MTB now Winter ready | Bikepacking Trips
มุมมอง 681วันที่ผ่านมา
After recently doing my first Bikepacking trip on my mountain bike I came back with a few things that needed sorting. Firstly the mudguards I thought would be ok weren’t and secondly I needed a small rack fitted to the front to keep my bag from rubbing on the forks. So with new mudguards and rack fitted I headed on a test ride to make sure all was good, now the bike is proper ready for winter u...

    Interesting stuff here thanks, though none of it worked for the bike I just took (brand new) out of the box. Have 4 other X35 bikes - two of those had to go to a dealer to get updated and have been fine since. The other 2 have never been a problem and since a dealer is far away from where they are (and this new one is) they've never been updated. But the brand-new one has the dreaded 193 error code so I either get to drag it off to dealer, send the bike back to the seller or buy the GCU and DIY it. Waiting for seller to weigh-in...maybe THEY should buy me a GCU cable? Otherwise both me and the wife LOVE Mahle systems. I have another bike here with X20...with its "smart" charger you can do the updates yourself via the phone app.

    I wonder how those mudguards will cope when things get super off road muddy though Dave? I guess you may have to avoid certain places during the Winter which is no bad thing. My Bootzipper has got new tyres now but no mudguards. Nice to see the drone footage in this one. What drone did you use? Just got the Neo here and yet to try it out:)

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I guess really muddy conditions then it will get messy and block up 😂😂 but for tow paths and forest roads it will be fine. I have the little X1 drone it’s ok but only 2.7k , I have just bought the neo also as you can fly it both handheld and also using your phone or controller 👍

  • @RidingHighCyclingAdventures
    @RidingHighCyclingAdventures 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Great stuff Dave. I presume your inner tubes have removable valves cores(?) which inner tubes have you found the best ones to use with sealant? Cheers mate, Paul.

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes all have removable cores so can fill and top up with sealant when necessary, tubes in use at the moment are all schwalbe ones. These do a great job 🚲👍 atb Dave

    • @mortyoutdoors7109
      @mortyoutdoors7109 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Continental and vittoria also do tubes with removable cores and of course any shrader, I’m using those at the moment as really easy to get the sealant in, make sure your rims will take them though, 6mm valve hole in rim for presta, 8mm will take both 👍🏻

    I don't mean to sound dismissive, but why don't you just go tubeless? You're halfway there anyway. How are you getting along with those forks?

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s the easier option than going fully tubeless , no need to seal rim and change valve. It works well so I’m happy. Forks going great and enjoying the weight saving 👍

    Hopefully we'll have a dry cold winter. I'd like to recommend two bike packing trips I completed this summer for yourself and Ian. Prestatyn to Cardiff hugging the Welsh coast. My favourite one though was London to Burnley on the canal, started in Brentford on the Grand Union and finished in Burnley on the Leeds Liverpool via the Trent and Mersey and the Bridgewater. Keep turning those legs all the best mate.

      We have talked about a trip from London heading north via the canal.Ian has done a lot more longer trips than me, like always time is the big factor ! Work, family and weather 😂 Let’s hope for a cold crisp winter 🥶🙏👍 atb Dave

      Too right Geordie, so much crap comes off that front wheel, can’t beat a good thick cable tie 🚲👍

    Perfect timing! I was considering getting these mudguards but concerned about whether the rear would fit along with a rack - looks like it will! Cheers. Subscribed 😊

      Thanks , I had to lift the rear rack about 10/15mm but the mudguards fitted very easily. cheers for the sub atb Dave 🚲👍

    Bikes really looking the part, those little front racks are great, I’ve got 2 on bikes, no problems after a few years of use, really light and miss them on bikes I’ve not got them on🚲👍🏻

    What tyre pressure's do you run Dave?

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I’m a man of pressure touch lol , if it’s too hard a ride I lower the pressure. but basically if it’s mostly on road I run them higher but off road I lower them to smooth out the bumps.🚲👍
