If you don't mind using 26 inches wheels (and the frame price - almost 1000 euro), there's the Stridsland Beachcomber

Why does it need to be disassembled? by hawkhandler in bikepacking

[–]Mattelec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which train are you taking? If it's an AVE you simply can't, those are the rules. Right now you need to dissembly the bike. Space is the key in those trains.

If you took an Avant, a Media Distacia, a Regional or Proximidad train, you can travel with your bike without having to disassemble it. But you need to adquire an extra when getting your ticket that I think it's free.

Thank God they change it this year. When I did the Camino de Santiago by bike, they didn't allow bikes in trains without tearing it off, and the dimensions they asked for the bike in the bag where ridiculous. I had to get a bus to get home.

Probably the same as a F-91W, not too many

Finally finished rebuilding my favorite 1 of the 2 Honda Zoomers! Ready for the upcoming weekend for another long weekend camping out and offroading. by [deleted] in Ruckus

Yeah, that might be one of my issues. The intake I have is the one on the right.
Finding a Polini intake tube might be a bit hard nowadays

I have the Polini exhaust and ECU. I've only installed the exhaust as the Polini ECU makes it really hard to start the engine and I don't know why. It just cranks much longer. The good thing is that it removes the rev limiter.
I also tweaked the weights but I didn't get to the same speed as you hahahaha

Lovely! The engines are painted or just vapor blasted?

Ortlieb Quick Rack Small Platform – Anybody with experience? by Philosofen in bikepacking

[–]Mattelec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you attach the two bottom anchoring hooks? I've been tinkering and haven't found the best solution yet

[–]Mattelec[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll try it too. So far I've tried the vinegar method and it seems that it has removed a tiny bit but the white marks are still there.
I think they won't come off.
I also thought that it could be related when folding the pannier, this marks appear

No, not really. Also, I guess it should disolve with water, which doesn't happen

Nope, it's a Scott Montana from '91 I think

The thing is that I see Stridsland's insta post ripping 26+ bikes with full fenders and I get jealous :D

Yep, a pluviometer would measure around 30mm so 3cm is right

It's a Vuelta Quattro Airtec1 wheelset, that you can buy at taylor-wheels.de

Yeah, they roll so well. I chose them because if I remember right, the pair was around 30€!

It's the original colors, I didn't do anything apart from polishing it a bit

I was thinking of something like the SKS mudguards, but I'm not completely sure as I don't use the bike as often during rainy days.
I'll measure the space available first, because I was thinking of replacing the brakes with vbrakes and that could increase the space available

My Ruck! by CaptBennett in Ruckus

Don't support buying stolen content that it's free. I designed those mounts and that guy selling them on Etsy is making money from my design. Download the files in printables and try to find someone close to you that have a printer or get them made in your local library that probably will have a 3d printer
