Love everything about this event!

I know a guy who starts where the electrical tape is so he doesn’t use any black tape at all. Basically done in reverse. I can’t be bothered to try & copy him though.

Do it, you don’t want the FoCo FOMOs!

Old school way was to wrap the top toward the rider.... I prefer the new school way such as you did ! 👍

Have you had any issues with the Scicon bag? I'm a pretty regular traveller with my bike and what I see pretty commonly is that these types of bags are thrown upside down by baggage handlers to be able to go up the conveyer belt when loading on and off the plane - this is because of their bulk and the castor wheels mean they slide off the belt if they're not turned upside down. This can result in the wheels getting sheered off (I've actually seen that once or twice when the bags are delivered back to their owners) and some damage to brake levers / bars if they are bearing the weight of the bike "upside down". The chap who invented the pikapackworks bag also reckoned the metal frame inside the scicon bag made them susceptible to side impact damage as there's nowhere for the frame to "move" if there's something (eg another bag) dumped on its side - no idea how true that is. Any experiences? I'd like to think they're great and they certainly make for easier transportation.

I participated in the '23 FoCo Fondo event and met Jared on the shakeout ride, super cool dude!! I love seeing gravel events like this that welcome everyone to join!

love that bike!!!! Am i really the first person to comment?

Yea to bad here in the usa they don't have this event's.

New Subscriber good luck

Ciao ! 🙂Why you don't wrap tape in other directions ? When I have my hands on the top of the handlebars, the movement of the hand is, if I look at the top of the handlebars, from the front to the back. Wrapped with your method, do you not force the tape, trying to unwind it? Have a nice day, and, congratulations on the method on how to open bottles! :-)

Sweet!

@bikesportsco where can i purchase this? Thanks much & great video

Where was this filmed? I live in FoCo and have never seen that bike park before. Looks like a hidden gem.

Thanks. Well done cycling babe

You should consider including footage and photos of some of the shorter courses, too. There were a lot of riders that weren't in the 118 mile ride.

Out of focus a few times so probably shot on an iPhone. Really for such expensive ENVE bikes and Whoop wearing presenters money is not a problem so a DSLR should be used to give better quality and focusing.

Awesome video about gravel rides near FoCo!

Acting was on point! :) Ace intro vid :)

this is sick! will definetly be attending

hi, what a nice bass in your intro :)) Tried to shazam it, however inrecognizable..

Super Impressive! 👊

Beautiful ride! Did you bike back? 😂

So much wood.

Good to know. Thanks.

Any suggestions on where I can find pictures of a set up like you're running? It all makes sense; I just do better with pictures. Military guy. 🤷🏻

I ran my BMW R50 motorcycle on aprox. 50 % diesel & 50 % gasoline . The R 50 has 6.8 compression ratio it was summer .

Thanks ☺️

I would suggest you use brake caliper blocks. I wish someone would make a rotor wrench that is 3d printed (strong and lightweight). I also would suggest you loosen the brake hoods, they get hit a lot when flying and having the ability to move vs. break is well worth it.

It was really handy, but I wish you would have shown how to pack without rear wheel too, because I am not sure about the sport equipment size ticket that I bought. Chax

Prima di fare i video per insegnare, impara a fare il lavoro decentemente !

great video!

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I think the tape is wrapped the wrong direction on the top of the handlebar.

Most importantly, I learned to use the pedal as a bottle opener!

👍👍🫡🫡

Great channel, good advice, however in this vid I wish you'd warn people not to point high pressure water at the bottom bracket and headset.

What a great tutorial, helped me out big time. Thank you!

I have travelled a lot using cardboard boxes. I have had 2 derailleur hangers bent and derailleur cages damaged by packing this way. Best to remove rear derailleur/hanger, and be extremely careful about the brake rotors. Takes very little extra time to remove these, and then you can have a nice flight.

Nice, So if I did this and I got a flat due to a screw or nail, I should be able to just plug the tire with a patch kit just on my motorcyle.

Very cool vid, I really like it, we have much rougher gravel here in Texas

In france we don't have such smooth gravels roads, we aimed for this but ending riding mtb instead.

Great content! What are you riding?

Earned a subscriber! Life style, the bike, the cinematography, everything is perfect!

road cone drills build...road cone skills? yep, I think that's the saying!

Couple goals

This video has it all: bikes, smokes, candy necklaces, mullets...

just FYI, you destroy your torque wrench by doing stuff like taking the pedals off with it.

Hi. When you get to your destination how do you get your bike bag to your destination? Are you renting large SUVs or using a shuttle company that specifically will transport oversized bags?

Exactly

You can actually mix the waste veggie oil with your diesel fuel to thin it out. You can actually also add a little bit of gasoline to it all in one tank. Don’t get me wrong. I do like your set up. If I had the 7.3 diesel that’s the way I would go just one tank they will pretty much run on anything.
