Bike, Bags, and Racks
My bike is the Priority 600ADX (update to the 600x), a hardtail mountain bike built for adventure. I designed this low maintenance dream machine with my friends at Priority Bicycles. The Drivetrain is what makes it special, it uses the Pinion C12 gearbox and the Gates CDX Carbon Drive (not a chain). Here’s a complete video rundown of my bike.
Pedals: I either use the clipless Shimano PDM 424 SPD (for non technical terrain) and flat pedals for technical adventures (The Crank Bros Stamp 7)
I have a NEW SADDLE! The Infinity E1X (altering getting major saddle sores on the Tour Divide I began a search for a butt friendly seat)
I sometimes use a dropper post for rowdy adventures like the Colorado Trail. Mine is made by OneUp
For the Tour Divide race I used Redshift AeroBars
My up-cycled bright orange Frame Bag is made by my friends in Boulder at Green Guru and specifically made to fit the Priority ADX
My little orange bag below the seat (the Duzer) and the top tube bag near the stem (The Tanker) are also made by Green Guru
My handlebar snack bag is made by Blue Dingo Bag Werks
*I sometimes use the Slap Bag accessary pouch (attaches easily to handlebars with velcro straps)
