Thanks :) I read it somewhere and it really does the trick!

Use Loctite on everything before a tour. Use a shower cap over your helmet in the rain keeps your head warm and dry. It also doubles as a leather saddle cover at night. If you plan to stay at a campground never use the nearest ATM machine. We did that in northern Greece, got followed back to camp and got robbed. Use the ATM in the morning instead when you leave. Carry some beef jerky in your handle bar bag. If a dog('s) give chase toss one or two. Most of the time they'll stop to eat and you can get away.

This is by far the best video on the tool kit I've ever seen. Good tips and perfect balance between being well prepared and light weight. One thing I like to add are zip ties. Ive had numerous oddball mishaps where they saved the day, including a broken front rack. Love the tire levers that double as chain pliers and will take an old sock on my next tour. We're scheduled to tour Mexico for a couple of months.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I use my handlebar to store my spokes (I don´t use drop downs). For me it is easier not to remove the seatpost in case. For pliers and wrench in one I use a small Knipex pliers. They can hold and twist all nuts and bolts perfectly, and it is small and light. Anyway I do not need verry much tools because my Rohloff hub don´t need much maintanance.

Some nice ideas How do you use the cassette tool? AND how do you use it without a shifting spanner? I have two tips that might be of interest to you - well, one won't be if that cassette tool works! So, cyclo cone spanners are lightweight, if you carry a pair they also work as pedal spanners if you use two held together I use the regular nut like cassette tool, it looks like yours but doesn't have a lug - be nice to see how that works! However I avoid carrying a chain whip by using a park bench - yes, I carry a park bench, they're light weight and easy to pack! Sorry, couldn't resist It goes like this, you just need something about the height of a seat that you can hold your back wheel on top of, so the right rock will do. Take the wheel off stand the bike upside down next to the rock/bench with the gear side facing it. Hold the rear wheel with the cassette about the middle of the chain stay and the gear side pedal resting on the tyre, loop the chain around the cassette on anything larger than your middle gear, now as you turn the cassette bolt anticlockwise the chain pulls the pedal against the tyre, so it's locked and you can unscrew, this works fine and doesn't hurt anything or require that you remove the chain But you do need a bench Thanks for the vid

I don't use multi-tool because of the lack of reach. Way too many screws out of reach because of the bulkiness and short length of the bits. But it all depends on the type of bike and how much you are willing to fix on the road.

@WheelstoWander

2 жыл бұрын

I agree that the multitool is a compromise. Shop tools are awesome and they let you work with more ease and efficiency. With this multitool I can reach every bolt on the bike and although not as handy as dedicated tools, the weight and functionality wins over bulkiness and weight of full size tools. No right or wrong here ;)

Great video as always guys. That Nbt2 tool is so handy - probably one of the best touring specific tools I've used and worth every penny! I'm surprised you change your chains quite so often. What about carrying a chain wear guage? Me and my partner have been touring for a little over a year now. I've been changing our chains once they get to 0.5% wear on a chain wear guage (about 2500km on average for a 9spd chain on a loaded tourer) and have been able to get 12000+km from the same chainrings and cassette without any slippage. I changed it all out recently, but could have continued fitting new chains too. My point being, you may be able to double the lifespan of each chain before discarding them by using a chain wear guage. Leading on, chain lube makes a massive difference to chain longevity. I used to use a wax solution lube too. My chain stayed nice and clean but wore much faster than with a traditional wet lube, even though my chain looked filthy in comparison! What made me switch was some great lube comparisons online. They show the huge difference in wear rates between brands which I found really useful for getting the maximum life out of my drive train. Furthermore, I'm surprised you guys don't carry the tools to service your cup and cone hubs? (At least I think you use cup and cone!) Do you get that done at bike shops or do you just fit and forget?

@WheelstoWander

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ross! The NBT2 is indeed gram for usefulness one of the best things you can have in a toolset. By changing the chain about every 1000 km's there is no need to gauge and everything will wear equal. I did 20.000+ km's with the cassette and chainrings ( 8spd ) only changing out 2 new chains at about 15.000 km's and some new derailleur wheels. What kind of lube do you use and do you have a link to the online comparison? Always great to learn some useful info :) Yes, we have cup and cone on our hubs/axles. Only one time it needed to be fixed when a rattle started in my rear wheel. It's not an instant disaster and probably manageable to ride to some bigger city where someone can fix it for you. I would possibly take the ball bearings over the tools and see in situ how to fix it. Experience does come in handy and I have done it several times before ;) Thanks for sharing, Eric

@@WheelstoWander Hi Eric, thanks for your response. I realise now that I misunderstood what you meant in the video. I had understood that you were installing NEW chains every 1000km, not rotating between the same 2 used ones. It's useful to hear how long rotation worked for you. I decided against rotation, as I was worried that installing increasingly worn chains would wear out my drive prematurely, as the chainrings and cassettes would still become as worn as the 2 chains. Also, with the global bike part shortage, I didn't want to get stuck with a slipping drive and unable to find suitable replacements - hence why I chose to keep putting on new chains. There just isn't much information out there to say how long that works for, so hearing your numbers is really helpful and it sounds like 2 chains would likely be plenty to do a long-haul trip! Your experience definitely gives me something to think about as its a more inexpensive method. The video was referring to was by a channel called Simply Mountain Biking. They did various tests in a showdown format to determine the effectiveness of some popular chain lubes. I was very surprised that some of the wax lubes were hardly better at preventing wear than a dry chain! Of course, this may not be the case with your brand. Right now I'm using a Motorex Wet Lube, as it was all that was available when I finished my previous lube. It makes things very dirty, which I don't like, even with a sparing application and daily cleaning. However, the chain I lubricated with Motorex lasted the longest yet, which is a major plus. Admittedly, I can't be totally sure if that was just the lube or other factors like better weather, but I don't feel the weather was drastically better. Who knows? My partner would likely agree that I probably worry too much about hubs. From my years in the bike shop, I've found that, by the time the hub is rattling, the races are often (but bit always!) damaged in some way. Usually from contamination than pure wear. Furthermore, Its not always easy to find compatible or quality parts on the road and some cones are very specific. So, for me, regular hub maintenance gives me peace of mind. I do envy your approach as it would rid myself of some tools and weight! Thanks again for taking the time to reply and keep up the great work!
