I also have a Nuclear Sunrise top tube bag. Under my downtube, I have a 1L drybag for tools and repair-type things. I am lucky to have a Revelate Spinelock 16L saddlebag, a Revelate/Surly Frame bag, Ortlieb handlebar bag, and accessory pouch. I have a pair of Velocity Blunts laced to XT hubs.īAGS: I am very happy, so far, with my bag set up.

I am running friction thumbies, controlling my 38/28 front and 11/46 10 speed rear. I upgraded to 27.5, with a Maxxis Minion SS in the front and a Maxxis Ikon in the rear. Asa Rogers Age 24 / Takoma Park, Maryland (USA)īIKE: I will be riding this year’s Tour Divide on a 2016 Surly Troll. I also made my own down jacket and riding gear. I made my sleeping bag using 850-fill HyperDRY Goose Down and will be sleeping on a Nemo Tensor pad and Fillo Pillow. GEAR HIGHLIGHTS: I’ll be using an Outdoor Research Helium bivy for shelter with a Tyvek groundsheet. I’ll be running a rear rack due to a lack of space between the seat and rear tire. Special shout-out to Oveja Negra for setting me up with the fork bag plates to make my own version of their bags. I’m using a kLite system for my dynamo headlight and taillight and their USB charger to power my Wahoo Roam and cache battery.īAGS: All of my bags were sewn by me using 2.9oz Dyneema fabric. Not visible are the Chris King matte turquoise headset and bottom bracket that match my aerobar tape and valve stems. I’ll be running Vittoria Mezcal 2.25″ tires and Tyrewiz tire pressure monitors. For wheels, I have WTB KOM Tough rims laced to a DT Swiss 350 rear hub and a SON dynamo front hub. In the front, I’m running a Wolftooth 36t Camo chainring attached to a White Industries crank with a 10-52 cassette. This build features wireless SRAM Force AXS levers and bar-end blips with an X01 AXS rear derailleur. Paul, Minnesota (USA)īIKE: I’ll be riding the Great Divide Classic on my titanium Salsa Fargo. And after checking out the rigs, head over to the 2021 Tour Divide event page to follow along live. 13 of those rigs are using racks and 59 have rackless bag setups. There are 39 bikes with drop bars and 33 with flat bars. I’s worth noting a few stats from the group. Despite the changes and uncertainty, we were able to compile a list of over 70 rigs that will be out on the route this year, be that on the unofficial start date of Friday, June 11th, or at some other time this summer.

As such, the majority of southbound riders will be starting in Eureka, Montana, at the Roosville Border Crossing, at noon on June 11th. And although the 2021 event won’t look quite like previous grand departs, we’re excited to get back on track with our Rigs of the Tour Divide tradition.įor those who aren’t aware, the US-Canadian border still isn’t open for recreational travel. I think everyone can agree that we missed following the Tour Divide last year.
