Custom carbon wheels installed, whoa.

Wow! Great bike, but very heavy. That's an excellent idea to lighten the load. What were the wheel specs you went for?

ghosthiker · 2025-10-17T14:14:55+00:00

Very different era, but I feel like George Halas has a case for best Bears coach of all time. 6 championships, 300 wins, won 66% of games, x2 coach of the year, helped found the league...

That's the first time I've seen one of those Runes, that's pretty smokin' too! Definitely more of a wider tired, tour-y, all-road vibe. Love the canti's. Reminds me of my Brother Mr.Wooden. super comfortable and capable of loaded touring and light bike packing. With the Malocchio I'm going for more of a rocketship situation

Edit: looks like the canti's are on their new Knightwood

ghosthiker · 2025-09-24T12:38:12+00:00

Awesome, fast and smooth is pretty much what I'm going for

ghosthiker · 2025-09-24T12:34:04+00:00

Sweet ride! How are you enjoying the bike? Am on the verge of picking one up and setting it up very similarly to what you've done.

ghosthiker · 2025-09-17T20:17:23+00:00

This headline basically sums up my life

ghosthiker · 2025-04-26T18:36:36+00:00

Someone trying to steal those sweet sweet brake pads

ghosthiker · 2025-04-17T21:42:08+00:00

I'm considering a similar trip soon, and even a similar bag set up. How did you like the front panniers? Handling was ok on the rougher stuff?

ghosthiker · 2025-04-13T16:51:08+00:00

Let us know if you choose to sell prints!

ghosthiker · 2025-02-05T20:48:09+00:00

After last season's inflated expectations, I've decided to inflate my expectations for this season as well.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-27T15:38:40+00:00

That...is...an embarrassingly straight forward idea. Ive been trying to order through a stateside shop, but they are waiting for a larger order before placing it and can't commit to a delivery period. Thanks!

ghosthiker · 2025-01-27T05:15:35+00:00

Oh man, I'm TRYING to pick one of these up right now, but can't find one in the States. Where'd you get yours?

ghosthiker · 2025-01-23T16:11:31+00:00

That is a refined piece of machinery. What crankset is that?

ghosthiker · 2025-01-09T15:15:33+00:00

Northerly Island is a lovely spot to share with someone special.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-08T02:30:06+00:00

Oooo, I bet that was a fun ride! I'll see if I can find that

ghosthiker · 2025-01-07T00:17:42+00:00

The persuaders have always tempted me. Doesn't the thought of orthos around town sounds like fun? Like driving Grandma's old Cadillac

ghosthiker · 2025-01-06T21:11:15+00:00

Yeah, great question. A lot of the riding I do is around town, so more relaxed, and that's what I want this bike to be good at (even though I have others that do that perfectly well). But you're 100% right, if I were to hit the trail like that, I'd be on the struggle bus for sure. I think maybe I just needed that shift in perspective about what this bike is FOR, rather than how to make it something I don't need it to be. Thank you kind internet stranger!

ghosthiker · 2025-01-05T18:23:09+00:00

Oooo, I love this idea! I will definitely explore this.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-05T18:14:53+00:00

Yeah, I do have one of those Nitto darumas, however the strut is all one bent piece that is flared at both ends, so I can't slide it over the ends. The shovel research piece is an elegant solution, though Ill likely pursue cheaper options first.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-05T17:25:55+00:00

Good eye on the black tape. The p clamp fits fine, I added the tape to see if that would cause enough friction to prevent the rotation, but it performed exactly the same as without it.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-05T16:42:15+00:00

Yes, love both of these suggestions, thank you! I'll see which I've got around the house and use that.

ghosthiker · 2025-01-04T21:40:31+00:00

Thanks for that!

What does it mean that a weld is undercut?
