That looks like a tight, well thought out set up. One question: How do you carry extra Stan’s sealant? If you need to add some do you go through the valve stem or just pop the bead and dump some in? Also no sleeping bag? Just sleep in your fleece, etc?
Thanks, I didn’t mean to put Stans sealant on there, it was more of a reminder to do before the CTR as a tuneup. Yes, no sleeping bag but i will have an Emergency bivvy that will more than likely be used as a blanket inside my Sierra Designs bivvy. The fleece is for extra warmth if needed, but if it is raining, i plan to keep riding, walking, etc to keep warm.
Exciting stuff. Look forward to keeping up with everyone this year.
What backpack are you using? No stove I see…does anyone carry a stove that you know of? Got any idea of your total weight minus what you are wearing and food/water? Thanks.
Thanks, and yes this is a lot of fun to put together. I am using a Camelbak Mule, with 100oz bladder. I dont carry a stove but not sure if anyone else is carrying one. On my first trial this June I guess weighed it around 35lbs, + or -. my backpack at times though weighed 20 + pounds and have since, redone some things.
What brand of seatbag, handlebar bag, etc are you using?
I have a Revelate Designs harness and am thinking about a Flash 29er but wonder how the harness attaches with the lefty fork. Typically you have a strap going around the head tube or frame. What did you do?
