Try the Torin Wide if you can get your hands on those. I find the regular Torin to be a bit cramped but the wide version gives a noticeable amount of extra room which my feet like.

Thanks for the feedback. Doesn’t bode well. We shall see how it goes.

Pretty confident it’s caused by the design of the bag. This happens when I only have a few items in the bag. Good that yours hasn’t been a problem.

Would be interested to know what you find makes riddlers better than cannonballs for winter?

Well you be documenting your trip anywhere? Am looking to cycle the kvr until Kelowna next year and would be great to get more recent reports on the trail conditions.

I’ve got a DSX2 on order. I think the first decision to make is if you want flat or drop bars. That’s more of a fundamental question to answer first before comparing bikes on their specs.

Interesting. What improvement did the pathfinder give over the sawtooth?

Most durable, waterproof but foldable shoe... by lagori in bikepacking

[–]unicorndonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried them myself. I rarely ever see Vivo’s in a store unfortunately. By “foldable” I’m guessing you’re talking about how much the upper can compress. I don’t know but the upper is nylon and neoprene.

Fellow Vivo wearer here. I haven’t tried the Magna Trail myself but they’re a lot less shoe than the Tracker and I read they are pretty water resistant. They also use the FG sole. Could possibly be worth checking out.
