Joe,

Wanted to know are you running tubeless for great divide ride and quick ones?

I am planning on riding the divide next July and I am new to bike packing

I feel the ultra light gear is awesome and plan to roll with Revelate.

Do you prefer Johns bar vs say salsa’s woodchipper

Thanks

Steve Reynolds

Very Very excited for you Joe!

I think you are going to have a blast. Your set up looks very well thought out, thanks for sharing. I think the tent was a good call compared to the hammock. I would maybe ditch the leather man and bike lock (personally) but that’s about it.

From your friend in AZ, I will be routing for you! Wish I could be headed up there with ya
