    Just found your channel and binge watched the whole Baja series. About gear, it appears you guys went without a stove. Been bikepacking for a few yrs now. I've moved to the fat bike platform because of the versatility I have with wheel sizes. I can run 26"x whatever fat, 27.5 x 3.8" and 29X3". The 29+ gets the most use but there are times (such as bikepacking Death Valley and around Lake Mead) where I'm sure happy to have fat tires! Cheers to a great channel!

    You answered my questions here: sorry I did not see this before your recent video to return to Baja...I agree = the struggle with water and food in these locations. Contrast a tour like this versus going to Taiwan = can go really light + camp or credit card camp + food out of this world + beautiful scenery + tons of challenging road rides in tropical heat. Amazing job Ryan!

    The Lucy Lights are great. I have had the tiny on/off button wear out quickly on a couple of them, or get stuck, but they are so compact and give great light and even a distress signal that you hope to never have to use.Couldn't agree more about the Mexican people, and especially in more rural areas. Wonderful, warm, helpful, and giving. I've spent a lot of time there and the only time things have gotten sketchy is when too much alcohol is flowing. But give respect and a smile and it's always returned wholeheartedly.That bike just LOOKS super cool, too.Keep on duzing, Duzer!

    Great video and good information Ryan! I did not realize that the Trek 1120 is suspension less and setup 1X. I assumed you had front suspension and 2X11 or something when I originally watched the videos. You just became a whole lot tougher in my book. Lucy lights are awesome. Lots of people I know have and use them for all sorts of adventures from backpacking to sailing. The awesome part is you can attach them to the top of your bike rack or backpack during the day and will have light all night long if you wanted it. Keep up the awesome work.

    Found your channel and have been bingeing! Love it. A question I've racking the brain with that you may uniquely be able to answer: Checkpoint or 1120, possibly into a Procaliber or Stache though? I'm looking for an adventure bike, literally for riding: Tour Divide, Trans Am, Baja Divide, Arizona Trail, that kind of stuff. ... I enjoy a more road bike-ish geometry (Checkpoint) but am held up by the 700x45 max-width, although the 1120 seems so HEAVY for any kind of efficiency. ... I have an old Diamondback Overdrive (hardtail mtb) that I altered with drop bars, a rigid fork, and I really love it but it's getting so worn out I am wanting to invest in something new. ... I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for the time you take making your videos. I appreciate you and your channel.

    I bring an electric razor and shave regularly on my bike tours. I have a theory why... In many places, people can perceive someone riding a bike with lots of bags and things loaded up as being homeless or a bum. But we're not (not all). A clean shaven face makes you more approachable and presentable, more susceptible to welcome gestures. On the road, 1st impression is vital.

    Hello Ryan, I would like to ask you a question. I had a trek 1120 too and I think there is a problem on my frame. The problem is that chain is too close to the frame , I could say its touching. I wanted to ask you that is it normal?

    Ryan...Did you end up keeping the 1120? After it was recovered from the thief by your tenacious fan? I really like that bike based upon your review!!! I really want to start bike packing, and that 1120 seems like "the quintessential, purpose built bike-packing beast." So many of the "bike packing channels", seem to be so ANTI RACKS, but that seems insane, if you consider those amazing Orange 1120 racks. Fat bikes seem popular, as well, but I would imagine that their advantage is really just in the loosest sand and snow, and not worth the extra weight and drag on harder surfaces..., YES? Anyway, best of luck, and curious if the 1120 is still in your bike corral?

    G'day Ryan, Colm here from Australia. great bike review and videos of all your adventures, what a shame some arse [ass] stole it. At the moment I've got a dual suspension mountain bike [specialised camber] and a Cannondale cyclocross bike, love getting out in the wilderness and being part of nature,it's awesome. I've been thinking lately about bikepacking and love watching youtube videos of everyones adventures. "I'M IN"! Australia's got some awesome trails,national parks etc.. for BP.. unfortunately the Trek 1120 is not available in OZ and I can't seem to look past that bike. So will have to try and work out a way to get one mmm?? ! Once I'm ready I'll ride the length of the murray river first and build it up to interstate trips. I rode a mountain bike around New Zealand once [hard yakka] and drove around Australia in a land cruiser yrs ago. but BP seems like the next step. Keep riding and post your adventures and one I'll try and do some riding in the US. cheers Colm

    Ryan after your trip you were sick for 5 days because of stomach issues. Do I remember this right? Was the food or water unsanitized? What could you have differently? Maybe fill up water bottle with Pepto Bismol? :) Also, being that it was colder at night- would you bring the same jacket with a tent or would you recommend a warmer jacket with a tent? Cuz there are so many down jackets out there I get dizzy reading up on all their specs. Same jacket would suffice?

    you are correct! The water was sanitized, food at restaurants is a crap shoot--you just have to trust that's it's clean...which it usually is, I was just unlucky. My jacket was perfect, didn't need anything bigger. it's super light, but also warm.

    From watching a number of your videos, it seems like the loss of your 1120 is what lead you to Priority. If it hadn’t been stolen, would you still use it? I’m a roadie that has been heavily influenced by watching your videos. I like the fact that with the 1120, I don’t have to spend additional money buying racks for the bike, but I definitely see the goodness in the drivetrain Priority uses.

    the 1120 is a much different bike than the 920. The 1120 is for strictly off road, it's a beefy mtn bike, the 920 can be used on roads and gravel, but I wouldn't take it on any technical dirt trails. Hope that helps. I love them both!

I wonder if you could advertise on Craigslist or that website that the thief was using to try to sell both of your bikes, and post a STOLEN BIKE WARNING post with pics of your 1120? It might alert to purchaser and/or his friends that the bike was stolen. Good luck getting her back!
