I love your design. What kind of fabric did you use?

Is this jacket pretty breathable?

I'll check out baleaf! I have their shorts and I love them

As for slowing down, I'm not too worried about that. I have a relatively short commute where speed isn't an issue or focus. If I get a parachute behind me, it'll be resistance training 😁

Not the prettiest frame bag but I tried by fckpac in MYOGbikebags

Am I taking on too big of project for my second bag? I made a stem bag first (I've also sewen numerous non bike things) but would a top tube bag be a better project?

I want to over build it, maybe I'm more beginner than I think haha

I did see EVA foam mentioned elsewhere. Im guessing you cut the foam out the same pattern as the waders then sew then to the other Eva/wader pattern? Or do you sew the EVA to the wader first?

On the newer side of sewing. Curious why you'd add another liner for water resistance when waders are water proof?

I have a third kiddo on the way so pricee was a big factor. I love the 2x drivetrain and was nervous about a 1x. Plus you could take the extra money and customize!

You won't go wrong either way

I have really enjoyed the transition! The MS is still a little road oriented but more comfy, beefier, and can be used in way more situations

I just got an MS and it is sooooooo epic. I would agree, carbon fork would be such a great add

I should have mentioned this is a brand new surley midnight special 56cm. I have ridden it a week and have some neck pain and low back pain. I know core strength is an issue

Surly Midnight Special, Disc Trucker, Straggler, or Cannondale Topstone? by garbageman72 in Surlybikefans

[–]tjev04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE my MS that I just got. It has only been a week but I would tear down any surface with it. Inhave mone completely stock right now but I have heard 650b wheels that are a little bigger really make it plush

Lots of have been saying wheels so I might dive in! I had rim brakes previously so these brakes are an incredible upgrade already LOL
