Gravel Bike Ride On My Friends Planet X Titus Goldrush

[@mr.baphomet-fpv]

What is your tyre setting？ Seems so smooth

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

@@mr.baphomet-fpv this is my friends bike that I borrowed when deciding to buy this or the Tempest. I went with the tempest. The tyres were 42mm panaracer gravelkings

Appreciate the video, looking at the tempest vs goldrush so both vids have helped me. Would love a link to this ride please

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Thanks. The purbecks are always a fun place to ride. Here’s my strava link, are you local to the area? strava.app.link/OefRl6WYjyb

Hello, what was you choice between theses 2 bikes ? Thanks (;

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

@simscape7869 I bought the tempest. It’s a more aggressive geometry, so a bit better suited to bikepacking where I can crank out miles on the road, but also still being capable of going off road. Few videos on my channel of me on it 👌🏻

Cool video from poppy

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Cheers poppy. It’s that time of year where people go camping with their uncles soon. Just a little bit warmer and it’s good

[@laurenansell9914]

I want. To go camping uncle ⛺️🤣♥️

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Love you too poppy. From Uncle Rake

I've heard some owners complaining that their heels catch the chainstays on this model. How did you find this?

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

I have size 11 shoes and no issues. I think if people ride flats pedals with heels in you may catch, but that’s not how they should pedals. Likewise with spd clips. If heels touch the chainstays, cleats are in the wrong position or you have clown feet 😂

Hi. GPpd vid's. I see you bought the Tempest. Curious to know why you went for that rather than the titus goldrush you rode here? I'm in Aus and trying to decide between the two. Cheers

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

The gold rush is a great bike as well, but I wanted something that felt a bit faster on the road. The gold rush is a much more slack bike, so a bit more stable off road, but then closer to a mtb position with drop bars. the tempest is much closer to a road bike position that can handle off road rides too. I wanted a bike that is more of a mile muncher and a great touring bike. Both could do that, but the tempest feels much faster on the road. Hope that helps?

[@cameronsanderson7924]

@@thebikepackingadventurer Thanks so much. Really appreciated. I suspect I’ll be making the same selection. Cheers.

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

@@cameronsanderson7924 the tempest is more than capable enough for many trails and if it isn’t then probably shouldn’t be on the trail with anything but a mtb. I highly recommend it as it’s a good bike on and off road

[@rollingnome]

Love You! (Disclaimer: In a manly way 😅)

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Take love from anyone, it’s better to love than hate 👌🏻❤️ Very manly love 💪🏻😂

[@olliepranksmum7075]

Hi, what size is your goldrush?

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

This is my friends bike I borrowed until my tempest arrived. This is a large. I think it would suit people up to 6’1 roughly. I am 6’3 and felt slightly cramped
