For navigation I will be using the sun with a Garmin for back-up. This means I can swap with my headlight batteries and spare batteries to ensure I have power where I need it. It is built around a standard 21700 battery which is removable. An interesting bit of gear is my Ledlenser 5,000mAh battery bank. All my gear is off-the-shelf apart from a couple of pockets sewn into my shirt and some over-mitts made up from a scrap of left-over waterproof fabric. GEAR HIGHLIGHTS: I will be equiped for camping and dining under the stars, but generally aiming for more bear proof lodgings with beer flavoured carbohydrates. Rounding out my set-up is a Zefal keg mounted on the bottom tube and two standard bottle cages on the forks for more water bottles.

Set up for comfort, my bike features 120mm full suspension, vibration dampening Passchier handlebars (bamboo laminate bar made locally in Christchurch, NZ), Ergon grips, Vision aero bars, Brooks C17 saddle, Vittoria Mezcal 2.25′ tyres and XTR 1×12 drivetrain with a 30T chainring.īAGS: Apart from the custom Stealth frame bag (made in Wellington, NZ), I am using standard Revelate bags including Spinelock seat pack, Sweet Roll, Feedbags(2), Mag Tank and Jerry Can. Tim Allan Age 55 / Christchurch (New Zealand)īIKE: Riding in from Jasper prior to the Grand Depart, I’ll be riding (not racing) the Tour Divide on a 2019 SWorks Epic Evo. And when the event kicks off, you’ll be able to follow along live over on our 2023 Tour Divide Tracker. Browse all the rigs below, featuring bag and gear highlights for each. This time around, we’re highlighting more than 60 flat-bar rigs that will be lined up for the grand depart tomorrow morning in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
There’s certainly a shared sense of accomplishment among those who show up for the grand depart, and we’re excited to follow along each year.Ĭontinuing on from yesterday’s post, in which we shared more than 50 loaded drop-bar bikes planning to tackle this year’s Tour Divide, we’re thrilled to present the second part of our extensive roundup.
Or maybe it’s because of the mix of racers, riders, and tourers all enjoying the 2,750-mile route in their own way. Maybe it’s because so many people participate, traveling from all over the world to ride the iconic route between Alberta and New Mexico. There’s something about the Tour Divide that brings the bikepacking community together.
