In the second installment of “Bitesized Bikepacking”, Esker Cycles meets up with Transit Cycles in Tucson, AZ for another mid-week bikepacking mini-adventure. The goal of Bitesized Bikepacking is to highlight just how simple a night away can be.

“It’s interesting in theory, but when you hit bumps in the road you go up with the bike, and there aren’t any normal riding instances I can think of where you’d naturally mimic what Antonio is doing to this extent and feel the frame flex. Maybe the Clem is slightly more comfortable over rough stuff, but the tires still make way more of a difference in comfort than the flex of the tubing, so don’t read into this too much. If I were choosing between a flex-less Clem with soft tires and a flexy Clem with hard tires, I’d choose the flex-less, soft-tired Clem every time.”

Rivendell‘s Friday newsletter included this nifty video. What do you think about this experiment?

Our take: frame flex is mostly discernible in cornering through rough stuff or powering up a climb.

Next up with some April Fools’ foolery is from Hudski Bikes… We’ve all thought about it, but has anyone tried it? A follow cam kite, or what we’re calling the “FCK it” for short.

April Fools..?

Rather than pretending to rebrand or make a goofy bike, Joe from Starling Cycles fancied a bit of a rant.

On 4 September 2023, a band of eight cyclists embarked on a 600-kilometer journey through Lombok, Indonesia; a haven of clear beaches, spicy cuisine, laid-back living, and the formidable Mt. Rinjani.

Spanning 9 days, the Wheels to Waves tour was a deliberate immersion into the island’s charm, curated meticulously by Haetam since August 2020.

The goal? To savor Lombok’s wonders at a deliberately unhurried pace.

Kyle is from Los Alamos, a tiny one-exit town to your right off the 101 in between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo where, during Kyle’s youth in the early ’90s, there was only one paved street, and hitching posts were not only common but well used. These days, despite its newfound popularity for wine tasting and as a weekend escape for couples in faltering marriages, there are still no police or stoplights. Its historical claim to fame was the hideout of the bandito Salomon Pico, later popularized as “Zorro”. Most of the driving scenes in the movie Death Proof were filmed in Los Alamos…
