    Nice video, drooling over these! How did you decide on the HAWK27s instead of the 30s? Im interested in the same type of shredpacking routes you mentioned and trying to decide on 27v30. Thank you, happy trails!

    I tend to ride 2.3-2.35 tires on my full squish XC bike (also my bikepacking bike)… which has max clearance of 2.5 anyway… so I’m right in the sweet spot of the 27’s and I don’t need the extra width of the 30’s- if I was riding 2.5-2.6 tires primarily, I’d def consider the 30’s… you can’t go wrong either way 🤙

    Mechanic in Washington state here. I've seen multiple vespers rear hubs get absolutely destroyed in this climate, especially if you don't keep up on general maintenance. High performance comes with high maintenance. Still better than hydras If you do need to replace clutch internals, you basically have to send the hubs to Onyx as pressing in the new internals requires extremely high precision and you will void your warranty. For some that's totally fine, personally the performance is not worth the cost or headache. Would highly recommend the classic hub over the vesper as it has their Full Sprag internals vs the Vespers Half Sprag internals.

    Have an idea - would it make the bag sit more stable if you buy two sets of bars(with total 4 holders) and attach the other bar (with two holders)underneath the first so that the bag rests on two bars(rather then one bar)?!

    Good to hear the high carb numbers from the pros. As someone who is about 200#, I normally need to do 130-140g/hr for endurance events, otherwise I'll bonk. You are likely leaving performance on the table doing less carbs. My carb sources used to be infinit, but swapping to flow to add the fructose source has been instrumental in increasing hourly intake without stomach issues. Then add a fig bar half or cliff bar half each hour as well. Great video, very interesting and informative. Those power numbers are absolutely crazy. Lastly, I've been rocking the 2.2 Race Kings on my Stormchaser. They are slower on super flat and fairly smooth local gravel but when things are technical they are great. I wish they had a 2.0 performance RK, that would be perfect IMO.

    Great data , really interesting 👍 the carb intake really amazing to consume that amount for 10hrs , i guess that must make a huge difference to pro rider speed times for these races and tour de france . So are they pretty much consuming all their calories per hour just carbs for whole race and no fats or protein at all , just using existing body fat 🤔 i think Race Kings may well be the fashion next 12 months to challenge Mezcals 🤠

    You do not need expensive tools for wheelbuilding. The first few pairs of wheels, I built in the dropouts themselves. Radial and lateral trueness gauges were zip ties attached to the stays, fork crown etc. Later on I built a wheel truing stand with not much more than a few bits of plywood. These sponsored guys are bound to tell you to invest in the best. If you run a shop, fine, but privateers and enthusiasts, save yourself the money with a little effort and the finished product will be so much more rewarding.

    I'm nearly 63 and Lachlan's my hero for multiple reasons. Firstly: we hail from the same area, ie Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. Secondly: he's such a great ambassador for our sport! Thirdly: he continues to think outside the box when it comes to taking on new challenges! Fourthly: I love his altruism! Fifth: he's just a cool, down to earth guy and now I regret not going over to him in Christchurch Airport in March and saying "Hi" (despite my wife encouraging me to!) and finally: he's one hell of a hardcore bike rider!!

    While I enjoy my BERD wheels I’ve had issues long term with spokes loosing tension requiring truing fairy frequently, and have had one come totally out on a ride. So much so to the point I took the wheels apart and rebuilt with DT brass nipples and spoke prep. Much better since then but wouldn’t recommend trusting for long term bike packing with the stock alloy nipples that come pre treated with a thread lock.

    I’m a professional wheel builder and have been building with BERD spokes for 4 years now. I have yet to see this issue when using their recommended nipples or the nipples that Enve supplies with their rims. The sets I’ve built have, until last week, been very reliable. Fortunately the first spoke failure in four years was on my personal bike! It would have been quite embarrassing to have it happen to a client. Still trying to figure out what happened.

    Thanks for chiming in :) There’s nothing closer to Lachlan’s time than Mike Hall’s official record, so I have to reference it :) I tried to give Mike Hall ample respect in the video, and it’s out of that respect that I refer his “mind-blowing” ride multiple times. Sorry you find fault in that. The fact is, Lachlan’s time was 1 day and 10 hours faster than Hall’s… true, LM didn’t have snow up north… but he had plenty of rain and peanut butter mud and hotter days in southern CO and NM… IMHO, a few hours of HAB up Richmond Peak and Red Meadow Pass… heck, even if MH hiked a full day in the snow… it still wouldn’t give LM a 34 hour advantage… nor would Koko claims detour, film crew, etc - again, my humble opinion - thanks again for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts:) ride on🤙 🚴
