Attaching Ortlieb bicycle bags on my Trek gravelbike

#ortlieb #trek #gravelbike #twaap #twowheelsandaponytail

This is my first set up for my gravel bike. These bags look fantastic and they are waterproof. I think they're going to bring me a lot of ease and fun. It will be late summer, but I can't wait to start my next bicycle trip.

TWAAP, I really don't mind what subject you're covering in your videos...hell, you could even film yourself emptying the kitchen bin and I'd still watch it 😉😄

I am using those for years. Good choice, they are solid, reliable and really waterproof. The only downside is that with time the mount inserts will eat up the carrier tubes. It's funny, that the plastic is actually stronger than the aluminium when it is rubbing as you ride. 🙂 Don't forget to make tight the plastic screws in the bag fom time to time, like at the beginning of every season. They tend to get loose and then you just lose them. 🙂

Nice setup! Good to see your chief mechanic piglet is hooking you up 🤘😏🤘

Ortlieb is the way to go if you want reliable bag.
If you plan to do a long trip, I highly recommand you to swap those flat pedals by clip-on (like mountain bike version, you can easily walk with shoes). You rear of your leg will be active and this will relieve your quadriceps. Your body will thank you.

Hello TWAAP☺️,
Sorry I’ve been missing your videos. I’m going to go backwards and watch what I’ve missed. It looks like you’re doing pretty good. I’m happy to see that. Luv your videos and I just hope you stay healthy and safe inside your body 😉🤙🏼

Once you get a taste of gravel at speed there’s nothing like it….speed becomes your addiction. Speed looks good on you.

Check 2:30 and you are very tip toe on the pedals.

You are stretching calves (calfs?) to reach down. It makes you look very good but angle your heels down and try lower saddle, you will of course build a bit with the soles later. Heels down help enormously to control. Heels up also is bad since it means you slide off pedals forward as well during hard braking or difficult terrain. Be aware that using SPD/cleats lets you get away with many sub-optimal techniques. 😊

Good luck and nice color matching.

PS I have the same bag for many years commuting, it’s good but double check it is clipped in always or it will hop off, my laptop knows it… 😂

Looks good But everything you do looks

[fabiopunk]

Good choice I had them for years they are still ok. Also, carrying load on a rear rack with hanginbags is better than tge now fashionable appendices under the saddle or on the handlebar

[sleepindragon]

Off topic love the jeans❤😂
And love the ink on your ankle.
Keep smashing it love it❤💯😎

Okay other bicycle riders, weigh in. It looks to me like the saddle is too high. I start out with saddle height at 109% of the inseam. Also, on the foot position on the pedals I ride with the ball of my foot directly above the pedal axle. It appears the current position has the foot too far back. That may be because the saddle height is too high, but when one switches to bike shoes and cleats the position becomes more important.
