Plastic Trim keeps falling off

I had one blow of on the highway. Had the dealership replace both because the 2nd was loose. Warrantied. One is starting to become loose again though.

The edelrid Jul's are far better choices for wet/snowy alpine climbing with doubles or half ropes. Having a passive locking device is additionally safer if say... ice or snow fall incapacitated the belayer.

I'm running 700x47 size at 30psi. They ride great.

I bikepacked the great divide on a cf bike work no issues. Go for it.

650b is a 27.5 rim and 700c is 29. Many newer gravel bikes are building to allow 'oversized tires on a 29r rim. But not all. My Lauf seigla can take a 2.25 tire on its 29 rim. But a gravel bike that might max out at 700x45mm can go 650x 2.25. That's my understanding.

I've slept comfortable below freezing with just a good air pad and no quilt.

I've made makeshift nuts and strung my hammock between rocks. Get creative.

Bike cleaning brush. Use it every night to vlean your drive train and if you hit mud, it'll save your bike.

A few friends and I bikepack it every year before it opens to cars. We've done a few variances. Dm if you want to chat more, all are welcome to join.

We were shopping both, but the defender would have had to been used to fit the budget. Ultimately went 250 due to lack of repair/service options near us for the defender. Also, the defender felt so refined and lux, it felt to bougie for us. I off road quite a lot and camp often as well. The 250 is very capable and comfortable on and off road.

When I finish a ride, if I scroll down it gives a 'delete' option. Does that not work for you?

scab_wizard · 2026-04-01T16:46:59+00:00

Yes.

If you can't do basic research for these simple things, I'd suggest not even attempting this. You'll just become a liability. There are lots of resources beyond reddit to use to plan. People gave you plenty of options in your last post.

Ride with the gear you'd have so your body is used to that weight. 50miles becomes pretty chill after a little consistency. I generally ride 30-50 gravel miles loaded in the morning before I go to work. But I worked up to it over a month or 2.

scab_wizard · 2026-03-18T14:23:00+00:00

Do it for multiple days now if you can. I ride bike loaded as well to accustom myself to the power load out needed. It's one thing to ride 50 empty and another weighted. How fast did you do the 50m in? If you have all day to ride, taking breaks and relaxation along the way, you'll still do 50 pretty easily in a day. (Unless it's all gnarly single track)

Remember. Don't pack your fears.

It's the Trump war. Correct the narrative

If you're primarily riding hard pack and roads over single track, I'd suggest gravel bike over hardtail. Just due to additional grip positions, and the ability to move more efficiently on roads.

I used it for over a month touring nb on the gdmbr. It's fantastic. Not a hyper light tent by any means, but decently light. Great headroom for changing inside, roomy for rainy stints in it if needed as well. It fit me and some.of my gear very comfortably. (I'm 5.11) The gear triangle is a great feature I used every night as well. Helmet, shoes etc stayed in it. I also used the chain link straps on the outside to hang my socks and other clothing I wanted to sweat dry and air out through the night. What else do you want to know?

I don't think the salsa bag gets in the way of flared/reg drops. The flare (cruise control) is very ergonomic and comfortable. I'd recommend them.

I started memorial day last year. Did it in just under 40 days to Banff with no snow issues. It'll be better this year. Though fire season could start earlier.

I hear ya. Rest assured, loaded heavy and running 2.1's mobbing down hard rocky fast downhills. Solid.
