Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

Been using an Ironweed for at least 5 or 6 years. They're cheap compared to others. Also have a tendency to collapse in on themselves so you have to be careful with the plastic liners (which are replaceable). Carry a lot and are tough. They're cheap comparatively. I know I said that but I'm alwa

Hi Mike, is that really a 29 x 2.25 vittoria mezcal in your bmc cross frame? And does one fit I'm the rear as well? Thanks On Wednesday, November 22, 2017 at 8:18:40 AM UTC-8, Mike Williams wrote: > Maybe go: 1)framebag/ half- framebag/ 2) compact rear saddlebag 3) front > rack+basket + bag

*Hi Jon, I will look into the Rawland demiporteur rack and surly petite porterhouse bag. I checked out the photos of fully loaded bike and it really helps. Are those your bikes? Thanks a lot.* Yes, both photos are my Salsa Marrakesh bike. I got the Rawland rack earlier this year, and use

A hearty agree for this passage: " Ultralight gear is wimpy. It will fail, and in circumstances less than ideal that pushed it beyond it’s frail capacity. It must be babied to last. I carry expedition weight gear for what gear I carry. It allows me to be confident and comfortable no matter what

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

Hi Shojie, I forgot that V brake option. Its something I can check and consider. Thanks for the suggestion. Hi Tim, I forgot that Tektro brake cable hanger at Riv’s site. Its definitely another option so I can retain my Shimano CX50 brakes in the front. I have bookmarked bag sellers you ment

Lots of people using a front basket with bags that attach to the basket. Here's a write-up sharing this set-up while on the Stagecoach 400. My daughter uses the bag from Swift Industries (Sugarloaf) and a front basket; she loves it! http://www.whileoutriding.com/blog On Tuesday, November 21, 20

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

Hi Jay, Thanks for the feedback. I think I have been watching too many bikepacking videos from youtube :-) It gave me the impression that bikepacking bags are necessary for that trail. Regards, Ed On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 8:33 PM, Jay Connolly wrote: > Ground clearance will not be an issue on th

Rawland demiporteur rack and surly petite porterhouse bag is a nice combo that will carry a lot. Includes d-rings for extra capacity on top. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

Patrick I've enjoyed alot of things you've shared over the years but this; "Framebags do force the use of ultralight gear because they do not carry much. You will get all four seasons, sometimes within an hour, on the trail. Ultralight gear is wimpy. It will fail, and in circumstances less than

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

Or you could change the brake hanger to a fork-crown mounted one . That should keep the cable and front bag from interfering. With a Hunq, I'd recommend a small front rack like the Nitto M12

Hi Ed, If you'd really like to use the Sweet Roll (or similar), V-brakes would be fine. (V-brakes would require appropriate brake lever.) Good luck on the trip! shoji On Wednesday, November 22, 2017 at 12:48:19 AM UTC-5, ed wrote: > > Last year I bought Philips' 48 Hunqapillar frame and I just

Ground clearance will not be an issue on the GDMBR. The VAST majority of the route consists of gravel roads. Jay On Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at 9:48:19 PM UTC-8, ed wrote: > > Last year I bought Philips' 48 Hunqapillar frame and I just recently > installed a Cliffhanger wheelset with dyno fr
