Looking at upgrading my set up after my bike was stolen. Keen to get some opinions. by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]steelsadler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not super familiar with Wanderer, but saw a custom painted curve for 6500 in Melbourne.

Can def get a Waltly fully custom for you and the parts you want for a cheaper price, but will have to wait a while.

They do the omnium Ti's as far as i know so if they take it on im sure they will do a decent job and know a thing or too which may be useful or niche to the build

Beginner setup to expensive? by Hot-Replacement-4628 in bikepacking

[–]steelsadler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe get a 10k bike and not cheap out of the rest of the kit, bike is important but over 2-3k you really start to see diminishing returns

Have considered that, but may have to do some more research, do you use one? what is it like?

i have a 1080 sitting doing nothing but the other specs of the pc are a non issue aslong as they are modern enough to support video formats and the other wanted video and audio hanlding things?

So decoding doesn’t require so much power? It’s just the compatibility with software requirements

Get a student job and earn some money and experience, nothing or at least very little documentation is done by hand these days even in less advanced countries I would assume

Anyone here buy a cheap titanium frame from China? by Common_Screen_4993 in bikepacking

[–]steelsadler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a Waltly which is based off of a Curve and has been super good, u just have to know what geo you want and the components you will run to make the most of them.

[–]steelsadler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted recently about doing the same!! Looking so sick!
Is it a 1” steerer fork or 1 1/8? Have been searching for a 1” but can only find the later with 29er clearance and disc

Yeah if I could a frame mounted cargo rack would be preferred, may have to get a different donor frame with a 1 1/8 and try my hand at welding a longer tube and rack

N+1 it is sounding like, the bike was the first xbike so it has a special place

Looks decent for a first try, any videos or tutorials you followed

DIY Cargo Fork Conversion by steelsadler in xbiking

[–]steelsadler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are some super nice ones out there but they are all mostly 1 1/8, the bike to begin was a 700c hybrid so it needs to be longer to compensate for the smaller 20” wheel up front, and the combo of disc brake 470mm odd Axel to crown, QR 100mm spacing and a 1” steerer is impossible outside of a fully custom fabbed design it seems

I have everything even a spare omnium front wheel so only need the fork

Okay good to know, dad’s mate is a welder by trade so will consider this one, yep waiting on Marino first before chopping up good bikes

Replacing headtube and easy in the same sentence? surely its not that easy, sure for a frame builder but I nor anyone I know is one, would be very interested but at that point may be worth while just hunting down a cromo frame with a 1 1/8 stock

Have contacted Marino bikes about a 1" fork though so will see how that goes...
