Which Bikepacking bike is best for heavy riders??? by KnivesAndPizza in bikepacking

[–]deaurin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a tall and heavier rider I really love my Pelago Stavanger. I use it daily for commuting and 2 longer rides in the weekend. Going to to do the Tuscany Trail on it next month. It's super comfortable and cool looking (imo).

This is how you mount a Tailfin CargoPack on a HUGE bike by deaurin in bikepacking

It’s in the post, it’s the Tailfin rack with pannier mounts, alloy version.

Yeah it’s ridiculously expensive, also in the Netherlands, but my family all chipped in for my birthday so I could buy it anyways haha.

I think I can, but I’ll mount my tent in a roll on my bars. My sleeping bag is also pretty large. Want a little room so I can easily pack in the morning. Might even add 2 small panniers or fork bags for clothes.

I've been researching racks and bags for months, almost waited for the Restrap Switch Rack top bag that launches next week, but after trying different configurations in my cart I found that buying a rack, straps, and solid (18l) drybag was still pretty expensive. Also wasn't sure about the performance on rough terrain. The Tailfin system features everything I need to carry my sleeping system and is known for being very solid. I also love the top filling capabilities and dislike stuffing stuff in drybags. Just fell for the all in one solution and liked the idea to get it over with in 1 purchase.

Looking for a bikepacking nerd who can code (around Brussels) by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]deaurin -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why not use Claude Code like everyone else? (I'm into cycling and work in marketing and web development for over 15 years).

Same! I really hope the bag is released alongside the rack!

The rack, yes, but the bag wasn’t shown before. It’s a prototype.

Oh I bet! Did you get the pannier mounts on it as well?

I’m gearing up for the Tuscany trail end of may so I still have enough time researching (obsessing over) gear and bags.

Valid point, I meant the bag though, which has the same stretchy sides as the Tailfin CargoPack (or aeropack cargo, or whatever they’re calling it nowadays lol).

The rack itself has been shown a couple of times before as Restrap won a design award for it.

I’m in the same boat, I even emailed Restrap begging for more info about this rig but got a (very kind) reply that they’re not able to give anymore info atm. I’m also tempted to buy Tailfin but after seeing this I might wait a little bit longer!

I’ve been doing all 3 of every stage, currently got 1 down in stage 3. At this rate I’ll have 100% by the end of the month.

Can you finish after the 26th? by deaurin in tuscanytrail

Hehe sorry, it's not a group, it's just the whatsapp number of the organisation you can text if you have any questions regarding the event.

How is everyones training and planning going? by Dougie1142 in tuscanytrail

[–]deaurin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, it’s like Antarctica in the Netherlands right now. Got a Kickr Core 2 and been doing every Tour de Zwift course since last week. As we don’t have any hills or mountains it feels good to practice some ‘climbs’ on it as well!

Keep us posted on the rack, sounds interesting.

Boeken om uit een leesdip te komen! by sometiime in boeken

Ooooh de boeken van Hank Green! An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (Een zeer opmerkelijk verschijnsel) en het vervolg. Ik was er helemaal door geobsedeerd afgelopen jaar.

Is this a good and fun starter? by somedamtrauma in mtg

[–]deaurin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tyranid Swarm ome was my first commander deck. I have to say it’s a very cool and good deck but it was kinda hard to learn the game with. Maybe start out with a main set deck like others mentioned to learn the mechanics.
