[@middlefork6530]

Please don’t let this freak you out, but you might be my new hero. At 58 years old, comfort on and off my bike has become more important. Thanks for all the great information. 👍🏼

My wife and I are trail runners and have been very happy with the Osprey vests. The Nathan and Orange Mud also have good options. Great video…!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing!

[@btydings]

Always love your info! Looks like the link to the wind jacket might be wrong. (FYI) Thanks for another great video!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Montbell ex light - should be on their site…

[@pedallinraw]

Yep! lighter helmets for me…I’ve a few …giro…troy lee…but mostly i’m using kask mojito …those peaked enduro style lids can weigh 😅

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing!

[@teddgram]

I think those POC helmets look awesome. Will probably be my next helmet.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

You won’t regret - great lids 🤙 ride on!

[@garygriffin5432]

High energy delivery; top notch content!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Much appreciated! Ride on :)

[@themindunset]

Man, your content is freaking awesome. Love it. My go-to gear? Vittoria Mezcals are my tires and since I'm in my mid-50s, I don't skimp on my sleep comfort. I don't leave home without my 3" Nemo Quazar sleep pad and Fillo pillow. BTW, I'm still riding my Forest Service Green 2018 Salsa Fargo. Love that bike and it's carried me all over Mexico and down the Baja Divide. Thanks for the great content.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching and for your incredibly kind words!! Ride on 🙌🙌

[@madrapperdave]

Enjoyed this one :) and also appreciate the use of the metric system!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching! Ride on :)

[@kevindean9613]

I'll vouch for the massage gun ,it s great if you have cramp issues like I do . Happy new year .

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

You too! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@Jinedan]

Good stuff! 100% agree on POC helmets. I love my Ventral Air Spin! It's so light, comfy and stable I forget I have it on. My MTB style tends toward "dirt roadie" more than "bro" so I get good-natured crap from my friends in baggies with their big visors. Until I hand them my lid that weighs 250g less than theirs :)

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

😂😂 well said 🤙 ride on!!

[@KolbyBeaton]

Great video yet again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Allan. Keep being you. Such an authentic dude!!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for your kind words and have a fantastic New Year! Ride on :)

[@jasonwills6694]

Thank you and great vid. Pickup up the rain mitts. Filled a need and lightweight.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Awesome 🙌 ride on!

[@sylv_ain]

Great video as usual ! I probably geek on my gear too much, I should ride more. I've been a huge fan of massage gun since I got back into biking couple or years ago, life changer. I even have a mini one I carry with me during my traveling for work

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

I’ve gotta look into a mini one :) have a great new year!!!

[@jmdrstv]

Also a huge fan of Conti RKs! Great content as always. Is that jacket the Ventum in the link?

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

The link might be wrong, but it’s a montbell ex light wind jacket- should be able to pull up in their site :) ride on!

[@mycoachdave]

Osprey Duro rocks! Picked one up at REI a couple years back. Zero regrets!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Good to hear! Ride on :)

[@helidude72i]

Great video. Hope you have a Happy New year 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Happy new year! 🎆

[@michaelmetcalfe795]

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

No problem 👍 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@htcltd]

+1 for POC helmets. Crashed badly on my 4th ride with a new helmet. Broke my collar bone and helmet crushed where it came into contact with protruding rocks. Not even a headache. Gave me 35% off a new helmet with their crash policy.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Sorry to hear about your crash! But glad to hear how well your helmet did… thanks for sharing, ride on :)

[@CharlieReverte]

Thanks Alan as always for your helpful info and making it personal!

Great video as always…do you follow a specific stretching routine? Video idea!!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

[@larslarsen1149]

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching and commenting :) Ride on!!

[@andreasdumke5075]

Thanks for this video. Once again really interesting gear recommendations👍. I like it!!! Happy new year!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Happy new year! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙

[@FloppyWaffle]

I just picked up a Garmin 1030 plus bundle @ 40% off directly from Garmin, I've never had or used a GPS unit while biking so it should be an interesting learning curve. LOve your videos, keep them coming!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

That’s a great deal! Enjoy, and thanks for your kind words :)

[@hardmtnbiker]

Just subbed. I agree with Conti tires and even though I haven't used them in years but remember that they worked great! Love you list, planning on a multi-day ride but I will probably stay in motels with minimal camping if possible. Just making the plans now. I wax with Silca Super Secret $40 wax but never tried the chain stripper.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for chiming in- nothing wrong with motels on a bike trip! Good sleep and showers are huge! Ps you’ll love the stripper on your next chain- give it a shot 🤙 ride on :)

[@CyclingLifePT]

About the Conti's: I've ridden on those, but then i've discovered the Donnelly Strada, these are a bit more 'gravel' or at least 50/50 road/off-road tires. They have excelent cornering grip and good puncture protection. I used to bring a Conti in my backpack just for the worse case scenario, but nowadays, i use tire inserts.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@Bill-qw7ge]

What exact Mont Bell jacket is mentioned? I looked online and don't see this version. Only something a little heavier....

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

it's called "EX Light Wind Jacket Men's" - they also make a vest version - I just checked the site, it's under jackets & vests > wind shells -ride on!!

[@Bill-qw7ge]

thanks@@DirtyTeethMTB

[@red5rich]

What is the ID of your rim that you use with the Cross King? Thanks for the great videos.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Currently 25mm ID stans crest mk4

[@Robinators]

Have you tried Vittoria MEzcal? Those win over crosskings , faast.. for me.. 4k and allmost no wear on pavement

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Yes I’ve used them and sold many at my old shop- good tire. Glad they’ve done you well

[@chriso2348]

What hat are you wearing? I want something similar for my winter rides here in AK

[@emersonfuller2326]

Ditto on the hat!

[@emersonfuller2326]

@DirtyTeethMTB

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

2SBR 2SABERS Mens Winter Hat with Earflaps and Visor - Warm Trucker Baseball Cap Hat

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

I’m not near a computer, but if you type that into Amazon - it should take you there… I love that hat, took it on Iditarod, warm and versatile- ride on!

[@emersonfuller2326]

Cheers!

[@ellerybice3787]

Well here goes my paycheck........ Thanks! I think. 🤷🏼‍♂️¿

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

[@andyedwards7800]
