Gravel Cycling near BEND / SISTERS , Oregon: "The Pawn"

[@jasboehlke]

There is a great shop in Sisters, Blazing Saddles for all of your bike needs and a pint as well if you wish. Fun town, great place to adventure!

[@njlillegard]

Great to see you enjoying Oregon. Well played as an Aussie in the ❄️ Lots of forest fires in that area the past decade make for amazing views.

endless trails and fire roads from Sisters/ThreeCreeks to Tumalo/Bend - nice video !

[@flagship99100]

WOW! That was a difficult ride! I am glad you finished it without a tumble (as we say in the USA)!

Low gears and some ability to climb, help :)

Thanks for the video tour of The Pawn!

This is my backyard nearly! It was really awesome to see you visiting our area, and you had the best intel around DFH is class! I really enjoyed being able to follow along the route. Best Wishes Jom!

[@GravelCyclist]

DFH, top notch 👌

Love these destination ride videos!! Good work JOM. The T-Lab looks so good, looking for a full review.

[@GravelCyclist]

Hi Paul, the T-lab review may appear later this week?

[@niles_stone2742]

Not a great advert for Bend, but some how I want to go. Plus I have had good luck with the vector pedals too.

[@bonbonflippers4298]

Jom can you tell me how much this bike weighs without pedals?

[@samuraioodon]

Hi Jom, are you not testing the 4iiii precision 3? Just asking because you mentioned your Garmin pedals. Lovely ride in snow!

[@GravelCyclist]

Hi there, I just started running the 4iii Precision 3 alongside the Garmin XC200's. Suffice to say, I've got two computers on the bike keeping the power meters separated. My longevity review of the XC200 will be posting soon, been very happy with those.

[@samuraioodon]

@@GravelCyclist thank you 😊 I am considering both, the 4iiii has not been reviewed as reliable… though it was my first choice because of price. I have xtr pedals at the moment too. Looking forward to your review!

[@PolyglotBikepacker]

Excellent work mate. I'm planning to set up my Sequoia with 650x47mm wheels

[@GravelCyclist]

Good luck!

I just rode this route today and I amazed at how smooth your camera is. What sort of physical and/or software do you use for stabilization? I found the ride very rough. The section that was covered with snow for you is very rough and primitive this time of year.

[@GravelCyclist]

It was a Go Pro 7, held in my hand, so two things are happening. Camera definitely has some stabilizing going on, and I have a very steady hand riding one-handed over said rough terrain. Any descending shots are from a POV Go Pro 7 fixed to the handlebar.
