I'll second Eric's suggestions. Lots of folks use home brew bikepacking
setups. Try lashing the sleeping bag in a stuffsack to the saddle rails
and seatpost. Lash the tent in its stuff sack to the underside of the
handlebars. Redistributing just some of the weight/volume from the

These are going on my Rambouillet which hasn't been ridden in over a year.
I've decided to build the bike back up with some Albastaches, fat tires,
and low gears. The Dura Ace triple it had on it just ain't low enough,
thus the change to the XD2.
thanks!

I used mine daily on my Quickbeam for 4 years in Denver locking the bike up
to all sorts of everything without ever bending/breaking those stays. I
found it very useful for carrying oddball items that wouldn't normally fit
in a small Wald basket. I kept a bungee net attached to it most of the
actual 39mm wide on Synergy
rims and everything fits just fine.
Hope this helps. -Jay B

Thanks for sharing Kristy! Looks like a great time and makes me miss
living in AVL (and post ride beers at the Wedge!). We still get back
fairly often to ride, eat, and visit friends so I'll keep and eye out for

Hey Shawn,
I used (and loved) a Large SaddleSack on my 56cm Quickbeam for more than
three years. I used a Nitto R-14 for support, and had a dyno light
attached to the rear of the rack. The vertical space between the seat and
rack was not quite ideal, but in practice worked just great. I inst

thanks Keith. those hacked Jones cassettes are what got me thinking about
adding some gears to the QB a while back. i can squeeze a 130mm hub in
there, but i'd really rather not. i like the idea of a 120mm cassette hub,
and a homebrew short cassette.

you're right, Keith, the 130mm isn't a drastic move at all. i have a 105
hub that slides right into the dropouts on the QB. i'll look into those

components.

d installing the bag over

returned. Of course, my silver Quickbeam, while outfitted with Brooks and
Nitto and Dyno bits, looked more like a beater and didn't really draw the

Hi Mike,
I put the Paul Racers on my Bleriot to maximize tire/fender clearance.
With the Hetres I have gobs of room for fenders. I was even able to

Plenty of 650b Rivs can take 42mm tires with fenders. My Bleriot, for
example, swallows Hetres, SKS longboard fenders, and Paul Racer brakes with
room to spare. I've even mounted some of the Schwalbe fatties RBW used to
sell under some fenders on that bike.

The largest tires I have put on my Bleriot (with Paul Racer brakes and
Synergy rims) are the Schwalbe "Fatties" RBW used to sell. They were in
the 46mm wide ballpark, if I remember correctly. I squeezed some fenders in
there as well, but just for kicks. You can check out some of the tire
clea
the
matter and could really use some real world feedback from those of you with
experience. All shared knowledge and lessons learned are much appreciated!
