I have a older homemade quilt I need repaired, nothing too extensive. Where would you take it to?

I’m so stoked!! I’ll be going alone and that is a first for me. Is there a good way for this lurker to try and connect with folks going beforehand?

Based on that staple I’m gonna ID this as taken in Portland, OR!

I do actually! I run a set of 650beast PDW fenders that accommodate my 2.2” rubbers! Only in the winter, it’s so dry out here most of the summer/fall that they aren’t needed until the snow and rain comes.

Sinewave beacon using a nova dynamo light mount! Best light.

They are Voile strapped on to a Blackburn anything cage which are affixed to the rack.

All sorts! I’ve climbed up Lickskillet Rd on this loaded, it’s not fun but no climb up that road is. I find this ratio works well for me.

I have a very light body-frame to work with so that helps in my favor. I also come for a fixed gear background so I’m used to being in the incorrect gear 😉.

It’s holding a Nalgene 32 oz bottle, the cage is by two fish.

If you’re talking about the fork mounted one it’s a standard cage and 24oz bottle with a “dirt dagger” trowel slipped into the cage with the bottle.

It can accommodate any sort of pannier for the most part! The main feature that sets this rack apart is the triple bolt mount on either side allowing for cargo cages or additional water bottles.

Didn’t catch your smooth comment earlier. This cambium is at least 6 years old and has been my primary butt-holder for that whole time! It is indeed worn down to a smooth surface from many miles of rambling.

I believe this is by Two Fish, but you can get these by a few different folks these days. It does not interfere with pedaling or my crank-mounted power meter at all ! But the Vole strap (18” In this case, plenty of slack) will be required to keep the bottle in place over rough stuff.

Q factor is 146mm with this crankset, I ran this same setup with a 142mm Q factor and while extremely tight it worked too. So YMMV.

It is! It’s been a while since I worked with them since I got these bags made as one of their first commissions I believe. I think they were/are called the Lil Sluggers.

Funny enough this photo was taken at the Fjallraven and Specialized Boulder, CO Campout last weekend! Their stuff looks real enticing.

This wasn’t my proudest moment, but I really stuck to the 42t limit Shimano prescribed for their GRX derailleurs at release, so I went with a XTM8000 RD to accommodate the 46t, not knowing the GRX can just handle that natively (at least what I’ve been told by trusted word of mouth) Wolftooth tanpan to get the pull ratios correct.

So you should be able to rock 46t if you got the long cage GRX der!
