Silk Road Mountain Race Bike Check with Meaghan Hackinen

When extreme terrain meets alpine nights and 4,000m passes, it’s not about how much you pack - it’s about knowing exactly what belongs and where. Meaghan’s approach to gear is built from years on the bike and a philosophy grounded in precision, efficiency, and hard-won experience. This year, she’s chasing a historic goal: to become the first woman to complete the full Mountain Race Series, capped by the notoriously unforgiving Silk Road Mountain Race. -- 00:00 Intro 00:28 Bike and components 00:55 Handlebar setup 01:25 Seatpost and saddle 01:35 Pedals 01:45 Wheels 01:57 Lights 02:19 Tyres 02:36 Clothing 03:48 Seat Pack 05:14 Frame Pack 06:13 Long Top Tube Pack 07:09 Downtube Pack 08:30 Stem Pack and Food Pouch 09:19 Handlebar Pack 10:52 Wrap Up View the Apidura Backcountry Series: https://www.apidura.com/shop/backcoun...
