I always ride with a CamelBak. I usually keep a few tire levers, a spare tube, a patch kit, a CO2 pump, few CO2 cartridges, a multi-tool, small first aid kit, my phone, keys etc in my pack. Always nice to have those things so you can take care of small mechanical issues versus having to hike out of the trails.
I used to swear by backpacks and hydration until I tried riding with bottles and a hip pack. Now I try to leave as much stuff at home to avoid wearing a backpack. Only time I bring a hydration pack is when I’m going on an all day epic and need the extra hydration.
I appreciate it when bike reviewers show views other than the cockpit the whole time. I know it's extra effort to get on and off and set up and tear down a tripod all the time, but the end result is worth it. Good work.
I enjoy your videos and commentary on your rides. Just a real guy, non professional rider, out having fun… like all of us! Keep up the content!
you have a great channel, keep it up.
I love the different angles and that you take the time to film yourself on the technical sections, it really makes it enjoyable for the viewers. That’s a great bike you have, we need more people riding Hardtails)
I second that. Loved the low bike mounted shots and third person views - really appreciated the effort to set up those greet shots.
My personal favorite is the hip pack with two 20 oz bottles and another 20 oz bottle on the bike. I find that squeeze bottles require less frequent cleaning as you don't put your mouth on it, and I get less sweaty with my back open. Hydration packs are great for longer days on the bike as you can carry more stuff.
I like a backpack with my hydration in it along with all my tools and spares. It also helps when I take a tumble. It acts as back protection.
You’re taking the tougher lines on that trail now, and really throwing the bike into the obstacles a lot more than you used to. I feel like you still look a little shaky on it, you’re still learning its balance points and how it reacts to different things. That rock would flip anyone over the bars! I just started wearing a pack, I like to carry my keys and phone in it, I don’t like things in my pockets when I ride. Also the mouthpiece stays clean, unlike the bottle.
Water backpack! Never ride w/o it now. Not because I *need* it, but just because I love being able to drink water literally whenever I want. It's addictive.
I much prefer the bottle cage. Wore a pack for years but always ended rides with a bunch of extra water and weight on my back. Recently, I got a real small frame bag that holds tire levers, keys, mini pump and a tube, and a bottle cage for water. Feels SO GREAT to ride without a backpack!!
Take care always Matty coz if you hurt yourself, we are gonna miss your adventures for sure 😜
That is one hell of gnarly trail! Great angles and respect for tackling the chunk on the Roscoe. Rest up!
You ate those big chunky rocks for breakfast bro! Conquering scary natural terrain is so fun!
I use a hydro flask ( vacuum bottle ) in a large side reach cage for shorter trips and cold weather runs with a hot beverage ( again it's a vacuum bottle ) . I will use a platypus large on very long trips in high temps .
Side load bottle cage for the Roscoe (easier to get bottle out with the limited frame space). Hip pack if I need any extra bottle. Just too damn hot for a CamelBak type bag in FL. Glad you and the bike are OK. My Oh-Shit moments can virtually always be related to fatigue.
It's always the little bumps that get you. You think, "I just went over a mountain. This little bump ain't gonna be nothing." Then you go flying over the handlebars.
Always respect the trail. It pays to pay attention.
Good video. 👍
On long rides. I always wear a waist pack with extra bottle along with my gear. Also still have water in my bottle cage. Extra water never hurts to carry around.
I always used the water pack(Camelback) to carry tools, parts and stuff to repair the bike...and of course lots of water.
In the summer here in Texas I have to ride with water in a backpack. I have a 3L Ogio pack that does the job. When it's not so hot and I don't need as much water I'm perfectly happy with a 24oz water bottle.
Like rocky trails like this I run 28psi in the front and 30 psi in the rear. For traction control.
1:43 rachat sounds wonderful
I have a lightweight Camelbak pack and even though it's lightweight it's just too hot here in Florida sometimes to wear it. I grabbed a dirt Podium bottle from them and put it in my bottlecage and it's great cause the cap keeps the mud out of the valve.
One trick I do when the ride is too long for just a bottle is freeze a pack bladder that's half full with water. Then fill it up the rest of the way right before the ride. The iced temps on your back make the ride cooler! One thing that is good about bladders is they protect your back if you slam it when you go down. Like a watery back armor. It's important to remember that hard objects will actually hurt your back as well!! So pack any harder items to the side away from your spine. Learned that when I took up motorcycling.
Great Video! I like the different camera angles. And the Trek looks amazing 🤙🏾
Sick ride! If you ain't first, you're last.
That Roscoe 9 but in crimson red is like my dream bike I might buy it soon. It would be the perfect hard tail for my trails.
I eat an oily diet which for me means I need less water, I only hydrate before my ride and do not carry any water. I have done this for most rides in the Rocky mountains and now I ride at high altitude in the Mexican deserts and this works for me. I will carry water when I explore new trails and I use a bottle and cage, which keeps my back uncovered and puts the extra weight low and central on my bike.
Hey Matty! Thank you for your fun videos man! Your videos helped me make a decision on the bike! I got the Roscoe 9 and I'm thrilled with it! That thing is a beast!!!
I always ride with a bottle and often also with a small hydration pack. I keep my electrolytic drink (usually gatorade) in the bottle and ofc pure water in the hydration pack. I mostly drink from the pack but will take more occasional drinks from the bottle to restock electrolytes. This way, I almost never run out of water and I like having something flavored to drink.
Would be great if trek done the internal storage box for hardtails like they do on some of there new full suspension bike's 🙏
I love climbing on my Roscoe. It has wider tires and less gears than my last bike, but still climbs better! And that was a scary fall on the rocks, I'm glad you're okay!!
Quick run, in the cage is preferred, but the waist pack isn't bad either. Full water backpack on gnarly runs for extra back protection on crashes.
Nice riding on those tech sections! I run a Fidlock water bottle for short rides and a hip pack for pedal days 🤙🏾
Pack always. The convenience and efficiency of drinking from a pack while still being able to stay upright with both hands on the handlebars is worth it for me personally.
Used a camelback for years. It was useful for serious riding but it always grossed me out a bit. And a pain to clean and dry. Recent seasons I just use a bottle. Or put a bottle in the camelback backpack along w tools etc. No more bladder.
I found 2 stainless water thermos, they hold about 24 ox of water , I mount then on the adjustable water holder on my frame
I haven't been here in some time. Just glad you're okay. Your footage and editing are much improved. Stay safe and keep it up!
Glad you're okay! That climbing you did at the top was awesome, I can't clean that part.
your ripping with the new bike- that trails for a full sus bike and you making it look easy on the hard tail - love the video
Over here in Northern England (Yorkshire) to be precise, I go with the water bottle.
Some fantastic scenery there on your video, but a bit too rocky for my liking, as we like the river and canal bankings etc, where we can keep moving pretty quickly, but each to their own fella.
I've been reading up on the Trek Roscoe's and 7, 8 and 9 seem to be good bikes.
Keep the videos coming, and stay strong fella 🚴♀️
Good to know nothing is broken after rolling on those rocks. 👍
Regarding watter I prefer a bottle or two in the watter bottle cage(s). It depends on lenght of the ride and weather. In case of really long ride I carry some extra in my backpack along with all emergency items for Just in case.
I've got a Trek Stache 9 that I've had for about five years and I still love riding it. It has two water bottle cages but I almost never use them. I always ride with a pack.
Dude I've noticed the last few videos your line choice is savage, that POV camera shot from the rear wheel is awesome too.
Honestly, I am used to wearing a hydration pack. (Less chance of dirt getting into the water) though I do use the bottle as an electrolyte beverage holder or extra water. One thing I have learned is that the TYPE of hydration pack matters!
Not so much the cost as the purpose of the pack! The mountain bike-based packs are more comfortable on the shoulders and breathe a little better on the back. I hope that helps. I recommend the osprey raptor 14 as it has a place to store extra tube/Tools,Etc. I am glad your ok!
Dope vid man! I just moved to CO and have been catching up on your vids. I love the third person shots that show people more what the trail is actually like as opposed to the POV GoPro effect. I ride with a backpack because a lone bottle can't fit enough water for a long ride. If I'm at a bikepark, I'll just bring the bottle cage though.
Look into cutting your dropper post cable down a little.
Glad you are okay man! I love that you had multiple camera angles.
I have 2 watter bottle cages on my 22 R8 and I also use a Bontrager waist bag that holds 2 liters of water and it also has a spot for an extra water bottle as well. So no need for a backpack anymore.
I have both and prefer the cage but for longer rides and summertime sometimes you need more water. I now got a fanny pack water bladder and prefer it over the pack. Still some room for snacks and tools.
when ever I feel like my front is stopped by a rock and I start to go over I just pull up on my bars and get the wheel out of the rut, glad youre ok!
I know I’m late with this response (I just came across your channel a few days ago). I usually use a bottle in a cage like you have there, as well as a camelbak. For one, I drink a lot of water when I ride but secondly, I discovered that the camelbak provided excellent protection for my back when I went over the handlebars, one time. I’ve ridden with the camelbak ever since, whether I wanted to carry the extra weight or not.
I hope you are ok. I am 12 and just started mountain biking and I have a trek roscoe 6 and your videos have helped me a lot.
When I started biking I used a Camelback but I changed to a bottle and it's been a big imprrovement. I love the simplicity of it. I use a hip pack now instead of a backpack and I really like the mobility.
That's a pretty gnarly trail for a HT. I run a 160mm dual sys and want a HT as well. I've been swapping bikes with a friend who has a HT and on trails that I normally smash on my dual sus, on the HT every run a limb pops off the pedals/bars! You definitely need to keep awake on a HT and I like it.
That 108 hub was working for you on the rock features! Sweet vid.
I like the hip pack if I need extra water. 1st bottle on the bike though.
King or silca bottle cages. I dont like having stuff on my back either especially when its hot.
for short rides i go water bottle and ditch the pack. It's expensive but check out the fidlock water bottle... it's a cageless / magnetic water bottle and it works great!
I definitely enjoy wide and clean dirt trails. Rocky and tree root trails are not fun for me. I'm 55 so I'm a bit more brittle than I use to be.
Subscribed! Great video. I’ve got the Roscoe 8 and absolutely love it. It takes everything I’ve thrown at it so far and I’ve crashed on it a few times no issues. I like to run a camelback backpack, it doubles as my back protector and carries my pads on easy sections, M20 multitool, and first aid kit (gauge and tape lol)
Thank you I appreciate it Robert!
Ouch! Glad your ok. I use either or for hydration. Depends on where I'm riding.
I like to have bottle cages just in case. I don’t always want to wear a bag, especially if I’m just messing around in the neighborhood or at the park. It’s also nice to have them as an option if I’m in town and grab a bottled drink.
Nice one Matty,good to hear your good....and hope the bikes ok?stay safe 👍
Thank you! Bikes good also
2 Bottles cage !
:) I dont like the feeling of a backpack... but sometime I lost the bottle :(
Bottle cage & hip pack with another bottle (if hot out). Used to wear Camelbak but it’s too hot on my back.
one thing..pads and protective gear...Just in case because there are no replaceable parts on the body..
Great video, very grueling and dangerous trail. You proved that you and the bike are tough as nails
i love the roscoe for climbing. love the 52 tooth cog!
You got pretty damn good pretty fast! That’s a great hardtail, build spec is on point. Love how you have shots of you riding that aren’t chest mount, a lot of channels miss those action shots. I recommend you put the trail name in the video title so people searching Floyd Hill for example would have this vid in their results as well. Channel is too good to only have 11.5K. Hope to see it grow!
Thank you Gino I appreciate it!
I always take a pack. At this point I'm completely used to it, and it allows me to carry everything I take in one place. Back when I got it, one of the reasons was that I din't like the feeling of water moving around in the bottle.
Thanks for content. .
Water bottle and cage for me. I feel like the backpack gets nasty after a couple uses. .
Also you are doing great riding. People will always have opinions on the internet . Everybody takes a fall .
I perfer not to carry anything on me I also find that strapping a hip bag between the levers Is a good bag option for me I like that I can see where all my stuff is
I've deinstalled the bottle cage of my bike, because I don't use it much and it's in the way to mount the bike on the bikerack. I use a USWE backpack with water reservoir. If I want a bottle on the bike again it would be a Fidlock. Nice Roscoe by the way. I can pick up my Roscoe 9 in red this week.
You have a nice bike bro I’m waiting that bike the roscoe 2022 here in ksa but sadly it’s not available.
Glad you didn't get hurt, going head over heels is really scary, holy crap!
Took my new Fuel Ex 5 for a ride & not sure if I’m digging the full suspension ride…thinking of switching to Roscoe series since I do love the beefier tires what ya think?
Yo you should set up Cush Core on your Roscoe! It’s a tire liner that gives you so many benefits. Run tires at lower pressure, better cornering, better landing, better traction. I run it on my Slash and it’s freaking amazing. Love the videos
I run a Camelbak. I got tired of having to stop and climb back up after my water bottles.
We just upgraded to the Fanny pack with bladder from back pack with bladder. At first it was a little strange after not wearing a Fanny pack since the 80’s but we love them. Perfect size for those trips when you can refill the 1.5l but on longer trips I’d take the 3l in the backpack. I always feel like the plastic water bottles make the water taste like plastic. I use my cage to hold the dog water when we ride/run together.
For rides longer than an hour I use a camelback but for just an hour ride I usually just have a water bottle on my bike And a spare tube attached to my frame with a frame strap. I used to have a little pump on my bottle cage too but I lost it sadly.
I haven’t made it Floyd Hill yet, looks like the Roscoe handled it pretty well. Great video as usual!
Thank you! Definitely check it out. It’s rough but tons of alternate lines
Glad you and the bike are good 👍🏽🙏🏽
Personally I like to ride with a water bottle in the cage, there’s nothing wrong with a water pack but that’s what I prefer, I have been taking my Trek Marlin 5 through some pretty bumpy tracks and the water bottle never falls out. Anyways love the vid!❤️
I've been switching between an osprey Raptor 14 hydration pack an Evoc hip pack this year because I switched to a full-face helmet for the added protection/peace of mind. using the hoses so I don't have to take off the helmet. Before the full face just used the hip pack and caried a couple of water bottles and some tools and snacks. i got used to the extra weight. Once I start riding and focusing on the trail, I don't really notice the backpack.
Been thoroughly enjoying these videos man, you're a really fun guy to watch, also really respect you not going all out on a super expensive bike, the mtb community really seems to make it seem like you need a $5000 bike to have fun but shredding on these budget bikes is just as fun and they're really capable for the majority of stuff for us casual riders who have no intentions of racing Enduro or downhill.
This is NOT a budget bike at all! This bike brand new is just under 3k $2,722 is what I spent out the door
Well done. I'm glad you are okay!
Bottle cage because I don't carry anything on my back anymore and your Trecks got 2 mounts as well.
I've got one on order and I'm going to try not to take it straight out and stack it, but no promises,
I put cold water bottles (e.g. Aquafina) in the "cold area" of my backpack where a bladder would go. Keeps 'em nice 'n cool. Sometimes I may move one of them to the bottle cage if it's especially hot out. Good job on the 'external view' shots, btw! The low-view from the bike is awesome! Sorry about the crash, glad it was low speed and you aren't hurt. It's part of the sport. I went riding with a friend two days ago who hadn't ridden in years and he managed a low speed crash in soft dirt and broke two ribs. Might be related to him being 67. Ugh. But we got him fixed up.
Damn! Hope everything is okay. And i really do like bottles over backpack. I get rashes on my shoulders from the straps
I used to debate the whole bottle or pack. Now, i just have the pack all set, multi tool, tube, first aid kit🤣. Fill up the bladder and throw in a couple protein bars and I'm good to go. That was some techy stuff glad you and the bike are okay. I had a similar crash over some roots the other day, not my finest moment but we ride on. 🤣
I have a Dakine around the waist pack that can hold two water bottles. I also have on bottle on the Honzo.
I really like how some hardtails have room for two water bottles in frame. I have two of the side loading Specialized cages on my M size Cannondale Beast of the East and on 1-2 hour rides if I've hydrated properly I beforehand I can get away with that amount of water. On longer rides sometimes I loop back to my car to refill depending on the network. I like cargo type bike shorts (or with multiple pockets) and XC style bib under shorts with the rear pockets. Look at Specialized SWAT bibs for an example. If I can find a water source partway through a ride, it's possible for me to go more or less all day with tools and snacks etc stashed on my frame, and on jersey and shorts without a pack.
I used to carry a CamelBak all the time but now I'd rather go smaller waist pack with bottles on frame. On a full day ride I could theoretically have two bottles on frame and two more in my waist pack.
Hydration pack for me. It’s easier for me to drink than using a bottle
I'm really enjoying your content. I live in Denver and just got my first MTN bike, a polygon d7. I've only ridden mayhem gulch in Golden so far. Any recommendations for easier/beginner-ish trails?
Thank you! I would recommend green mountain, matthews park and three sisters
Thinking about moving to your area in Colorado. What’s the best industry to pursue in that area and also decent neighborhoods? Thanks so much love your videos.
Water, depends on how hot it is outside. I don’t like the pack on really hot days.
I think the bike is capable for that that trail and those features. I think crashing comes down to understanding your own limits and bike limits on the different features.
Now your bike has many awesome battle scars to tell.
Hey Matty, great test of the roscoe 9! How you finding it and anything you’d like to upgrade? I prefer to run a camel back on a hip pack compared to a bottle. If I’m doing a long day in the saddle I’ll also bring bottle with electrolytes mixed in. Great video!
Thank you! The only thing I would upgrade so far is the slx shifter
I put electrolytes in the bottle and water in the pack. Rocky stuff can be fun and scary at the same time
Hydration pack BUT mountain biking specific. Hiker packs no good. I like to use my frame mounts for gadgets and gizmos. Repair kit etc
