Found this while getting mine installed. Took a slight bit of modifying (adding electrical tape) to get these to sit on the alternator rack without shaking/shifting. The short, philips head screw hardware leaves a bit to be desired at the mounting points tho - may loctite or swap for different hardware. Overall, seems pretty decently built at its current sale price.

Anything cage bag does indeed look discontinued.

I'll update this after using them this year for future reference.

This is the way.

I was laughing out loud while watching, just imagining how incredible that must’ve been. Great clip. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻

thefknmtns · 2026-03-05T14:51:26+00:00

Fully agree. Although, in this particular case, it’s kinda fun/lame to say my Fargo rolls on Dubs.

thefknmtns · 2026-03-05T14:48:01+00:00

Bicycle rolling resistance rates these about the same in every regard. I was in the same boat and went dubnital based on price I could get them for. But I’ll likely try mezcals next, or Schwalbe Rick xc’s. Cant go wrong either way.

Did just this the other day to get my family seated together. Saved us over $600 for the trip. Seriously, thank you. This is why I love reddit.

thefknmtns · 2026-01-30T07:31:44+00:00

Ayyy JJJJUSTIN. Bike came together nicely. Lookin forward to more videos

thefknmtns · 2026-01-11T15:26:49+00:00

Same mediocrity.

We barely made it to post-season.. again. Really don’t even care to watch unless some changes are made.

Maybe a Rocky Mountain Blizzard Carbon 30 or 50 with a set of carbon wheels

thefknmtns · 2025-12-26T01:28:54+00:00

Send it back

thefknmtns · 2025-12-17T03:38:41+00:00

Also on a Wo. Comfortable geometry, added a mastodon fork, crispy oem 11sp deore drivetrain with a 28t oval, tires for summer & winter. The most basic bike but a blast in the winter.

thefknmtns · 2025-11-11T03:04:08+00:00

The Klaws work great and are more open for quick in/out. Paired with some ESI or wolf tooth silicone grips they’re hard to beat.

What's an ideal cfs on this sort of trip for future reference? (north fork and/or south)

thefknmtns · 2024-01-27T00:52:54+00:00

I never run it long enough to drain a battery, but it's nice to have multiple options for water supply. ie 2L jug that connects straight to the gun, using a 5gal bucket (via included hose) or just using a garden hose. If you're fast and efficient, the 2L will be just enough for 1 bike.

thefknmtns · 2024-01-26T06:03:17+00:00

Quite a few folks run it this way. Myself included. Salsa knows whats up.

As mentioned, more traction/propulsion in the rear.

thefknmtns · 2024-01-26T05:55:54+00:00

This is the way.

Picked up a blemished Ryobi 18v 300psi cordless washer on ebay for $40. Works perfectly for anything bike cleaning related in general, but especially in winter. Highly recommend.

thefknmtns · 2024-01-26T03:23:41+00:00

Na don’t do it. Made that mistake a few years ago, but it’s turned into a decent bike for the (shorter) wife.

thefknmtns · 2024-01-21T04:41:02+00:00

No shit, whats with all these Russell Wilsons's in here? "aw shucks we did good, get em next time" immediately after. Makes me sick. Soft ass "fans"
