    Yeah ive outfitted a few customers touring bikes with kick stands, the one he had was shit, so its good he took it off. Instead you want one that can support the weight, and that folds and/or swivels out of the way so it wont rub against the chain when its not in use. There r double foor kick stands that can do this. The one mckenzie had doesnt do this and it should not have been on that bike. I myself use single a foot kick stand on my touring bike, you just gotta baby them when under heavy loads. Double foot kick stands are nice for doing road side repairs cause it lifts up the front or the back of the bike for ya.

It can actually cut DEEP into your body and when you pull it out, it'll take the chunk of flesh INSIDE the bar out with it. Basically how core samples work. Closing up the end or the bar avoids that. The force gets spread over a bigger area and you don't have the thin metal (or carbon) ring that can easily cut into you. After all, you REALLY don't need much force to break skin.

    That front rack is inadequate, safety wise, with supporting the weight of those two front panniers. If that metal tab to the fork crown cracks, which could very well happen riding across the country, the rack and the panniers can swing forward and he will be flying over his handlebars. Without changing front racks, to the very least get him to loop a thick zip-tie around the rack to the fork crown. It will be at least be a safety leash in case of rack tab failure.

The person was selling a 2016 norco sight A2 for a quite a good deal, drove over to the guys house, took it for a quick ride on the street. In the add, and when he was talking to me online, he forget to mention that the bike has been sitting a garage since 2017, had 0 service since then, and that the rear shock was seized. After finding that out, I didn’t want anything else to do with the bike, and since he wasn’t ready to lower the price since “nothing was wrong”, I backed out. Who knows what else was wrong with that bike. Also both break rotors where bent.

    I'd take a bike sitting in a garage unused for four years over a bike ridden to death over that time period. Plus, it was a 2016, so that means it was only used for a year before being put in the garage; sounds like the perfect bike. Sitting doesn't hurt a bike. It definitely doesn't cause a shock to "seize" or anything. Bent rotors? So? Bend 'em back. Steel is VERY forgiving. The biggest issue with ANY used bike purchase is buying stolen. This is the #1 problem. Buying stolen bikes only encourages the thieves and keeps bike theft alive and well.

    I've got the non-disc version. In a 58, it weights something like 15kg before you put racks on it. Then, it's such thick steel, that it only really comes to life once you hang 30-40kg of luggage off of it. It's just rigid the rest of the time. Still totally in love with it. I did a big road tour on it years ago but now it serves as a all-road/gravel commuter. Very versatile machines.

    As a bike shop mechanic, wrapping bar tape is generally done from bottom to top, but as long as you have the bottom part pushed into the bar (with the bar end), and the tape is tightly wound around the bar to the top of the bar and taped, this basically makes no difference. So, NO problem there! Great Job!!

    Yo Seth! If you remember, I'm the cross-country bicycle tourist you met at the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival earlier this year. I ended up taking an Amtrak home just a couple weeks later due to the coronavirus. After riding Sedona, I'm totally hooked on mountain biking, and I'm just waiting for the day a decent mountain bike is back in stock anywhere so I can start exploring my local trails. Anyways, I was pretty surprised to see a touring bike show up at Berm Peak, so I figured it was a great opportunity to give you an update on my trip. I hope your ankle makes a quick recovery, and I wish Mackenzie the best of luck on the rest of his adventure!

    Oh man those handlebars need to be re-wrapped so badly... they ain't gonna last for too long. Look at the videos from your friends at ParkTool - they have a really detailed video on how to do it properly. And the guy might want to re-consider that stand... especially since the bike is weighting so heavy with all that stuff on it. When stopping somewhere for a break, having the bike to stand rather than lean it on the ground is so much better...

    Kick stands on loaded touring bikes are a one way ticket to breaking a chainstay. Lean it against a tree/wall, or put a pedal down and lean it on a curb. If you *need* a kickstand (you don't), buy one that connects to the rear hub.

    @@zachschmidt7417 Not where that kick stand was mounted... that won't break anything. Look again at it. That is actually a very good point to mount a kick stand on a loaded touring bike - midway, V stand. As for the needing one... each to its own. Depending on your physical condition, especially your lower back, kick stands are very beneficial - much more preferable than lifting dead weight of the ground - you won't find trees or curbs everywhere you go - especially if you are truly touring and you end up in the middle of nowhere... Another benefit of having a kick stand like that on a touring bike - if you have to do any repairs on your bike, is much more preferable and easier to have it standing than on the ground or upside down (when you have to remove everything from it and then put it back once you are done). Those who have toured truly, days and weeks on end, they know what I am talking about.

    Wrapping the handlebar top to bottom would cause the tape to come off over time as it’s used. Also, the direction which you wrapped it on the top bar should be forwards to back as your hand’s natural direction would be to twist towards yourself instead of twisting away from you.

  • @fearlang

    I used to wrap my bars that way, but it tends to peel back from your hand. I start at the bar end, and tape by the neck. That's why they have the tape included.

    About the bar tape (I'm mostly a roadie, rather than an MTB guy): The most common way of wrapping the bars is going from the bottoms up, and when viewed from the back, the right hand side is wrapped clockwise on the drops. (mirrored on the left hand side) After reaching the brake levers, you perform a figure 8, which will revert the rotation for the tops. The reason for going from the bottoms up, is that this way the ridges of the tape's overlaps will always point in the direction where you are pushing, so you can't tear them, or otherwise make them loosen up. The direction of rotation is also important, as while gripping the bars you tend to twist them as if you were revving a motorbike. If the rotation of the tape is not matching your revving motions, it will loosen itself. And reverting the rotation with the Figure 8 is important, as the revving motion is reverted in respect of the bar itself, depending on if you are holding the tops or the drops.
