Re: [RBW] Re: First Rivendell… Susie

[Mike Rossi]

Thanks, y’all. That’s a Widefoot cargo cage. And the weight on the front was a little squirrelly to me at first, but I got used to it. I managed to navigate some bumpy terrain without having to dismount. But, I already have some future changes planned. The Nitto front rack only has 1.5mm of clearance with the 2.3 tires, so I’ve put in an order with Pass and Stow. I’m also not sure about the Boscomoose bars, yet. I might try out a separate stem and handlebar setup so I can angle the bars down a centimeter or two. There’s larger panniers for the back rack that weren’t installed so, I’ll have to give it a test run with it fully loaded as I have an Appalachian weekend camping trip planned for September. I should have everything dialed in by then. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 16, 2024, at 12:09 PM, John C <johnwcranf...@gmail.com> wrote: Looking good!! How does it handle with the weight in front?

Always tempted but never quite enough. What cage did you use to hold your thermos?

I just got back from my first ride off the beaten path with him and wanted to share a photo of the build. I’m already itching for another. I believe the Charlie Gallup may make a great Christmas gift to myself. Or maybe Valentines.
