Bikepacking Essentials - backpacks & other useful gear

[@Hugo-jh2dc]

Hi, i believe I have a bike pump just like that one and, as you didn’t mention it, you may have missed it (as I did during 15 years): Inside the handle you’ll find tube patches and sand paper!

Is a head torch necessary if you’ve got a bike light that you can take off the bike easily? I’ve tended to use the red rear light around camp.

Ref bike lock cover at time 14:42 I think also its on to stop the metal chain from scratching your bike frame...but you & I don't worry about that!

[@hobocyclist]

Haha! Yes I guess thats true. Imagine owning a bike that you couldnt scratch!!

[@bennjose2999]

Bro for you what are the best frame? Alloy or steel?

[@hobocyclist]

Steel for carrying heavy weight, carrying gear & repair / weld. I prefer alloy for air travel because it’s light for baggage allowance. If you plan to ride a long way overland take steel, if plan is to fly from place to place alloy 👍🚲🏝✈️
