First pic is from a week on the Great Divide between Banff and Whitefish.
Tribute post to a fun first bikepacking rig that I’ll be moving on from soon:
old Stumpjumper FS frame
26 x 2.2 wheels, Maxxis tires
Bar end shifter
Rim brakes
Several mid bike bags and 1 good one
Had no idea what I wanted when I picked up this “gravel bike” from a non-profit local shop. It’s been super fun to rip some local trails and take on a few bikepacking trips.
When a bike mechanic in Banff told me “this, this is the real spirit of the Divide” I knew we had a winner (even if the derailleur had gotten screwed up before we’d even hit the trail).
