badge one is a great hack
And you can use it with a hydration pack too.
#5 is so cool! You saved the best for last. 👍
Of course, had to save the best for last to keep you on the edge of your seat!
I am so going to use the badge hack! Nice one
Awesome! Enjoy!
Good stuff. Subscribed. Good luck with the channel!
Thank you so much. Your support really helps.
For anyone cutting or dremelling carbon, please for the love of god wear a mask so you don't inhale carbon fiber. For real.
Yes.
Great ideas and video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I have more of this planned. Stay tuned.
I do bike touring with an e- bike. It’s interesting to see the different ideas for the different types of bikes in different types of biking. I saw your link in Reddit so that brought me here.
Nice. I have some ideas for some E-Bike content in the future. The idea of e-bikepacking is intriguing with a new level of challenges and opportunities.
Love this ! Great hacks !
Thank you Richard. I plan to share many more.
Bonus hack has a better solution, camelback has some magnets that are for there bagpacks/tube and they clip nice on the straps of a feed bag so if you use 2 feed bags you have 2 straps to magnet them on and loop over your handelbar !
Definitely. Though I prefer the badge holder because I can just drop the house rather than line up the magnets.
Some of the higher quality bags you don't have to have a strap for I have a 7 try 7 stealth top tube bag on my bike that has a semi rigid shell it does not have to have any straps just two bolts in the top tube very clean
As it should be. Tailfin is the only bag I knew if that designed it correctly.
Would be neat to see some of your epic gravel routes documented. Background music sometimes is distracting. Great videos!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. That should be doable. So many rides. :)
Hack 1 get good seat wont ever need chaff cream the rest of the hacks are very good ps use a magnet for hose it works great
Every butt is different. Find what works for you. I prefer the badge holder as it allows me to just drop the hose. A magnet requires that little extra step to put the hose in the right spot.
@@TroyOnTrails try a infinity seat you see
Do you have the 3d print file for the top tube bag stiffener posted somewhere?
You bet. You can find it here: www.tinkercad.com/things/4OypnId7FOd-revelate-mag-tank-internal-stabilizer
@@TroyOnTrails thanks!
More hacks please. These were all genuine, practical hacks.
I definitely have more planned. I have a pretty long list of hacks coming.
#3. A+ Product name
I think I'll use that for my next video title. ;)
The background music is too loud
Thank you for the feedback. I'm working to improve with each video.
promoting single use plastic, buying brand new handle bar to trash a large proportion of it, cutting carbon fiber without proper safety methods, sorry friend, this is rather bodge for me
I'm always willing to learn. Beyond glasses and a mask, what are "propper safety methods" for carbon?
You can get antichafe cream in stick form
I've personally never been a fan. But certainly a more packable form factor.
@@TroyOnTrails That purple stuff is gross. Assos creme is the only way.
