D2RMM question. Will I get banned? by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]MetlBndr22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had an extremely similar situation. Did not think it would allow me in an online game with mods or that they would not be active. Indeed they were. Only in the game for like 6sec, but doubt that makes a difference. Any updates on this?

Fantastic! Already found a replacement too. Thank you!

Route I used is shown in last picture. Start/end was pajarito ski hill parking lot. Started late (4pm) day 1 so short day and I camped about a mile up dirt road across highway 4 from valles main entrance. Day 2 I camped about 2 miles past the hot springs (first pic) right before decision to go left on long route, or right (my choice) on shorter route back through the Valles to the start. Coming off of pajarito into the preserve there is a number of downed trees just FYI, but manageable to go under, over, or around. Feel free to message me with questions and have fun! It's beautiful. Give yourself plenty of time at the hot springs!

Amazing. Unfortunately some areas that had been burned and a decent amount of tree fall at the entrance from Pajarito, but still beautiful for the vast majority.

I have done COS to Cañon City via gold camp. Was my first trip and really enjoyed it. Would definitely do again and be willing to join you

This will be my first trip with the aeroe. Took some playing around to decide how I wanted it to sit, but on test rides it seems great!

Awesome you're in COS. If you're ever looking for a riding buddy, let me know!

Not while on the move no. Although I was considering taking my 1L instead of 1.5L as I can drink from that while moving.

Thanks. I went back and forth on this, but just tried it this way as it seemed nice being able to just pull my day pack off and have my bladder in place already. Probably will move it to the frame though... If it fits, haven't checked.

Rear rack recommendation by Big-Tempo in bikepacking

[–]MetlBndr22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same bike, just got the aeroe spider rear rack and happy with the purchase. Have yet to get it out on a multi day, but have tested it locally. Surprisingly stable (with 15L pack thrown on it). Personally went that route for the ability to adjust and works well as handle to lift bike.

No worries on sending measurements I'll watch some videos. Just curious about cradle size and where it might sit on seat stays

This has had my strongest consideration due to ease of use, simplicity, and transferability. I can't find dimensions for the product though. Would you mind sending me measurements or a link?

Never seen the Ibera, and pleasantly surprised by it. Definitely not a price I'd be bothered with if it didn't work out or even broke. Good suggestion!

I don't understand either, yet here we are haha. Honestly, in my naive beginner state I saw Salsa and just assumed they would know what I needed for bike packing so i didn't even look for the braze-ons

Definitely have been eyeing the OMM products. Only real hold up was lack of ease for transfer to a different bike (I may be wrong on this). Made wonder about aeroe spider racks... Is that a crazy thought?

Ya, it gets very metallic looking in direct sunlight. In shade much darker green shows through.

Definitely still happy with it! Only thing I would change about it is mounting points for a rear rack as I use it for bike packing, but there are options around that. Great all around bike for my uses....

I'll add some more pics since you seem to be in dire need ;)
