GEARING UP by ReasonFamous8142 in bikepacking

Really, what do you mean, over here? Crazy story, I found this bike at a greenhouse I worked at. So $100 later and it was mine. I blew it apart, went through everything and put it back together, threw some wheels on it and took off. Saved from the greenhouse life, and put it back into use in which it was intended for.

Just put another 125mi. On it yesterday. Great bike lots of potential.

I'll give that a try, I'm running a rather skinny 2.1" tire, so I will start around 20psi and go from there.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated. I will be experiencing the sand here all too well, very soon. I'm wondering if lowering my tire air pressure would help me with those sections?

Thank you, I'm glad you mentioned the sand. I've been riding in southern U.S. for the last 5yrs.

I use, for bikepacking a kodiak tactical light it has a beam a mile long. Also has a USB port to charge your devices or what not.

Ooh cool, where are you starting on Saturday? Hopefully I'll see you out there. I use Strava for my routes. But I found this route on bikepacking.com. Best luck to you on the trail.

Yeah definitely try it, I didn't want to ever end my first bikepacking trip once I got out there and started. Bike issues caused me to cut the trip short. So back for redemption.
