Bike setup and gear for PBP 2023 with Founder/Designer Kyle Ng.

Hi, Kyle here! So this year I decided to try randonneuring. And in a few days, I will be starting Paris Brest Paris (PBP 2023), a self-supported 1200km ride across France, with a 90 hour time limit.
In celebration of my participation, we are launching the Rando UL Series - available now!
outershell.com/rando-ul-series
The bag line is made from ULTRA 400X fabric - a super strong, ultralight fabric that’s similar to dyneema. We picked the slightly reflective white color for those extended periods of night riding. If you know rando, you know high vis is key to fitting in!
These bags have been tested and refined through the 200km - 600km qualifiers this year, and we’re super stoked on the final versions.
Check out the video above for a full break down of my bike and gear!

Your setup looks dope, Kyle! Love the UL bags and that's a really creative design with that frame bag! Good luck with the ride!

Great bike and setup. I wish you all the best "en route" in France. PS the 3 anchor cam strap I ordered for my mirrorless and film cams just rocks. Nice work! Thank you.

Cool story and bike you should do a reviewing the ride video or did I miss it?

[@outershell]

Good call on the SQlab saddle. Is that the 612? I really like the thoughtful details and the way you put this bike together for PBP. I hope you had a good ride.

[@outershell]

Thanks! Yes it's the 612

[@user-zy3ls9qt5r]

go test that mous bike mount properly before you start!!! my Pixel 6 Pro keeps popping out of the mount over cobble stones and gravel. Drives me nuts

[@outershell]

Ended up working out!

You said this is your first Randoneering ride? I thought you needed to qualify with doing a 200, 400, and 600k?

[@outershell]

Not my first rando ride, first YEAR riding rando. I started qualifying and training January this year
