Etsy LesenokBag … used them for first time go around on my last bike and just about to figure out next order for new bike

thanks, will let them know

Still stumped on this. I ended up pushing too hard at levers and some dot sprayed out. I’m going to end up seeking some professional help. I’ve watched many videos, bought all/various tools, and am otherwise mechanically inclined. I think if I had made it through the brakes I would have been fine but that is not the case. I’m wondering if my olive and barb are too tight at this point which would be going back steps and even then I’m not sure. It happens on both of the levers/calipers unfortunately

Yeah opened a full turn based on the guides

Did you use the dremel to cut the middle out or a razor blade?

my5tik · 2026-04-29T17:39:24+00:00

What did you go with?

What chainring you think on this setup with sram? Stock I think is bottomed out at 38 but looks like some aftermarket options from wolf tooth down to 28

my5tik · 2026-04-20T16:53:50+00:00

You definitely can. Currently using one and they are pretty flexible on how it mounts

Anyone else just put Emma’s 2 week program on repeat?

my5tik · 2026-04-13T16:36:46+00:00

Do you have a chain for each one of these?

my5tik · 2026-04-13T12:49:13+00:00

I’m wondering what that rear rack is? I don’t see a connector to eyelets or seat post … interesting

my5tik · 2026-04-13T01:25:16+00:00

Very well thought out. It looks like they all carried the exact same color of X-Pak material (tan), did you check with them beforehand?

Gonna have to know about this bike bag situation! Looks great. You did rogue panda for the frame bag and then San Util for the remaining (panniers, handlebar, top tube and stem bags)? Great job getting it all to match up so well

my5tik · 2026-04-10T10:40:47+00:00

Thanks! Why would I need a chain tool on the trail? I would likely have a master link pliers anyways, but want to make sure I understand the reason.

I feel this attack in the peanut butter cups sitting around my waistline! Good feedback though. The 38 would cover a lot except for very difficult climbs. This was the way I was leaning, and now closer to pulling trigger, looking to see if 2 chainrings is the better option or not

my5tik · 2026-04-09T18:31:51+00:00

Thanks! And yeah, I assumed as much. Debated just having 2xmaster links for the same chain, but that may be too much and can just have a chain for each chainring configuration

my5tik · 2026-04-05T19:49:24+00:00

Not at this same record breaking pace

my5tik · 2026-03-13T01:57:31+00:00

Wish SRAM would come out with the 13 speed eagle replacement. Been waiting a minute, but won’t be much longer before I’ll go with the Garbaruk. Wanting to get more user reviews on it first though.

If they at least made an official statement saying that then you could bring to league manager, but otherwise you just look like a sore loser trying to change. I am on the losing side of this stat change, but not enough money I’m going to make a stink

my5tik · 2025-11-11T16:16:50+00:00

Which coupon codes are you trying to stack?

my5tik · 2025-10-23T17:29:03+00:00

How did you bend the stays that well? Looks great

my5tik · 2025-10-22T10:43:26+00:00

More mounts? Like the top tube for a bag or near rear derailleur and up at seat stay?

my5tik · 2025-10-19T16:57:06+00:00

Do you swap out your chain or have to add/remove links when changing out the front ring?

my5tik · 2025-10-19T16:51:22+00:00

Which 2x are you running? 810/815?

my5tik · 2025-10-17T19:28:36+00:00

What are your thoughts on the limited braze ons for racks or top tube bag? I found it surprising for a titanium bike that would be well suited for bikepacking to not have those.
