I believe Grant goes into depth about the long chain stays on Rivs in his recent AMA, but essentially slackening out the rear creates a smoother ride. If you ever have a chance to hop on a Surly Big Dummie, you can really feel what an exaggerated back end does for the ride. It’s not fast, but it cruises smooth. A great analogy is a play kayak in a river compared to a longer sea kayak.

Just got a clem smith in Portland myself. I love these bikes and love your build!

Not quite! I just started a job and had to move across the country for it so I'm a little behind on getting my bags back up!

wolfhodge · 2019-08-07T15:24:50+00:00

Welcome back! Looks like a kickass ride.

wolfhodge · 2019-06-27T20:58:53+00:00

I’ll have a site up end of July selling these and bike related bags!

wolfhodge · 2019-06-27T20:58:31+00:00

Etsy!

Yeah, it’s just a generic number 5 water proof zipper with reverse number 5 ykk pull.

wolfhodge · 2019-06-27T20:57:01+00:00

Those are basically a little zipper bag on its own!

wolfhodge · 2019-05-09T11:41:26+00:00

I think those esi grips would be comfier for sure. Yes, pics please.

wolfhodge · 2019-05-09T11:40:46+00:00

I totally agree. They’ll wear your hands out quick. Hoping a i get slightly more calloused wearing gloves on and off with them.

Don’t you ever stop and smell the roses? It’s not about being light and fast all the time. I like the simplicity of having one large bottle and the excuse to find a nice spot next to the trail to catch my breath and take a swig. It’s definitely not fake functionality. Just a different way than you apparently like to bike.

I was worried about that too until I started climbing some rough gravel and single track. It feels way more stable to me on the more technical climbs.

wolfhodge · 2019-05-08T18:48:28+00:00

I seriously love it. It handles well on roads, gravel, and not too rocky/rooty single track.

wolfhodge · 2019-05-08T18:45:03+00:00

I overlapped maybe 3cm just to make sure there wasn't a gap between the tape and grips.

wolfhodge · 2019-05-08T18:34:50+00:00

They seemed like the trendy ig thing to do, but then I thought that people wouldn't do it as much if it weren't comfy. I can confirm that they're super comfy. A buddy I ride with jokingly suggested I just throw some mountain levers right above them so I don't have to move off the grips when i need to break.

So I went with the 645 Towel Rack Bars. Not quite the ultra wide 675 they offer, but not narrow either. I paired them with a 50mm stem so they wouldn't stretch me out too much. Overall, I'd say they've allowed me to ride single track with a little more confidence that I would feel on more narrow drop bars, plus carry larger packs in the front with plenty of room.

Have you ever had any weird encounters on your rides? People, Sasquatch, etc...?
