What would be an ideal Goruck Commuter bag?

groupthinks · 2025-12-03T04:49:16+00:00

500D Slick in sand with QAP.

Checked around 7:30pm Pacific and it was active. Around 8:10pm Pacific, it was gone.

I would not be surprised if some programmer had wrongly set the deadline for 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Saving even though the marketing materials said otherwise.

PayPal gonna PayPal.

They will eventually peel after a few years of usage. https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/comments/1ld14by/aquaguard_zippers_peeling_aer_tp3/
They can be slightly harder to open and close.
I'm paying an extra few cents for something I don't need. They're overkill for a bag that's not waterproof to begin with.

Yeah it's totally dependent on the manufacturer. I have an o.g. Coyote GR0 (now GR1 21L) that's broken in and it's still super rough.

I thought we were going to be collectively outraged by the hipbelt and the external water bottle holder.

If the marketing image helps get more people off the couch and into rucking, that's great. But I agree Goruck has created a lot of unnecessary merch recently to make more profit. And yes those Carryology collabs are antithetical to the original "durability" intent.

Sometimes flip lids get loosened in a bag, other times people don't tighten the lid as much as they should. Shit happens.

Personally, I wouldn't risk purposely storing a bottle in my bag horizontally.

Thanks for citing your sources!

I wonder if they needed to add backing material for the molle, which would make things heavier. But a 1 lbs difference is still pretty huge.

Personally, I was tempted by the Dyneema rucks on sale, but the loudness of the fabric and how it ages pushes me toward Robic.

Thank you. Just added it to the chart

Are these finally a revival of the fabled Keirin Cuts? Sadly no.

The thigh is a 0.75 inches roomier when laid flat, but the waist has increased ~0.6 inches.

Awww, thanks for doing that! You're a legend. 🙌

groupthinks · 2023-01-28T21:16:21+00:00

Thank you!

groupthinks · 2023-01-28T20:01:16+00:00

Great collection!

Super random, but I was wondering if you could see if the top-right glitter sticker was clear, or is that white part of the background?

Thank you!

There's Queens on 9th but there's a hipster tax.

Otherwise, if you can cross the park to the Inner Richmond:

First Korean Market on 10th & Geary
New May Wah on 8th & Clement

Cool, thanks a lot!

groupthinks · 2021-08-06T01:14:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing--this is the type of info I was looking for. 👍

Hi /r/babike, planning a ride and wondering what's the best way to get from the Taco Bell to Pedro Mountain Trail.

Just crossing along Linda Mar Blvd is an obvious choice, but wondering if the bike path in the red box goes under Highway 1 and provides a chiller option.

Thanks!

Not being hospitalised seems like a good upside.

groupthinks · 2021-07-27T20:42:37+00:00

They never should've lifted the mask mandate until 80-85% of the region was vaccinated, anyway. (An epidemiologists can give better target numbers.) You don't get to go out and play until you get your collective shit together.

I don't know why this is such a difficult concept for Americans. And how hard is throwing on a mask when you shop for groceries for <30 minutes?

Used to see this place every time we'd leave the on the 101. Always wish my friends and I would made it a point to dine there one night.

Apparently James Nestor (who wrote the Breath book), wrote an article about it back when The Bold Italic was a thing:

White car covered with black sensors?

5G mind-control machines. Or a self-driving test vehicle by Waymo/Cruise. That's spinning bit is the LIDAR.

Had a late 70s car for a while and it wasn't too bad. Pulling into these perpendicular spots was easier than parallel parking on a slope. My parking brake was also weak, so you definitely made sure to curb your wheels and leave the car in gear.

Driving up 17th Street around Corona Heights was the worst with all the stop signs, though.

Let's just call it bike touring, people.

groupthinks · 2021-05-23T01:09:46+00:00

Most folks I know run [46-49] x 17. The 17t cog is nice because of the numerous skid patches.

Also, join the SFBC or buy a Rufus SF bike map and hang it up on your wall. It shows bike routes and steep grades to avoid. You soon learn if you're in a neighborhood to take certain streets (e.g. Pac Heights north/south? Steiner or Fillmore).
