Seems to be a great setup! Best of luck and I hope you will not have to use the stuff too much. One little advise I have being a long time user of Ortlieb back and front roller (I think the gravel pannier use the same mounting system an nuts and bolts): bring some extra bolts and nuts and add some screw lock liquid. And you will most definitely loose those clips to adapt to your rack width. I taped little parts of an old inner tube to the rack to keep the mounts in place. An old inner tube or a part of it could be a valuable addition to your repair kit. Costs nothing, weighs next to nothing, but can be helpful to put between moving parts that are not supposed to move. And I bring a few velcro reusable zip ties a long the way
Thanks for the helpful information. I've already put blue threadlocker on the Ortlieb bags. It will be interesting to see how all of the gear wears over the years. Cheers!
Didn't see any wrenches or pliers. I like the Knipex Pliers-Wrench in 125mm size. They perform the roles of adjustable wrenches as well as pliers. Good not just for undoing nuts, but also for removing foreign objects that have pierced through the tire, or to pull needles through tires while you are sewing them, etc.
For 7 years i used tubeless but switch back to tubes 2 years ago due to one thing had to replace 2 broken spoken on the trail middle of no where and it was a mess sealant everywhere lol i happy now with tubes but i😅 bombproof my wheels no punctures in 2 years
Sounds like a solid wheelset. All the gear gets a lot more wear and tear with so much weight. It'll be cool to see how I adapt after the first few months.

I look forward to watching your adventures 😊
Thank you. Hoping to take few days of rest here soon so I can start to sort through photos and videos.

What's your opinion on tire slime
I run tubeless with 8oz of Stans No Tubes tire sealant. I've not had a good experience with the brand Time Slime.
@@cyclingkindness I wanna try tubeless I'll try it on my bike
Who makes the tent you used?
It’s the Hilleberg Nallo 2.
Ah, I have that floor pump, the grease inside dries up.. operating it, the o ring rubs on the inside and destroys itself. Keep it greased.
Absolutely. I love how easy they are to service.
Good luck Indiana
Thank you! I can't wait to start riding my bike in just 2 days!!!
