most of us wear a pack or camelback - I usually use an endura MT500 pack with a back protector.
A pack harness and a chesty is bordering on bondage - not keen.
Is there a chest harness that integrates into a pack harness to avoid the straps on straps on straps?

No problem with the bags and the suspension movement - only 100mm anyway. There are frame bags out there for more difficult shock placement. If you can fit one biddon in the triangle, you should be able to get a 3L frame bag, if you can fit 2 bottles then you should get 5 or 6L. The biggest...
There are 2 routes from Endric/Red Ground T junction, straight ahead on the Endrick River firetrail and right on the Red Ground firetrail. The Red Ground firetrail is the AOTB route and was OK apart from being overgrown, no obvious private property, no gates other than the NP bogan gate just...
The Epic is only 100mm. I don't think I could have managed the loose climbs without traction from the rear suspension and I would have been beaten up by the descents. All up there was only around 11kg extra on the bike and it was reasonably balanced, I just pumped the shocks up a little - all...
The 8sp ebike derailleur is https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/rd-ex1-a1
The overwhelming opinion is that I'm a woose and that 42 is the new 36. I'll give a 11-42 a try and see what happens - when I can find one - damn you covid bike parts shortage.

2/3 of Attack of the Buns
I attacked Nowra to Bungendore from 17~19-feb solo. Firstly, it was fantastic.

good afternoon team,
I have a 10sp SRAM XX rear derailleur with exact actuation that will go up to 36t cassette.
Shimano have just released 11-42 and 11-46 10sp cassettes (bastards),
I can't see any extender cages that will fit my vintage XX mech :(
SRAM have just released an NX derailleur for...
Sorry a bit late... I too run the TRP HyRd calipers with Campag 10sp levers and 160 rotors on a gravel bike - fully laden Syd-Melbs touring all good.
The original TRP pads were OK-ish - lasted 5k of touring/commuting. I prefer the Shimano M515 resin pads for power and quietness.
Pushing...
@Flow-Rider - the original idea was to take a light/small iPad birthday present touring/bikepacking rather than a laptop and have the ability to route offline.
I like Basecamp, but I'd have to say Google routing has overtaken it. The last couple of rides I exported a google kml to Basecamp then...
OK so big thanks to @timedward - MapOut is a great iOS app and well worth the $7.99 - the manual is wonderful.
It downloads OSM tiles when online and will perform routing offline to produce a gpx file. The UI is nice and clean.
Getting that 'gpx' off the iPad and putting a 'fit' in the Garmin...
The garmin 530 is surprisingly good at dispalying the route for navigation - so I'm looking for making routes around the campfire the night before.
I've had a go at strava routes - agree with @creaky it's a bit clunky and won't work off line.
Maybe there's something I'm missing with Komoot - it...
I must be missing something really simple here - I don't believe it could be that hard.
I have a small-ish GPS (edge 530) that is OK as a display of directions on the bars while riding - but far too small to do tour planning and routing.
I can do that with a laptop using basecamp - but that...
Another f-ing standard where an established standard works perfectly well - it's like the boost BB all over again - there has been a colour code since before Schwinn added a spring fork and fat tire to handle the abuse of teenage boys in 1930.
2mm is red
2.5mm is red/green (sans gold stripe as...
Gravedig, I have some 29er Rockshox, SID XX World Cup (with added brain) forks sitting in the fix-it bin that need a new CSU.
The blaxkbox CSU that came with it is very pretty - but more than the cost of a new fork to replace.
Back in 2014 @SummitFever said...
So what CSU's will fit these...
