If you’ve been riding for any length of time, chances are good that you already know certain things are going to wear out on your bike. The general rule is, the more you ride, the more frequently you need to replace things like tires, air filters, chains and sprockets, brake pads, and so on. When you’re doing an epically long trip, you’re probably going to go through tires more quickly—it's just math.
Thus, we come to the most recent chapter of the Itchy Boots Project Alaska saga. If you haven’t been following along, you should—it's a lot of fun. For those unfamiliar, Noraly (the vlogger behind the Itchy Boots channel) is riding her Honda CRF300L Rally from Ecuador up to Alaska. (As a result, the bike is also named Alaska, so if you hear her referring to what sounds like a person by that name, it’s her bike.)
