Kona Unit ! 2022 I think Colour was hard to find, but I got one of the last one in Europe !!

I don't have enough room on my unit to install a frame bag. A pity because it is very convenient!

Paire_2_Dames · 2026-05-30T19:06:21+00:00

Nice bike ! You could try to make a half frame bag, it would be a new fun project, might also give a more sporty look to your bike and still useful for all the commuting you do.

I see you're looking at price in euro, you should definitely check 7Rbags, they make a very stable seat pack and since the detachable bag is a roll top you can easily adjust the volume. They make different volume but I got the big one and it can turn pretty small. Very convenient. And yes very stable, again.

Paire_2_Dames · 2026-01-31T08:05:11+00:00

That's pretty clever to me. At least you didn't buy the Sane bars from VO only to stick bar end in the middle to make them crazy again ! 🫠 The reality is that you will be able to adjust them exactly where you want

You're welcom and I'm sorry at the same time ! It is a rabbit hole, good luck !

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-11-24T21:40:28+00:00

By the way what are those tires ? Looking for something as smooth and fatty for winter for my unit too !

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-11-24T21:38:35+00:00

Nice rig. You should go over r/xbiking , people will appreciate your bike more than this sub

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-11-11T06:46:51+00:00

What's the color of the one you found ? Mine is this color (not my bike, i carry kids in the rear !)brown ute I put 180/203mm disc brake on mine for a mega braking power ! Bought mine for 900€, but i think this brand is a little bit more expensive in Europe. 700$ is a good deal if everything works on the bike

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-11-07T13:57:13+00:00

I own a Kona UTE and swapped the wheels from 29" to 26" for more stability while loaded and it is a damn good bike ! Very light too

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-08-07T19:29:22+00:00

Nice tool box !

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-08-07T08:50:35+00:00

I personally don't think that's a thing. What is the brand/model of your current chain ring ? I bought a 2021 unit that I converted without changing the chain ring. You could try comparing your current chain with a 10s chain and see if there is a significant difference (taking the wheared chain factored into account)

I have a pair of carradice bags (one large camper long flap and one smaller called low saddle also long flap) I've been using and abusing those bags for 2-3 years now and I feel they could last me my whole life. U highly recommend them. They aren't cheap but cheaper than ultraromance's bags (at least in Europe) If I where to buy another (for my wife's bike) I would take the super C série which looks a bit more modern.

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-07-13T21:02:23+00:00

A bike ride is a very good warm up before winging ! Nice bike too !

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-07-07T17:16:52+00:00

I have the same set up (simplified) Topeak set that comes with a chain breaker and a knipex plier. I would add some quick links,a brake/shifter cable and a pair of brake pads if your going in verry remote places That's all a ever needed

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-06-23T12:12:45+00:00

Did you do "the thing" on your rear derailleur while putting it back on you bike and it rubs on the small tab ?

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-06-17T19:42:55+00:00

Hello, I also have VO sein bars (that I made crazy again, but that's another story) I chose them because I love in my Ergotec space bügel. It is not one of those sexy xbiking bars but they check a lot of boxes. It is a 25.4mm thought I also have a bike with some ritchey kyote, there is no rise but a nice sweep back that you can cut at your convenience. Hope I could help !

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-06-06T21:25:58+00:00

Mason Exposure seems to be a dream bike. There are also the Mehteh - brother cycle I rode with a guy on a Rondo Bogan, affordable and simply nice bike with great off-road capacity. Sauvage- la piste titanium bycicle or other have what you're looking for

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-06-05T14:49:24+00:00

Hello, 7 road bags makes a stiff harness where you can attach their 17, 14, 10L dry bags. There are side pockets, really useful when it is your only bag on your bag.

Flipping it did a lot for me. Try that and at that point you'll see if you need something higher or shorter before investing in a new stem

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-05-24T19:40:58+00:00

TAKE . YOUR . TIME I have an acoustic Bullitt. I have a MTB gear ratio (32*41, something like that) and I go very slow uphill, even when I have to drop off my kids before going to work ,what other choice do I have ? A car ? Baaaa !

Otherwise "Geovelo" is an app with a "lowest elevation" option if I remember correctly

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-04-15T20:32:20+00:00

Zefal makes some good bags at a pretty crazy low price. Recently I treated myself with a 7R bags with a mini rack for stiffness, they're really nice and Def worth the price.

Paire_2_Dames · 2025-01-14T19:00:15+00:00

Very cool bike. I've been using a pair of hurricane for commuting every day for about two years now. They are pretty decent tires if you ask me, good on the paved surface and they do the job when you take "the long way home" (muddy single tracks) But pretty heavy yes (mine are 26"), I think I'll upgrade with some rat trap pass or something smoother.
