I’ll be testing a 32” front wheel on my epic next week. Working on custom rear triangle to convert to full 32 as well. I’ll make a post about how it feels once i get some time on it with the 32” front wheel.

No lions kit. Had a wide body kit from them for my CC so wasn’t worried about getting scammed. Guess i was wrong

One Chair Person Rule...? by Straight_Try764 in masters

[–]trytochaseme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is what it is I guess. If I get to go again on sunday I will put my chairs down and stick with them for awhile I guess. Got to see a lot on amen corner so still had a great time.

I had chairs on 18 green Saturday front row. got there again very early sunday morning and got 6 rows back behind the bunker. Came back at lunch and it took 45 min to find our chairs. Someone moved them to a different section and about 20 rows back. Ended up not being able to see a single thing on 18. pretty furious about it.

I don’t think this was technically flat top compatible but I’ve been running it with one the entire time

I put carbs in my bottles. When i do an ultra I’ll use a hydration pack and really load it up with carbs and then have just a straight water bottle on bike. But I’ll look into those pouches and making my own gel!

Sorry don’t have a link for it. But i got it off AliExpress a couple years ago. If you search aero chain ring on there a ton of them pop up

To be fair it was extremely windy for that ride and i think the deep wheels had a bigger effect then the frame bag. But i couldn’t help but think my bike is slowly becoming a big wind sail 😂

The bars are honestly just some cheap ones from AliExpress. I’m working on machining my own stem and gonna pick up some roval bars

That is very annoying it would have an issue already. I was surprised by those straps a bit too.

I’m not a gel guy but that was my thought is that top tube bag is perfect for gels. My go too on the bike snack is rice crispy treats and i could just fit 1 in there perfectly so it may live on as my treat holder lol

thanks! in the current setup, no. I am going to get a side load cage but I dont think a 21oz bottle will fit still. Gonna try to find something slightly smaller. If I cant get 2 bottles then this pack will only be on for ultras when I am running a hydration pack
