What are some other things you learned the hard way bikepacking?? In reference to comments on the toe cage pedals.

Agreed, adding that in the mtn west, or deserts, there is often miles of hikeabike. I use Flats, and running shoes. There is a neat article titled, "The Shoes Ruse" by Grant Peterson at Rivendell bikes that discusses a few ergonomics and repetitive motion studies on the pedal stroke of professional cyclists. I switched to Flats and toured across the U.S. twice using them on a touring bike. Along with a GDMBR ride at a slow touring pace.
Good tips! Personally I prefer to use two way pedal (one side cleat, other side flat). Many shoes makers produce good cleat shoes that also good for hiking too. This combination has been perfect for me for all terrains.
Actually there is no scientific comprobation that an human being can consciously apply in a efficient manner both forces with the front muscle of one thigh and the back muscle of the other thigh (can't name them, english is not my first language, sorry). So, or you're pushing your legs, or you're pulling them while making an exercise. Not both. Anyway, you can simply use a flat pedal, no need for a toestrap. That said, I agree that it is much better to go without clipless pedals for bikepacking. For the lube matter: just transfer some portion to a smaller flask, no need to buying a new lube. For everything else, 100% with you! Also, loved tour channel and subscribed!
Honestly that's not the benefit of clipless pedals. It's the fixed foot position and attachment to the bicycle itself that allow you to stop stabilizing and adjusting your feet on the pedals and go into maneuvers with complete confidence in your riding position. Subjectively it is obvious to anyone who has ridden them that it improves your handling and overall ability. I agree however that it doesn't really matter that you can get a bit of force on the upstroke. its an insignificant amount if anything. I prefer them in every case and would look to get a hiking shoe with mtb cleats before switching to toe cages/straps, personally!
My Grandfather rode around Hell Hay and Booligal NSW Australia in the 1920's & 30's riding from shed to shed as a shearer , single speed bike with a loop of rope under the seat to hold a swag on (bedroll in a canvas sheet), it was bent over and tied onto the stays. A waterbag was strapped in the triangle and another swag tied from the handlebars over the front forks. Any other equipment was tied or strapped on such as a 22 rifle for shooting rabbit dinners, sheep shears for working, Billycan for tea and cooking. Things were basic back then but that beat walking.
Great tips thank you. I avoid cleats so that I can move my foot to different positions and vary the muscle groups for uphill and downhill pedalling etc. Avoids cramps. I also like a decent pair of shoes with a full tread for hike a bike.
Some great tips Platform flat pedals without clips work the best for me in rugged terrain. Lower air pressure compared to what? I add more air in my tires compared to when I am not bikepacking.
Haven't tried them, but there are Power Straps, a wide diagonal strap across your shoe. A cross, really, of clip less and toe straps. Heel away from bike to release tension and get foot off pedal.
I actually felt that your points were valid, and well thought out! I’m a backpacker, relatively new to bikepacking. The gloves? I am sure that I would have forgot those, as I live in New England, I can see where a morning descent would cause me and my hands some problems. Bravo-Zulu, well done on a straight forward “well worth watching” video! I promise, I won’t ignore!
There is an old school saying about cycling that I'll recall for you, "Bicycling is a contact sport, sooner or later you will contact the pavement". That one is from road racing in the 1980's, I keep in mind today because off-road crashes are worse.
Thanks!! Now I have to figure out what bike. Im tired of my 14 yr old fuji road bike. I want to try BikePacking very bad, but just not sure where to start with a bike. Considering the Prority 600x but that's a lot of cash. Like the thought of low maintenance.
You must watch Ryan VanDuzer! Haha. Yeah I LOVE my Haanjo 3...it's not a mountain bike but it has been performing flawlessly for me. I'm taking it on the Oregon Outback route in a few weeks here. bit.ly/40osGWv
I've used the downhill speed to remove stuck on mud before, worth pointing out that make sure have your goggles/ glasses on when doing this as you will get fast moving lumps of mud flung up at you at speed in all sorts of directions!
The best thing I did was to replace the saddle with a brooks leather saddle makes such a difference. Don't need padded shorts or lycra gear and wear Marino underwear
You should try spd pedals with Shimano sh56 multi release cleats … I was hating normal „side“ release cleats and found out that multi release cleats are absolutely awesome for mountain biking (Bikepacking too!).
Well if replacing spoke trailside on a bike with tubes you take it out fix spoke reinstall tube with a tubeless you fix spoke and just have to run a tube....worse case you are in the same place after you fix the spoke.... with my tire rim combo on my trip bike I can re seat a tubeless tire with my frame pump
sorry but toestrap pedals is just really bad advice and just invites injury in the middle of nowhere. Just get spd + shoes that are good for hike-a-bike. Also looks like you're cycling in cotton hoodie???
I don't think it's bad advice - it's simply a preference. In mountain terrain I'd rather have my trail runners paired with pedals instead of walking around on a shoe with a cleat pocket in the middle of it...especially riding (and walking) in places like the Sierra Nevada. But maybe one day I'll get clipless and my mind will change. And everyone knows that cotton kills in the backcountry bro, c'mon....
@@ChadLubinski I've walked up volcanoes and hiked through jungle in my SPD boots - no cycling involved, but these boots are so comfy [my SPD shoes too] I can wear them all day on or off bike. Don't look like bike shoes either. Toe Straps are last century tech and harder to get out of than clipless, which is basically instant. Never not been able to get a foot down in near 30 years of using them. Plus toe straps can actually trap your foot in the them and be quite dangerous, I'm speaking from personal experience here. So yes bad advice I'm afraid.
I have to agree with Mr. Lawrence... I'm afraid. As an experienced LBS mechanic, mountain biker, and bikepacker... I have to agree that clips with straps, especially with the strap buckles tightened, are very dangerous and risky to promote. An alternative would be a Strapless Toe Clip. It looks the same, bolts up the same, but is shorter and has no strap or strap eyelet. They allow you to move your foot out, as well as back. However, the other issue with toe clips is they make the pedal unbalanced and then hang down, which creates a pedal strike potential. This is why most mountain bike pedals worth their salt are dbl. sided, for balance and ease of not looking down to flip. Also, I personally run SPD SH-56 multi release cleats. I've had to play around with tightening up my pedal springs to keep them secure, but you have more ways out versus just twisting your heel outwards. I also wear Pearl Izumi AlpX Summit shoes, which are basically really comfortable hiking shoes that happen to have an SPD cleat tucked underneath. I have absolutely no issues hik-a-biking. Just food for thought. It's always better to promote safe preferences, and if you prefer unsafe preferences, then don't promote... or at least disclaim. You never know who is watching.
Ya I'll stick to flats, plenty of studies showing that clipless really only start to show any major benefits other than constant foot position during sprints. And if your toe straps are as tight as they should be they are harder to get out of than spds.
ordinary english bracket. loose ball bearings. 1, will run a ball short on either side = 2 spares. 2, field servicable with a sharp rock and a round rock. 3, field findable; discarded bikes of the cheap variety are teeming with 1/4" BBs, axles, cups, cones, pedals, chainrings.
Toestrap peddles? Terrible advice! Those things are SUCH a bad compromise. If you knew how to set up clipless pedals, you'd never make that suggestion.
Thanks for the video man, planning my first bikepacking trip this year and this was helpful. I also just started my own RUclips Channel and it looks like we're into similar stuff. Subscribed to see what you come out with next!
Alt-flat bars are superior to obsolete drop-bars; i run Moloko bars. To make up that 4 to 5 percent loss of efficiency on flats，just use your calves more, keep your heels up when climbing/on flat or rolling sections, and make sure you're in the proper-feeling gear. Toe-clips and dangerous and obsolete and clipless you get hotspots plus can ruin your knees if you don't know how to properly adjust them. There's no real advantage either; really can't feel the difference in the real world. Also, it's nice to be able to wear shoes i can comfortably walk in off the bike (love my RC Live-Wires). Agree with the tubeless idea and the evils of peanut-butter mud Or it's evil cousin in Northern Nevada (heavy, sticky, slippery clay). No tire is made for said entity for any vehicle.
I run Jones Bars and couldn’t agree more. I started on clips but yeah I would not go back to them, I broke so many on technical trails. The only advantage of clipless to me is the consistent position. If they are dialed in that is nice. But… yeah I love being able to run any shoe you want. I wear Tevas in the warmer months. Also if your shoe/pedal combo is grippy then you feel clipped in. You can still pedal circles.
@@yves78 I'll ride in Tevas only in town during the summer; Tevas and trails are a recipe for disaster and intense foot pain(!). Can't tell you how many times the reinforced toe box in my platform pedal shoes saved my toes from rock-strikes in tight, rocky singletrack. Rode clipless for a long time but, when i rediscovered platform pedals, the comfort, convenience, and versatility converted me. I could walk like a normal human being into a store or not 'stiff-walk' like you do with racing hard-soled cleats hike-a-biking. Being able to do a winter ride with snow boots is a huge plus too(!). Also, there's only a teeny advantage gained with clipless; 5% at best... It's just been an evergreen like drop-bars that's been blindly accepted and Assumed unscientifically to be more efficient/aerodynamic for the last umpteen decades and may god spare the apostate that says otherwise in roadie/gravel/CX-land. I got into a mile-long argument with some deluded roadie who was defending rim-brakes and claiming hydraulic disc-brakes were a gimmick to pickpocket cyclist solely; this is the same crowd that will defend drop-bars and clipless to their dying day... [They probably race in skin-suits at a cross-country race and think that garment shaved seconds off their time along with their shaved legs...😆]
For some of us, clipless can cause knee issues which are no fun miles into the back country, I tried them but ouch - I'll stick with flats and shoes that get a good grip on the pedels and the ground and floors. Clay - have one local puddle that even dirt bikes avoid/go around. Peanutbutter mud - claw the worst off that cakes up (you're getting dirty anyway) - yes, speed downhill can get interesting with chunks flying. Drop bars vs flat bars to me it depends on what kind of trails you are riding and what the majority of the trail/route consists of.
toestrap pedals are outdated because it's quicker to unlock SPD or race pedals, therefore SPDs waaaay are safer, that's why nobody uses toestraps anymore.
Hmm, that's interesting. How easy is it for a beginner to unlock the SPDs? Does it take some time getting used to? I definitely think I'd like them for gravel touring, but idk on something like the Tahoe Twirl (Sierra Nevada). Another reason I also like toe strap pedals is because I regularly commute on my gravel bike and don't want to wear special shoes when I can just wear my regular ones!
@@ChadLubinski you can get spd pedals that have a spd clip one side and then a flat pedal on the other side, game changer for me, means i can wear cycling shoes for tours and then regular trainers to the shops,,,, also spd is probably one of the more beginner friendly clipless systems but will take a few rides to get used too
I disagree with you on tubeless tires. I put tubeless tires on my MTB. I often have to top them up. I’ve had two flats on my tubeless set up. One of these flats could not be fixed on the trail and the cut was large enough that I had to replace the tire.

toe straps are harder to get out of than clipless, if not your pedals aren't tensioned right
I agree. Toe straps are incredibly difficult to get in and out. I find more times if someone falls it’s because of toe straps and not clipless.
