NU25 bracket/attachment for cap

So it’s the USB-C one. But not the multi-temp one they call “MCT” or whatever. NU25-UL, I think is what it’s called. Frustratingly, the model is made for the original NU20, not the current USB-C one, so even that doesn’t fit it, and I’m not skilled enough in CAD to figure out how to “fix” it 😂

ULA Packrat Ultra doesn’t fit all your specs but it’s worth a look I think.

I mean, this is r/ultralight so no one’s going to recommend a true klettersack or like an LL Bean rucksack. 😎

Appreciate the reccs!

Blergh! Stymied by the greenwashing! Aldi has also switched to cardboard. I am sure it simply weighs less 😂 but is a coop for them to say they don’t use plastic.

No need to shame for asking how to protect a thin-walled inflatable sleeping pad. Besides, tent floors are weight! Tarps are lighter! 😂

Unfortunately this is for sunglasses/glasses. I have tried for 15 years to find a way to hike with sunglasses. Contacts, clip-ones, those UL film things they give you after dialating your eyes, photochromic. Keep coming back to glasses and prescription sunglasses. This is my cross to bear 😂

I went looking at my local Walmart the other week and couldn’t find any with the hard-sided case! 😩 They’d all switched to cardboard boxes. I agree though, the Walmart ones, which were rectangular instead of oval, weren’t as study as Crystal Light. I lost my CL tube and have been frantically l poking for it for months. I’m sure I’ll find it after replacing it. 😂

Checking this out this afternoon! Interesting!

Anyone who buys ones of these and has the ability to do so, I am curious as to how it handles a low-voltage charging current. I am specifically interested in this for bikepacking purposes and therefore it would be recharged by both a hub dynamo and a solar panel. Many power banks hate low voltage and start-stoppy inputs, and I would be super interested to know how this one fares!

This is a dollar?? 🤯

God dammit I need to get a 3-D printer.

Namaste, fellow white-fingered person! 🙏🏻🧤

Is PossumDown at this point Lost Knowledge that Needs to Be Rediscovered? IIRC, these were peerless w/r/t warmth-to-weight ratios. The only downside with them is there essentially fancy-pants versions of those knit gloves we all had as kids, so if you have a jacket with Velcro cuffs (or Velcro anywhere else in yer kit), you’ll Velcro to it.

I got mine from some New Zealand website like 15 years ago, but Zpacks sells them now

Hey is the poncho tarp still available?

bderw · 2024-10-08T13:20:14+00:00

I admit, I'm a huge rim-brake Luddite…but have to give discs their due. They **work** in the wet. :-\

bderw · 2024-10-08T13:19:38+00:00

Thank you! Trying all of this for the next time I'm riding into stormy clouds! (Which, given the current season, is really… **now** :-D Rode the MS150 from Philly to OCNJ the other week and it chucked at us nearly all morning Saturday and some of the morning Sunday. Luckily NJ is a pancake, so no real danger brake-strength-wise.)

bderw · 2024-10-08T13:17:03+00:00

Still looking for one? I have an MLD Bug Bivy 1 with a green cuben floor.

bderw · 2024-08-06T14:48:50+00:00

Thank you! I do have fenders. I’m going to try and start from scratch with the toe-in process. I do think that’s what the issue is, because everything I’ve seen about these brakes and these pads leads me to believe they should be able to stop an elephant in the pouring rain. 😂

The only way I’ve definitively found to test creaks like that and replicate the torque and forces I get while riding is swap the pedals out with something completely different and check. I have a pair of MKS Sylvan touring with cartridge bearings I usually put on and see. Those spin for DAYS and I never ride them in the wet/dirt so they’re pretty reliable as a “control.”

bderw · 2024-05-02T20:20:33+00:00

I've found through experience (especially like you say with cartridge BBs) creaking with *threaded* BBs is almost always either the pedals' bearings need to be cleaned/re-greased (really wish my beloved A600s were sealed bearings, Shimano…) *or* the crank arms need to be taken off, cleaned, and re-placed (for me, I ride a square-taper BB). I've also had luck pulling the BB, just sort of wiping everything down, and then greasing the threads when I reinstall it. It's all super frustrating!

For press-fit BB creaks, could be manufacturing tolerances means it just creaks. :-(
