  • Since 2006, Jefe Branham has been tackling some of the most challenging self-supported bikepacking races out there. However, one that he’s yet to check off that list is the full Arizona Trail Race, an 800+ mile ride from Mexico to Utah. In our latest Rider & Rig video, Neil catches up with Jefe to learn about the race, his signature ‪@whycycles7848‬ El Jefe, what he’s bringing along, and how he plans on carrying his bike through the Grand Canyon.

    Jefe is a boss. Enjoyed the video and rig rundown. Nice to hear his thought process and preparation. He’s a serious masher running single speed for that race!

    On a SS, this reminds me of when I attempted a shot over night camp in the UK on a SS. I was spinning, walking and everything in between 😅 what a legend!!! Good luck 🍀

    Amazing bike - WHY cycles doesn't get enough press. I have a 2018 WHY R+: their all-road (gravel) bike - and I love it.

    Love your channel man 🤙 wanted to ask if you had any videos with handlebar bags and brake and shifter cable management? Looking to fix my daily with a handlebar bag but I don't want to kink any of my cables up..

    Great R&R video,... learned a ton. Jefe, what is your shoe choice for both riding and/or hiking?

      @BIKEPACKINGcom  Год назад

      I forgot to ask that, I’ll get him to tune in here.

    Grand Canyon was hard enough with just a 20lb pack. Gotta be brutal with an awkward 40+

    • @BIKEPACKINGcom
      @BIKEPACKINGcom  Год назад +4

      It's so painful and there is no real good way to do it, but it sounds like Jefe has actually put in more time than most. I'm impressed.

      He has a big dropper so he wants to use almost all of the travel.

    That’s a pretty cheap theft, Ventana had the el Jefe name years ago.
