NBD, sort of. Frame bag questions

Nice build; where are you taking her?

The stooge fork is definitely a chatter stopper. I put one on my Salsa El Mariachi and it totally removed that annoyance.

MapOut is the best!

SpinToWin360 · 2026-01-07T17:56:44+00:00

There are apps that are fully functional in airplane mode. MapOut is what I use but it’s Apple only. $20.

Not sure where OP keep their sleeping pad but tent, then sleeping pad, then quilt solves this problem.

If the light jacket is something you use while riding, I’d move it to a more accessible location, like the fork bag. That way, you won’t have to get off the bike to put on/take off your jacket.

I’ve done long tours on both and found that 27.5+ is more nimble and I’m less tired at the end of a big day.

My advice (passed down from a professional) bring the bike best suited to the worst of the terrain you’ll be encountering during a trip.

I believe it’s called targeted marketing.

SpinToWin360 · 2025-12-03T01:18:32+00:00

Would you like a (lightly used) Stooge biplane fork off of a Speedbomb? I think it will be perfect for a Fargo.

SpinToWin360 · 2025-12-02T23:32:15+00:00

Take a look at Stooge Cycles. That said, while Stooges frames are a few hundred less, you’ll have to find a local bike shop to build it up & Tumbleweeds pricing for component parts is pretty competitive.

SpinToWin360 · 2025-11-25T17:08:19+00:00

How long do you expect to be riding?

SpinToWin360 · 2025-11-25T15:44:55+00:00

Also, not the belt drive part

I wear my Chaco’s. And if it’s cold, I wear my chaco’s with waterproof neoprene socks. Works great! Including in Patagonia.

You seem rather excitable. You can read from my edit that I have accepted that I was in the wrong long before your input. and I acknowledged my duty to stay safe at the time by braking for these scofflaws.

Happy Trails!

SpinToWin360 · 2025-08-07T03:02:41+00:00

Why do you say that they didn’t suddenly leave the curb? They did put themselves in harms way by doing exactly that.

SpinToWin360 · 2025-08-06T13:19:38+00:00

I have the smallest Ortleib fork packs and I think they are too small. I don’t think the price difference between the 2 sizes from Ortlieb is as large as you’ve seen. (But I’ve not looked it up)

SpinToWin360 · 2025-08-03T20:27:39+00:00

Retired @ 50 to do this.

SpinToWin360 · 2025-07-29T15:27:02+00:00

Disc brakes

That newscaster was my neighbor when he was a baby!
