The life of a bike packer. Follow for more of this amazing tour of Iceland
[Music] Okay, here we have the final rendition of the 2025 Specialized HD competition all kitted out for my 1500 km bike tour around Iceland. So, I have an Old Man Mountain bike rack which connects to my through axle and that’s my seat post. I’ve added two water bottle cages. Being that this is a suspension fork, there are no mounting points. So, I had um ordered two tail fin cargo cages with the carbon fiber um fork mounts. We’ve got my water bottle, one one liter bottle up there, and then a bunch of other miscellaneous uh gear in there. I do have my sleeping system up front here on what would be the arrow. Um, I guess handlebar mount. I had to modify it slightly because I’ve increased the stem height on my handlebar, which So, I did add a different handlebar to this bike, which gave me a more of a sweep to it for a more upright seating position. I’ve got the Urggon grips with the bullhorns. I did add a side mirror as I’ll be riding on road for uh the majority of this trip. This is the um frame to my I guess small camping chair. I have Mountain Equipment Company uh PUR bags and then I have a third um pure bag in the middle which has all my food. I am running FastTrack Control T5 in the rear. It’s a Specialized tire and then Fast Track Control T7 up front. I’m running a 1×12 Eagle transmission and I have Shramm brakes with a 180 mil up front and 160 in the rear.
