While I enjoy your Videos and scenery, I am a little surprised and annoyed by your Ant Oil / comments. While we all should try to be Environmentally conscious and responsible, Oil is why you have a Job after all! Comments like “Oil is Bad” When 99% of your Gear is made with Petroleum 🤔Tires , Cloth , Shoes, Sunglasses , Garmin, Go Pro , Drone your Laptop pretty much everything you mentioned is made with Petroleum.😮

I have booda bike rohloff belt drive gravel bike. Doesn't have any attachment points except for ability to attach rear rack, which I do have the one from that can be bought preinstalled. But it works really well for my usage, which is 90% commute and sport, while summers I do take couple short weekend and at least one longer bikepacking trip. It's all vanilla, except for saddle which is brooks cambrium. I have alpkit custom rolltop frame bag, costs about same as good normal one. Handlebar bag plus from ortleib, two brooks stem snack bags, cheap alpkit 30L waterproof backpack on rack and acid toptube bag with transparent top that also works as phone stand, though I use garmin explore 2 for most real time navigation. Super clean setup, all heavy stuff in frame, including 3L bladder, making total I can carry 5L, on handlebar quick access clothes like raingear and cooking kit. And clothes and shelter in back rack, basically stuff I only need when I camp. Plenty of space to expand, especially with traditional rack. that has sides totally unused. Bladder I use it without hose, since I don't race it's just simpler and easier to maintain, it's just used to refill my bottles.' This video did give me good idea. I generally bike with long sleeve merino shirt, like you to block the sun. But I might just use merino sleeves and t shirt instead. One thing I do have to say though, most fabrics have quite bad sun protection, unless you pick especially UV protective clothing, and white especially does very bad job at blocking sun. But merino does quite good job at this, just pick something bit darker though, doesn't have to necessarily be black though. For me, actual gear I'm super attached to is bone conduction headphones. Just the best for spatial awareness and being able to listen to something when on move. Other is avoid zippers and get waterproof packs.

Hey Ryan, I noticed you have some incompatible tire plugging supplies there. The tool you have is the Dynaplug Racer. It DOES NOT use bacon strips. They have their own proprietary plugs. The bad news is that DynaPlugs are more expensive and harder to come by at shops than bacon strips and the tools that insert bacon strips. The good news is that DynaPlugs are a superior system, they just work better (more effective, faster, easier), and they are made in the USA. I'd recommend getting some spare plugs, since a single bad hole in the tire can use-up both ends of that Racer tool real quick.

Thanks, for the Vid, Van. I don’t know how you do it but you carry a lot of stuff but it doesn’t look like it. I, on the other hand, carry 4 panniers plus a bag on top of my front rack and a bag on top of my rear rack - all added up that’s a total of 6 frigin’ bags. So, I’ve watched 2 different gear videos staring you, and although you don’t appear to be packing much you are carrying all the essential stuff. Also, I don’t carry any camera equipment, zero. I do however carry a little sit stool and a little sit pad ‘cause I’am a lot older than you and I really need to sit at the end of the day because I feel like I’am about to die. So, I carry the same sleeping pad that you use, cook kit ( compact and nesting), bivy bag, rain gear, light jacket, wind breaker jacket, same as you, arm sleeves and buff, same as you. You have a frame bag, some handle bar bags, several water bottles, maybe a small bag on your rear rack. You carry a lot, as I said, but it’s not bulky. I guess I need to see how you pack it.

Rryan--Loved the vid. Good to know for the future. I love the Showers Pass Rain Jacket. It's my favorite color. At some point, I'll get one, although at $295, they're insanely pricey. As for handlebar grips, have you tried the new Rev Grips Pro Series Ergonomic Grip System? My hands go numb alot, so these will be the next ones I get, even for my road bike. They're supposed to absorb vibration better. Apparently, there is a gap better the main sleeve and the bar, giving a floaty feeling. They're advertised at $121, but I've seen them around at $89.95. I've got to do something. People keep seeing me around town shaking my hands out at lights! Thought I'd just pass the this latest tech info on.

Great list Ryan! I'm interested in your long-term review of the 5.10 Trailcross shoes. I'm currently breaking in a pair for a ride on the GDMBR next summer (yay after 30 years of waiting!). One of the things that sold me on the shoes was the elastic cuff at the ankle, however mine doesn't fit as snuggly as I'd like it to. As a matter of fact it actually traps pebbles, instead of shields me against their intrusion. Maybe I just have dainty thoroughbred ankles LOL, but it's super annoying to have those gaps there. Keep up the great videos my friend! Always looking forward to your new content and adventures.

The Osprey Syncro 20 is a even better design@@duzer. This is because it sits away from spine, so you don't get a sweaty back. And if you have iced drink in bladder, then you get a cool air pocket on your back on a hot day. Not so applicable when wild camping though. 😄 It's so comfy , I once panicked and thought I'd left it behind when I was actually wearing it, and with some hefty kit inside it. I also use it as an ultralight camera bag for my kit when doing more outdoorsy stuff, when say walking up a volcano to do some shooting.

Do you recommend wearing biking shoes at RAGBRAI? I heard they are not comfortable to walk around in.

Hello Ryan. question about travel gear. In the beginning of your Sweden adventure you had a roll =able or packable backpack that you used for air travel. I like the idea of getting one for my commuting as often times I don't want bike bags or lights to stay on the bike while it's on a bus or train rack or locked up outside when I'm commuting. Which one have you used and would you recommend it?

Mine is made by a company called Matador, but Sea to Summit makes similar packable backpacks

Pump and co2 cartridge? Definitely a good idea to have the pump, but if you have that why the cartridge?
@duzer
@duzer Жыл бұрын
The cartridge is for blasting air quickly into the tire so it seats onto the rim, for tubeless it’s very important.

I hope you have all your gear/bikes added to your homeowners/renters insurance policy. If anyone ever broke into your garage the out of pocket cost to replace all your gear/bikes would be insane if they weren't insured.

I also thought that bolt on is the solution but finagling the wrench in the frame bag trying to tighten the screw is pretty annoying.

Hi Ryan. Loved you Sweden Tour. Since you have Ridden the GDMBR how many times does it cross, if not share its path with The Divide hiking route. I know it does atleast once as per one of your videos, but is this common or rare. Thx. Steve Toronto.
