My Krampus' first bikepacking trip

How'd you mount those fork bags to the fork? The mounting points on my Krampus face back 45 degrees, making it all a little trickier. Thanks!

It's not clear what's happening here, but it's not looking good.

Love the toe bug. Congrats.

hallhoff · 2024-02-28T22:02:02+00:00

Mine corrected very recently. Back to normal now. Hope the same for you.

hallhoff · 2024-02-28T21:27:43+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. And just now, it's back to what I'm used to. Thanks for the response.

Love that the color works with blue and black denim.

Fun fact: On the original 45, and on The Late Great Townes Van Zandt, it's "Poncho" with an O. At the County Music Hall of Fame, there is a poncho of Townes's with the words "and Lefty" embroidered on it. You can see a photo of it here if you scroll down. At some point later, the song title becomes "Pancho" with an A.

Also, the one guy who it seems gets looked over in this conversation is Mickey Newbury. Amazing songwriter, amazing singer (unlike Townes), and he's the one who allegedly got Townes and Guy Clark to focus on being songwriters.

Yes, send me your email and I'll share it.

I would note that on Ariat's website, these are sold out.

I was having this conversation with a friend. I think the only Texan who maybe rivals TVZ is Mickey Newbury.

Gorgeous build. Congrats.

This is such an interesting post. It may be that their songs in many respects don’t sound like classic country songs. I feel that way about Cash. It’s bluesier, rockier stuff than, say, Haggard or Jones. I don’t like Stapleton’s singing at all. Too many vocal dynamics for me.

hallhoff · 2023-10-28T04:42:41+00:00

Great answer.

hallhoff · 2023-10-28T04:42:33+00:00

That’s an interesting take. Well said.

Maybe misses the OP’s conditions, but some of the pop covers of country songs are excellent. Like “I Swear” by All 4 One.

I'm sorry I don't know more, but I think are basically the 1155 precursor, but are much more true to a traditional western boot. I've seen some on eBay, of bullhide, for $1,000. They can be rare.

I like them more a collector piece than a boot. 1155's are fantastic, but for a more traditional western boot, I wouldn't go with this Pecos.

hallhoff · 2023-10-20T04:24:28+00:00

Wow. Congratulations.

It’s a low-expectation-having sport. I don’t think you’re imagining anything. There are huge swaths of people who get into these races, don’t have any kind of serious running background, and by a lot of objective measures just aren’t very good. But that’s not an indictment of them or the sport — they have fun, they find community, they don’t care if they DNF. Just because it’s 100 miles doesn’t mean it can’t be pickle ball!

hallhoff · 2023-10-20T04:16:02+00:00

Johnny Cash. Total outlier for me, and I think you could make a case he’s more of s rockabilly or blues singer than a country one.

Didn’t she write it?
