo?

Love this.

lol meat flavored lucky charms 🍀 🌈

Awesome video! What cameras do you use?

This was so enjoyable to watch , loved it .

crushing the trails!

OMG 😲 I thought they were e-bikes but seems like they’re regular unbelievable how you climb all those hills. Thank you for wonderful views

Hey! Could you tell a bit about how you carry the ulock? That looks like a nice setup there around 11mins.

The western rise pants are great!

Cool! Thats awesome! Glad to are figuring out what suits you! I just got a trek fat bike for bike packing. My first one. This morning. They are a solid price point to get into it I feel.

Don’t give up on the “mountain house” meals! Here are some flavors that actually taste like not dog food: peak refuel butternut dal bhat, mountain house chicken tikka masala, good to go thai curry, peak refuel sweet pork and rice. Idk what brand you guys were eating but it didn’t even look like name brand mountain house 😂

I Love The Enviolo Nuvinci CVT.
