Oh really? That is not cool. I've heard of more than a few brooks saddle rails snapping from that. Not to mention the fact that it acts like a bit of a spring. I love this support. It is rock solid and doesn't put undo stress on the saddle rails. I could strap a pile of firewood to this thing (aka

I just found out that they don't make the expedition with the stay's...according to Ben's cycle what you have was a temporary fix till they refined the stainless steel version which is just a large hoop attached to the saddle rails. IMO what you have is the way to go, as it allows a greater load an

I ordered the camper long flap and bagman expedition from SJS Cycles. Good price and good shipping. On Wednesday, June 18, 2014 12:28:18 PM UTC-5, hsmitham wrote: > > Where did you purchase the bag man? > > ~Hugh > > On Wednesday, June 18, 2014 7:10:18 AM UTC-7, Mark Reimer wrote: >> >> Wow that

Oh the Atlantis for sure. But there are a few factors working against it - much larger and heavier tires with a more aggressive tread, heavier rims, a dynamo hub, and about 15 pounds more weight to move along. My cross bike is built up to accelerate as easily as possible, so it was no surprise t

Looks like an awesome adventure. Makes me want to go for S24O. Yes, the dirty Atlantis looks very cool! I think that the front rack you have is designed to be mounted on the lower eyelet of the front fork-end. They are designed for 700C bikes, and most 700C bikes have only one eyelet for each fr
