Bike Packing The Baja Divide On Surly Wednesday Fat Bikes

[@keithattwood59]

I got the exact same bike for the trails out here in Cyprus. I also got the Sram GX AXS, just as you have, but kept the original SX cassette (10 - 50). A nice set up with good shifting😊

[@drivetheglobe]

Good choice! Enjoy your riding!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Love seeing some fat bikes in Baja! I also have a three toe Mexican box turtle, have had him for almost 40yrs!

[@drivetheglobe]

Nice! Gonna ride the capre loop of the Baja Divide in March. My turtle is a Russian. Loves it down here.

[@adityaschavali]

Awesome fatbike touring....center stand would be better than kick stand 🎉

[@drivetheglobe]

Yeah. We ditched the kick stands and went with ski poles.

[@Bikepacking]

Been touring on fatbike for over 10 years love it only way to see the world

[@buckfiden1776]

Nice

[@drivetheglobe]

Ha ha, looking forward to it. Certainly easy to see everything at that speed 😂

[@Bikepacking]

@@drivetheglobe just dont stop at to many bars lol

[@drivetheglobe]

[@JMar4K]

Miss my surly Wednesday loved that bike.

[@drivetheglobe]

Love it. Prepping it now to do some more Baja.

An aluminum Santa Cruz Chameleon (XC/trail hardtail) weighs 31lb. 5lb is absolutely nothing compared to that incredible amount of gear! (Except the wheel inertia turning at speed and quick acceleration, which I don't imagine you're doing a lot of.)

[@drivetheglobe]

No. Nothing quick here at all 🤣

I love the Spanish guitar music in this video series.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you.

[@TravelingThru222]

Sweet ride, Id love to get down there sometime. Awesome footage, just subbed.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you! Appreciate all of the support.

[@4x4_Adventures]

I'm here from glamping doodles! Nice rig and I can't wait to follow your journey

[@drivetheglobe]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@roywilkie9577]

you know it would be really great to hear about all the awesome stuff you saw in Baja, but all you guys ever talk about is yourselves and your gear.

[@drivetheglobe]

Well that was a pre ride video.

[@harry-tuttle]

It's called Wednesday following Surly's Pugsley fat bike, named for the Addams Family siblings.

[@drivetheglobe]

Yep. You are correct. Love the bike

[@stacynoble3909]

Looks like the beginning of a fantastic adventure

[@drivetheglobe]

🤞. Hoping so!!

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

Oh Man ! That's gonna be a cool gig for sure !! Sending well wish's for continued good health and safe travels. I have a surly steamroller it's a fixie , the make solid stuff ! I prob. would have gone all mechanical on the componentry. I look forward to cheering you guys on from your upcoming posts ~peace~😊

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you for the support!!

[@jaystewart9947]

Mucho loco 😅

[@drivetheglobe]

🤣. Yes, quite possibly!!

[@Saved4NewLife]

Can I ask what bike racks you use front and rear for the Wednesday? They have to be good to hold that much gear.

[@drivetheglobe]

They are made by surly for those bikes actually. They are super heavy duty.

[@smokeycanuck8058]

The Wednesday was named after Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family TV show/movies. And of course her brother's name was Pugsley ;). Thanks for your video, looks like an awesome adventure. Mind if I ask you the size of your Wednesday and your height/inseam? I'm 5'-11" 33.5" inseam and a large seems right for me.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thanks for the info! Wondered about the name. I am 5'10" 30 inch in seam and have a medium Wednesday.

How mutch water did you you se The most betwen fefilling stops

[@drivetheglobe]

There were stretches that we had to go 4 days.

[@santanupurkait3471]

Is full suspension e fat bike is good for all kind of roads?

[@drivetheglobe]

Totally depends on roads. This bike is not electric and is very heavy.

[@santanupurkait3471]

@@drivetheglobe thank you

[@alexloweh1]

Great videos 👍

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you!!

[@Radoslaw731]

Bikepackers don't use panier setup

[@drivetheglobe]

Well. Some do.

[@DigitalCity-sj4es]

considering a fat bike for regular Mt bike usage as well as bike packing, what are your thoughts?

[@drivetheglobe]

I love the fat bikes as they are a bit more versatile for both. You can certainly get pretty light ones now as well.
