Nice setup. Love the storage idea for spare spokes.

Picked up a Fargo today can't wait for it to arrive and get dialed in. Loved this video and the fact that you fit in some good lifehack/tips. Much love!

I learned a great tip from your video. I didn't know on the DT Swiss 350 hubs that the cassette could be removed by hand. That is huge for a bike adventurer.

[weeringjohnny]

Many thanks!. Some Teutonic precision and thoroughness on display there.

[Fulviolosmilzo]

I will have watched this video 20 times to take a cue for my Fargo I like all or almost everything you set up for your trip congratulations

[TheDuntman]

Thanks Henry - really informative and some great ideas. The spokes stored in the seat tube is genius! Been thinking about buying a Fargo so this was very helpful.

[timmanion]

Great job, Henry.
Simple, straightforward, practical: helpful!
Thanks!

Lots of good ideas here. Thank you. I love all your bikepacking videos. From my learning, on my own bikepacking setup, I think your advice on where to pack different items is the best part of your videos. I have a second bottle cage on the non-drive-side of my rear stays, and your comment in the video about it making it harder when you lay the bike down really rings true to me. I may even remove mine.

Well that is absolute Gold!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do the “show and tell”. That will be so useful to my wife and I going forward.

I've really enjoyed the comfort and simplicity of my Fargo w 4 panniers on the road. When I've ventured to include bumpy jeep roads, the changes needed are obvious. Thank you for excellent info on set up, including large frame bag . Happy trails to you !😊

The Fargo is a bike i look at often.Your setup is awesome, seat post spokes is a great idea. Just subbed.

[ChrisDiCroce-wuqk]

Love my 2018 Fargo. I've thought about "replacing" it with something newer but I can't let it go. There is no bike out there as versatile, Maybe the Ritchey Ascent. I've ridden over 6000 kilometers on mine and just completed the Baja Divide. Love it.

[Rafael-vuxn]

This is what exactly what I have been looking for, great video thank you !

[adamhazutubez]

This is such a good looking and thoughtful build. I really appreciate the experience informed packing decisions, such as implimenting multiple dry bags and a harness-based packing system(s), as well as the long-distance comfort-based decisions like the unique handlebar and the 2.6 tires. I am a mountain biker wondering about getting into bikepacking, so i also apprreciate you recommending a couple specific products.

[leigha]

Henry, thank you, this was so well done like all your videos. I found the bags part very helpful as my partner and I plan our bag setup. Agree with you about the convenience of the harness approach. Would you consider doing a short video about what you pack in each bag? I think viewers would really appreciate it.

[DMmert]

very straight forward and well backed with good value information. Just what I needed.

[BikeCampChill]

I've got the same size/model of Salsa Fargo over here with a SON dynamo as well. Such a great adventure bike, love it!

[markzenk]

Danke für das Setup-Video. Habe selber nen Breezer Radar X Pro. Ist ebenfalls ein absolutes Allroad-Bike. Aber den Salsa-Rahmen finde ich mega spannend. Vorallem die SRam 12-Fach ist natürlich der Knaller!!! Macht weiter so!! LG

[cibablea]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and with such clear delivery and solid video. You rule.
