I learned a great tip from your video. I didn't know on the DT Swiss 350 hubs that the cassette could be removed by hand. That is huge for a bike adventurer.
Picked up a Fargo today can't wait for it to arrive and get dialed in. Loved this video and the fact that you fit in some good lifehack/tips. Much love!
Thanks Henry - really informative and some great ideas. The spokes stored in the seat tube is genius! Been thinking about buying a Fargo so this was very helpful.
Love my 2018 Fargo. I've thought about "replacing" it with something newer but I can't let it go. There is no bike out there as versatile, Maybe the Ritchey Ascent. I've ridden over 6000 kilometers on mine and just completed the Baja Divide. Love it.
Well that is absolute Gold!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do the “show and tell”. That will be so useful to my wife and I going forward. Howard & Bec
Great detailed video, thanks. I am considering a Fargo now! Where did the description with all the bike part details go, that you mentioned in the summary? I can't seem to find it...
This is such a good looking and thoughtful build. I really appreciate the experience informed packing decisions, such as implimenting multiple dry bags and a harness-based packing system(s), as well as the long-distance comfort-based decisions like the unique handlebar and the 2.6 tires. I am a mountain biker wondering about getting into bikepacking, so i also apprreciate you recommending a couple specific products.
Lots of good ideas here. Thank you. I love all your bikepacking videos. From my learning, on my own bikepacking setup, I think your advice on where to pack different items is the best part of your videos. I have a second bottle cage on the non-drive-side of my rear stays, and your comment in the video about it making it harder when you lay the bike down really rings true to me. I may even remove mine.
I've really enjoyed the comfort and simplicity of my Fargo w 4 panniers on the road. When I've ventured to include bumpy jeep roads,the changes needed are obvious. Thank you for excellent info on set up,including large frame bag . Happy trails to you !😊
Henry, thank you, this was so well done like all your videos. I found the bags part very helpful as my partner and I plan our bag setup. Agree with you about the convenience of the harness approach. Would you consider doing a short video about what you pack in each bag? I think viewers would really appreciate it.
Thanks, glad I could help :) I don't know if it would help a lot because the items are still to this day not settled and shifted around.. also Moni and I share lots of the gear, which makes things more tricky.
Danke für das Setup-Video. Habe selber nen Breezer Radar X Pro. Ist ebenfalls ein absolutes Allroad-Bike. Aber den Salsa-Rahmen finde ich mega spannend. Vorallem die SRam 12-Fach ist natürlich der Knaller!!! Macht weiter so!! LG
Thank you for the very helpful detail regarding your bag selection and details! Very well done. I love my Fargo. I run the Rholoff and Magura four piston hydraulic brakes with the same tires you mentioned, stellar go everywhere, do everything set up!
Vermutlich ließt du das nicht, aber ich hab jetzt seit 2 Wochen mein Salsa Fargo und dein Video war entscheidend für meine Entscheidung :-P Vielen Dank! Bin direkt nach Meran und mit meinem Papa eine Woche in Trentino Bikepacken gewesen. Es ist mein absolutes Traumrad ❤❤
I am glad I saw this video because in another one I suggested you guys to get oval chainring but it looks like you beat me to the punch. Nice set up for the bike. The only thing I would personally try to add or change is the fork. You can choose one with no more than 120mm and one you can lock for the times you don’t need it. Also, try the WTB saddles, they are great and come in a wide variety of ways to make the ride more comfortable to you. 🤙
Hi! Very good review and tips, i appreciaete! One guestion, i am 181,5cm and 87cm inseam and struggling which size is better for me, M or L. Do you have some ideas Henri?
@@jesperskovgaard8048 Jones bar is much closer reach than the original dropbar, so larger size is better combo if you go to Jones bar i think. Also you could always change stem
I just picked up a Breezer Thunder a couple months ago. Checks off most of the similar attributes that this Salsa Fargo has. Couldn't pass up the deal as the whole bike was cheaper than a Fargo frame. For now i'll just accumulate gear and enjoy the adventures. I like the idea of a small bungee to secure the top of the water bottle.
Hi Henry, schöner Aufbau. Fahre auf meinem Fargo den Ergon MTB Core als Sattel. Ich bin super zufrieden, vor allem, weil man auch auf langen Strecken eine gepolsterte Hose braucht. Es empfiehlt sich aber, sich den Abstand der Beckenknochen zu vermessen.
Sehr informativ, würde auf so langen Touren auch die mechanische Bremse bevorzugen, einen Bowdenzug bekommt man wahrscheinlich immer irgenwo her oder kann ihn notfalls mit Klemmen fixen
This is a great and very useful video, thank you! The gearlist mentioned at the end seems to have gone? I'd love to see that, if not. Thanks for the effort of doing such a valuable video!
Hi! Super fan of all your videos! Stunning adventures and incredibles images! After this video, I've rested with one doubt: which is the model of the tent that you used (and use) during your trips? Thank you very much for all your videos. Happy adventures!
Man, I just found this video and it's exactly what I was looking for, didn't even know it! I'm thinking of getting the titanium version, what do you think?
You have made a good choice. I have a Salsa Fargo from 2011. Quick release wheels and no frame link for fitting a drive belt. I transferred parts from a 2008 MTB onto the Fargo frame. My frame has the same advantages you speak of. Ability to run wide tyres gives a real go-anywhere capability. Things that are different: 3x9 drivetrain gives bigger range and faster downshifting. And the front derailleur is one of few parts never replaced. Hydraulic disk brakes are the way to go. Better performance, extremely reliable and low maintenance. And in extremis you have two of them and they are easy to replace. (Compare that with a gearbox). Flat bars are better for control and simplicity. Schrader valves are more robust and simpler that presta.
Henry, I enjoyed this. I have the Fargo with the wood chipper bars and have found the Salsa dry bag (version pre bleed valve) is too large and too difficult to compress to fit between the bars to my liking. A compression sack with a garbage bag linner has worked best. This is to ask if you feel the sea to summit Big River bag is waterproof and a good option over compression sack + garbage bag liner I have been using? Much appreciated
Did I miss the frame size? I’m looking at the Fargo and I’m 180cm and Salsa says medium for me. I had a 2017 model and it was a large and seemed to fit ok, but now that I am researching more I feel medium might be best. Thanks, great video
Hallo Henry. Tolles video! Kannst du mir erklären wie genau du den Flaschenhalter an der Sitzstrebe befestigt hast und was für Material benötigt wird? Vielen Dank im Voraus für deine Rückmeldung!
Hey Henry! Love watching your videos. Thaks for sharing your experience with the bike! I'd be interested to know which navigation app you are using on your trip :) Save travels!
bonjour Je n'arrive pas à trouver la description détaillée que vous mentionnez dans le résumé ? (site internet) Merci pour vos vidéos elles sont magnifiques surtout celle du KIRGISTAN.
Lay the wheel on the ground, get your fingers behind the largest cassette cog, and pull. It should take a decent amount of pressure to get it off, but not a huge amount. The cassette, freehub and end cap should all come off together.
So, you don't store anything that cannot get wet in the framebag? Where do you store your laptop and other electronics? And what's the reason you didn't go for the Saltyroll in combination with the Revelate handlebar harness? Because the Salsa bag has an air vent?
Nice setup. Have you ever had any thoughts on total weight or reducing weight at all? Do you think reducing the total weight by 6-7 kg make a noticable difference on hike-a-bike strethes?
I never weighted the bike to be honest, I only know that it's heavy to lift when fully loaded. On that note, I think every kilo makes a noticeable difference on hikeabikes and such... in my view there are two sides of luxury: bringing more things (like a chair for example) for comfort and so on, that's luxury...or bringing less items to have it easier while cycling in the mountains or hikeabikes or in the general handling, that's also luxury... I prefer the latter
Great setup, when my bike breaks a Fargo looks a good choice. May I ask what ferries you used between Greece and Turkey as I cant seem to find any direct routes, Cheers
С большим удовольствием посмотрел все эпизоды вашего путешествия! Это хороший велосипед и моя мечта собрать что-то похожее. Отдельно хочу поблагодарить за обзор и сайт, где можно увидеть комплектацию
Interesting. How long is the stem? I am 183 cm tall as well. I have L-size Kona Unit 2020 with higher rise Jones bar. The geo is aggressively long on the Kona, so I switched to shortest stem possible. That makes our riding position almost identical, I guess:).
Schöne Vorstellung deines Rads :) Wie empfindest du die Geometrie in Verbindung mit einem flatbar? Das Fargo ist ja eigentlich als dropbar Rad konzipiert... Spannend finde ich die Möglichkeit, einen Riemen zu verbauen und die optionalen Rohloff spezifischen Ausfallenden was es ja möglich macht einen sehr wartungsarmen Antriebsstrang zu haben. Gerade auch zum Ganzjahrespendeln finde ich das eine spannende Option. Denkst du, das Rad wäre auch geeignet als Pendel- UND Tourenrad mit etwas weniger aggressiven Reifen? Breite Reifen sind immer gut. Oder zumindest die Option dazu.
Die Geometrie ist für mich sehr angenehm, ich konnte auf jedem Untergrund fahren und dabei noch die Landschaft genießen ohne körperliche Beschwerden gehabt zu haben. Das Rad kommt ja sogar aus dem Geschäft mit 2.2 breiten Reifen, das geht schon. Schmaler würde ich jedoch nicht gehen, da verliert das Fahrrad seinen Charakter.
First step: Use a stripe of Bar tape between the frame and cage for protection, grip & vibration absorption. Second step: use at least half a role of electrical tape and wrap it around.
Hi Henry, I just built up a Salsa Fargo with Dropbars with a 1x12 drivetrain,. I want the option to move to a Jones H-Bar or Surly Moloko bar. Did you ride your bike much as a drop bar bike? If so, how much did to change your stem length when you went to the H-Bar?
Da es ja ursprünglich eine Dropbar-Geometrie hat, hattest du irgendwelche Probleme, einen Altbar zu benutzen? (Schwerpunkt oder Fahrverhalten des Rads, etc.). Habe von anderen gehört, die irgendwann Rückenschmerzen dadurch bekommen haben, weil man sich nicht genug ausstrecken konnte/ zu aufrecht sitzt

I've broken 1 spoke in 40K miles riding in the last 7 years on a heavily laden bike.
Thanks Henry - really informative and some great ideas. The spokes stored in the seat tube is genius! Been thinking about buying a Fargo so this was very helpful.
Glad I can help =)
Many thanks!. Some Teutonic precision and thoroughness on display there.
I will have watched this video 20 times to take a cue for my Fargo I like all or almost everything you set up for your trip congratulations

What a well done video👍. It was Informative, concise and creative. Thanks for the inspiration you’ve given me to upgrade some things on my bike.

Very informative and great setup tips! Thanks for sharing.
Cool vid, love the spoke hack in the seat tube!
Hyvä video.
Salsa Fargo on hieno pyörä ja hieno oli myös kattaus.
Kiitos!
Pray all is well..
Miss you both😁

Awesome =)
Henry, At the end of the video, you mention that you linked a gear list. I looked but I do not see it in the descrption. Are you able to repost it?
Hi Henry, thanks for sharing all these infos. One more question: how did you lubricate the chain while touring?
All in All. Das Fargo ist ein geiles Teil. 👍
Wow you have a really nice bike dude. Love it
Also wanted tosay:"Your videos are great!!!"
Did you have problem with reach with the change to the curved flat bar? Do you use the stock fork?
Great setup, found a good match with WTB volt saddle.
Forumslader is good choice.. been running mine for 3.5years now,
Loved your bottle cage idea, thanks!
Real nice set up. Maybe strange question but what pants and short are that, looks good, seems to be comfortable en quickly drying?

Great video Henry! Can you explain in more details how you are able to remove the cassette without tools on a DT Swiss 350 rear hub?

That is an amazing setup. I am going to be working towards something like this myself. Well done. New follower here. Crow
gorgeous bike, do you not feel the need for a suspension fork?

Hello Henry. What is the size of the RD Ranger frame bag , LG or XL, please?
Thanks for sharing! I always forget we can fit stuff in the various frame tubes :D No mudguard in front?
Hello, Henry. Can you tell me,why hadn't you chosen dropbar? It is less comfortoble for mixed conditions trips?
Interesting. How long is the stem? I am 183 cm tall as well. I have L-size Kona Unit 2020 with higher rise Jones bar. The geo is aggressively long on the Kona, so I switched to shortest stem possible. That makes our riding position almost identical, I guess:).
anything diff you needed to do swap bars since its a drop bar bike
Thank you for sharing your set up Henry!
You're welcome 🙂

How is that water bottle cage mounted to the seat stay? How do I keep it from rotating around the stay due to vibrations and gravity?
First step: Use a stripe of Bar tape between the frame and cage for protection, grip & vibration absorption.
Second step: use at least half a role of electrical tape and wrap it around.
Super Video und tolles Bike Setup! Salsa Fargo oder Bomtrack Beyond + ADV - welches ist Dein Favorit?
Merci, sind beides tolle Bikes zu ihrem Preis.
Very cool video. Being in Europe I'm surprised at how American that bike is with the Revelate bags and being a Salsa.
Did you absolutely need to carry all that?
The less you take, the more fun on the ride (and some inconveniences off the bike)
I like the way you explain with video now I have I idea thanks from Philippines.
danke für die Vorstellung. Hast du die Taschen in Deutschland gekauft? Finde aktuell nur den Shop in den USA.
Ja, in den bekannten Onlineshops sollte es die eigentlich geben
vielen Dank für das tolle Video
Hi Henry, I just built up a Salsa Fargo with Dropbars with a 1x12 drivetrain,. I want the option to move to a Jones H-Bar or Surly Moloko bar. Did you ride your bike much as a drop bar bike? If so, how much did to change your stem length when you went to the H-Bar?
I went straight for the Jones and changed the stem from 60 to 90mm
What shifters were you using with your drop bar setup to work with 1x12 drivetrain - bar end shifters?
Da es ja ursprünglich eine Dropbar-Geometrie hat, hattest du irgendwelche Probleme, einen Altbar zu benutzen? (Schwerpunkt oder Fahrverhalten des Rads, etc.). Habe von anderen gehört, die irgendwann Rückenschmerzen dadurch bekommen haben, weil man sich nicht genug ausstrecken konnte/ zu aufrecht sitzt
I find your setup very good. Have similar on my bike. Cheers!
