    I was surprised to see that you've painted your custom front fender. It matched your frame color perfectly. But once I saw that it almost disappeared under the rack once painted black. I understood and appreciated your decision immediately.
    Great job !

    Nice video. Good job on your racks. The mudguard on the front rack is very nice. You have some good equipment. Ortlieb panniers and MSR tent. I shall try the Topeak front rack. I have a Kona Wo fat bike with no mounts on the forks for rack or bottle cages. Thank you for making your video.

      Thanks, it is the thick plastik used to put over powerlines that are under ground to warn anyone that are digging that there is powerlines further down, I think some electrial store might have it.

    Just bought a rear rack from a local shop and the guy even looked over my bike to make sure the rack would fit. I get home and it doesn't because my bike has no eyelets on the frame PLUS the brackets provided to compensate for that don't fit. Yikes lol

    Great video. I have orderk,ed one of those back racks. I worry about the side struts that extend, as you are relying on a screw biting into the extension rod. If you overtighten them I imagine it's easy to strip the thread. How are they holding up? Also thinking of getting the front rack, amazing you used exactly the combination I have in mind! Second question, what model are the bags?

    • @Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel
      @Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel  3 года назад

      Thanks alf red. Yes, you have to be carefull not to overtighten the screws, but luckely I dident :-) so far I it holds up very well, I have not had the need to retighten them and have been on about 20 overnight trips since. The pannies are Ortlieb 12 liters.
