Yes, for sure, the Hunq can do all that. I had one for a year; no doubt a capable bike. For me, the Hunq felt too much like my stiff and heavy LHT. The NFE feels much more like my Terraferma. It carries a load in my Berthoud very well. As far s loading it up with stuff I’ve only used the Bertho

Carl, I cannot see why not. The disc brakes would allow for 26" wheels I imagine. In fact, I might have read somewhere on the Internet of someone riding a prototype of those tires on the NFE--but it could have been the also forthcoming 650x48 Compass tires. I'm eager to get the Rat Traps on my

I love the Cowchippers so far. Hardly any fussing with them. I rode them on singletrack the other day--a pic or two in the Flickr--and really like the shallow drop, width (46cm) and flare when it came to cranking uphill. But then today I did a four hour road ride and they were great there too.

Exactly. It's the shifters that count less so than the derailer. The XT M772, with ten speed shifters, should work just fine with a 10 speed cassette. The problems arise when one tries to shift a 10 speed Dynasys derailer with 10 speed road shifters, like the 10 speed Dura Ace bar ends. It won'

This is my impression as well the M bar and H bar don't seem similar at all. Other than being handlebars. The width and the sweep especially, is what interests. But by no means was any offense taken at the M bar suggestion. Happy holidays all! Christian >From my phone. > On Dec 24, 2013, a

29er fenders would be cool Takashi. For me, for now, I'm ok with no fenders on my Hunqapillar. But it'd be nice to have the option. I was impressed with the Crossmarks' performance on pavement. They rolled nicely which for me is really important as I've always got to ride miles of pavement betwe
