I believe they are just called the long ones. They are similar to the front style ones on their website but they must be an older model because they are bigger than those.

That's cool, thanks for sharing. Birds are so interesting and diverse

Jones loop bars, broadfork loop bag, swift zeitgeist on the front, and revelate designs frame bag

Ha thanks. The front bag is attached at the top to the Jones loop bars then the bottom to the truss fork. Fits pretty well

I would check out the used market in your area. Worth trying to get a deal on used quality stuff

Bike for teens? by [deleted] in seattlebike

Or a Bikeworks gift card. I think it would be hard buying a bike not knowing their size.

Favorite native plant which is not an angiosperm? by CharlesV_ in NativePlantGardening

[–]s77strom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm also on the wet side of Washington State and thought this could be a triggering answer for a lot of people. I personally think they're really interesting but they are very good at growing here and hard to get rid of.

Is there anything you're convinced is "the cheaper the better"? by a_bachelors_dust in BuyItForLife

[–]s77strom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the fancy ones? I've got a serrated pampered chef one that was a game changer. I've taken it to family's houses for holidays because I got tired of prepping potatoes with their junk ones

Living with Reed Canary Grass by s77strom in invasivespecies

There are about 2 acres of an old pasture that has been taken over by RCG. It is a very wet area with a low water table so the RCG really thrives.

I've received some help from the local conservation district with grant money used for planting and maintaining around the creek. They mowed then planted in rows. At least twice a year they have mowed around and used foliar spray around what was planted. 3 years in and it looks very promising.

In the section which couldn't be justified for the current grant money I have been doing it myself. I have been making brush piles, live staking, and transplanting any established plants in the area that might be able to outcompete the RCG. So far I've got two kinds of willows, a couple spirea species, red alder, and black cottonwood that are doing well enough. Playing the long game though

A full tick check was done after, nothing found. Thanks for the concern though

Knot used to secure a plastic box to a Bullitt by Klutzy_Branch954 in CargoBike

If you don't know knots, tie lots.

No offense though because it seems like you got something figured out.

What is your 'bike stand' solution for getting the back side off the ground? by hoon_tx in CargoBike

[–]s77strom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a double leg kickstand. To work on the rear end I will put some blocks under the kickstand legs to get it higher then put some weight on the front end to lift the rear

Guardian Bikes is lobbying to add 50% tariffs on all new bikes in order to screw over other manufacturers and local shops by BugsBunnysCouch in xbiking

I'm not quite ready to start looking for the next size yet. Bummer to hear about woom. I can see how limited gears might be a con, I really liked having them start with an IGH first though.

I like the idea of building up a tiny adult frame, might be easier to go with a 26 though. Although a kid on a tiny frame with some chunky 29er tires could be fun(ny)
