TRIED, TESTED and TRUSTED: MY GEAR
For years, I’ve wanted to create a reliable gear list that I could truly recommend to other adventure cyclists.
Now that I’ve been able to test different kinds of tools, clothes, bags, bikes, drivetrains, stoves, racks, tires, saddles and even tents, I feel like I am finally in a position to share my ultimate recommendations. What you’ll find below is a collection of products that will, in my opinion, contribute significantly to the safety and comfort of your rides.
Wherever I could, I’ve included either direct or my own affiliate links to the product’s webpage.
If you have any questions or suggestions on any of these items, feel free to get in touch.
