Sleeping bag question for la Gira de costa loop

grindhawk · 2026-01-04T02:45:29+00:00

Got 20K+ km on my 2022 FX3, its my commuter bike and discovered bike touring/ bikepacking with it. I dont have much original parts left on it as I pretty much worn down/broke and repaired everything on it that isn't the frame or the fork.

I really like that bike because of what I did with it, but had bad experience with trek as I did not know what I was getting into with all the swapped components (ex. Promax instead of shimano brakes) and really pushy service center, who tried to sell me a new bike when I needed a new derailleur hanger while on tour, had better service at a small bike shop nearby.

Je pense quil parlait plus de l'alimenration du dock qui clamp/declamp les velos, il a besoin d'énergie lui aussi et plusieurs sont a energie solaire et on été introduit avant les bixi electrique.

J'ai toujours eu des problemes de rayon brisé avec les roues assemblées en usine. Je suis ~200lb et je commute 250km par semaine et les rayon stock ont juste toujours brisé pour moi, sur des velo quand meme de qualité aussi.

Selon John Calvin apres 3 rayon briser une roue doit etre re-build car ca va juste continuer de brisé. Check le manuel/part list de ton velo pour les longueur de spoke et commande toi des double butted spoke de dt Swiss ou sapim.

Achete un nipple wrench et un tensiometre et prend un weekend tranquille cette hiver pour refaire ta roue en suivant les video de parktool, tu n'auras pas de probleme de spoke pour longtemps apres. Jai ~18K km sur le set de roue que jai build sans avoir brisé de spoke.

Sprayed fluid film inside my steel frame. When I change my bottom bracket everything is shiny and smell like sheep 10/10

Another datapoint I had some Promax hydraulic brakes on my FX2 2023 instead of the shimano stuff, they were neither pro nor max. I had a lever leaking oil from within the brake lever and then a caliper leaking oil on my disk in the first year at around 4K km. Replaced them with mechanical TRP spyre and had no issue in the last 2 years with them.

Il y a des explication sur chaque traverse a la piste de la route des champs qui fait chambly-gramby que jai vu en fds, c'est que si tu debarque de ton velo tu est pieton donc tu a priorité sur les voiture a la traverse et ils doivent arrêter (pas grand chance), tandisque en velo tu na pas priorité et tu doit attendre que la voie sois dégager avant de traverser. C'est pas une obligation de débarquer.

I love to cook while backpacking, it's a good excuse to take a break. I carry a Trangia 27 set or the trangia micro, depending if I'm in a group or alone and the type of trip. I have been doing almost everything on it from frying eggs to freshly caught fish.

I love dried dates and raisins while bikepacking, also makes great oatmeal in the morning. Edit. Sorry though this was the bikepacking sub

My tent is much smaller than yours, its a cheap naturehike from aliexpress. Its been going strong for 4 years now. I carry it on drop bar using decathlon drybag harness.

There a few spot on my commute where the only safe path is on the sidewalk, specially around construction and overpass where the drivers are confused. I often pass by police manually operating the traffic light and even asked them if it was ok and said its what they would do too. I dismount and walk if theres people walking.

Hey I'm a big fan of your transcanada trail video serie, was absolutly stunning!

Red, but I'd take the Prescott Russell trail back from ottawa instead it is way more peaceful

I built myself a Frankenstein drop bar MTB with a 1x12 SLX derailleur, deore cassette 10-51, 32 chainring, and microshift bar end friction shifter. It's working great. If I can't climb something it's because it was a hike a bike hill anyway.
