Very keen to get out bike packing and videos like yours are fantastic for giving me the motivation to do so (depending on when our ridiculous lockdown in the UK lifts, that is). Subscribed for more! All the best :)

    Hi! Big thumps up luxembourg. I have a question concerning your focus mares. How does it compare to the paralane you have been riding before in terms of ride feel? I'm looking for a gravel bike with road-bike-like feel on the road, not something too lazy or sluggish handlingwise. Why didn't you go for a propper gravel bike? Thanks for your feedback. Keep the vids coming, ciao.

    • @Fernwee
      @Fernwee  4 года назад +1

      I think the Mares is pretty good on the road as well, really feels like a fast and racey bike, more so than ‘standard’ gravel bikes I think, because CX has a more aggressive geometry than gravel usually.

  • @arthurhollants6635
    @arthurhollants6635 4 года назад

    (A beginner question) it seems that bikepackers don't take any locks with them. How do you make sure your bikes aren't stolen while you are sleeping?

    • @Fernwee
      @Fernwee  4 года назад +1

      I usually bring a lock, but if you’re really remote maybe you dont need one?

    • @rainbowlable
      @rainbowlable 4 года назад +1

      just thread a guy line of your tent through the spokes of your bike. as soon as some one tries to remove it, you'll notice! :) however, a very small cable lock or a hiplok z-lock can be quite useful especially for quick supermarket stops if you're on your own.
