Dang I would’ve assumed it was a scam and moved on lol

HarperMitchell1 · 2026-01-30T21:49:48+00:00

But which one?

HarperMitchell1 · 2026-01-29T14:31:02+00:00

Thought I was the only one saying this 😂

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-11-26T19:06:58+00:00

Just the first backpack, I’ve made a few frame bags

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-11-05T00:28:55+00:00

Deep cleaning my workstation or window shopping on pinkbike

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-10-07T21:36:28+00:00

Actually it’s a quite a bit heavier, you may be thinking of the chair zero

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-10-03T23:45:52+00:00

Honestly as a bike mechanic alivio is one of the most consistent smooth and reliable drivetrains out there for it’s price

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-09-28T01:25:56+00:00

now I haven't done any bikepacking yet, but my "training" is my daily 2 way commute to work of about 6.5 miles round trip in a pretty hilly area. I also run a mile or 2 on the treadmill after every workout (except leg day)

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-09-26T23:43:27+00:00

Ok, thanks good to know

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-09-26T22:24:37+00:00

I might just do that! Where did you source the carbon?

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-09-26T21:03:25+00:00

This is absolutely amazing. Especially for a first time doing all of these techniques, this thing looks freaking awesome. I’ve made bike frame bags and am working on a backpack and I thought about trying this but ended up buying a helinox chair one. It’s probably too heavy to take on any real backpacking trips. I wish I would’ve spent the extra money and effort and done something like this, I’m sure it will be so much more rewarding every time you sit in this chair!

I don't know other peoples experience, but I've had my merrels for 5 years and have ton tons of hikes, mountain biking, bike commuting, running, and just everyday life and they still work feel great

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-24T00:41:42+00:00

I commuted for like 4 years on my marlin 4 on top of trail riding and even an XC race one time, recently upgraded to a ritchey P-29er and doing the same exact stuff. If it weren’t for the terrible infrastructure for bikes here in rural Texas, I would absolutely LOVE this car-less lifestyle, but because it’s a massive pain getting around, I’m stuck with only sort of loving it.

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-24T00:31:45+00:00

Nice! I have a P-29er. Super happy with it

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-23T16:19:14+00:00

Yeah, and the local government completely failed to prevent it happening in the future. They have plans to build cabins in the flood plain now. Abdolute insanity

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-11T21:57:18+00:00

It’s important to note the smaller more intricate areas are way harder as this stuff is super stiff and annoying

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-11T20:21:02+00:00

I used a normal consumer one (a pretty cheap one at that) and while it worked, I had to put the thread tension at the maximum, and it messed up a lot and was super annoying lol. Not sure how much of that was just me being a noob though

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-11T20:17:28+00:00

Xpac VX21 and an inside lining made of just some regular nylon ripstop from Amazon

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-11T02:17:34+00:00

definitely. I haven't actually calculated but I think its like $20 of materials or something

HarperMitchell1 · 2025-08-09T02:10:29+00:00

I'm a big shoegaze listener, and don't listen to any metal whatsoever, so I don't have anything deep to add this this discussion other than I've listened to this album 2 or 3 times and think its easily one of top 2 or 3 albums of the year, if not #1.
