Tour Divide (GDMBR) Bikepacking Setup & Tips - Pt 1: Salsa Cutthroat Bike Check after 6k Miles

Meet Sunny, my Salsa Cutthroat bike. She's dialed in for bikepacking the Tour Divide / Great Divide Mountain Biking Route (GDMBR). Check out the setup and tips that helped her escort me 2,800 miles from Banff to Antelope Wells without any mechanical issues. I rushed to build her 6 weeks before the race, when my previous Cutthroat was stolen. This is Part 1 of a series of Tour Divide / bikepacking tech, gear, and prep videos. I'm hoping to share my passion for bikepacking and endurance mountain biking and help set you up for success on the TD or any epic adventure on your bucket list. #tourdivide #bikecheck #bikepacking Tour Divide (GDMBR) Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwP0LKF2ifI5kLbjNMwAbXL1Vc8B14hJD Thanks to our newest Patreon and channel members :) Your support is the lifeblood of my little channel, and allows me the time to keep making videos!!
