The Rig. 🛸

Some folks have been asking me what I took to Europe for my recently finished 3 week fast packing tour across Spain, France, and western Italy with .

Well here it is:

Specialized Crux Frameset 61cm
Custom Enve Ag 25 wheels laced to Dt swiss 240 hubs S-Works Pathfinder tyres
S-Works Mirror Romin evo saddle
50-34 Dura-Ace stages 🫣 power meter cranks
Arundel mandible carbon cages
Xtr 11-40 cassette
Shimaño Grx 11 spd Di2 shifting
XTR Xc Pedals
Enve AR bars, stem, and seatpost
Apidura 9l rear and mini racing frame bag
Ornot handlebar bag

I just put my saddle bag with toolkit in the frame bag and when we got to our home bases would just detach the rear and front packs and run the mini frame bag and saddle bag and still have big storage without the weight.

Rapha Explorer T-shirt
Quick dry hybrid Prana shorts
3 Rapha pro team socks (shoulda had a wool one)
1 Exofficio sport underwear
Enlightened Equipment Torrid jacket
Packable towel (not worth bringing next time)
GoPro stuff with extra battery
Toiletries
Front and rear Lights

Also yes that's a big purple luffa. Gotta have some comfort items 😎

Overall I'm really happy with my setup this time around and would only change a few things. I'd really want to have a large waterproof dyneema front handlebar bag (my passport got soaked), a set of wool socks, and possibly a super light train bike bag.

Current vanlife expedition with . It's great to get out of the Tucson heat and check out what mountain biking Big Bear Lake has to offer.

After off roading for a while (lol) we found a really awesome spot in blm land where we could camp for free.

Day one was a super chill xc warmup day with today being Snow Summit bike park. Check my stories for some footage.

It was one of the funnest days ever riding a bike!

Crushing climb up to Pipeline trail nearby Monterey, CA.

Definitely worth it as the descent was epic!
