    Neat find on the tubes.

    Took the fatty to Aliso last Sunday. Tons of fun (lol) was had.

    I'm a roadie. It's like drafting behind an oil tanker

    Really enjoyed Meadows. Kioti and his team did a great job on the berms!
    However, not having an adjustable seat clamp was not fun. I immediatly went out and bought a quick release clamp!

    Thanks for the great photos Arturo and Indy.

    Why is your rack empty:)? that pack should be on there, not on your back since you have 2 bottles on the frame already :lol:

    Poor planning on my part. A lack of bungee chords.

    Which bag goes well on that rack, Neil? bconneraz has a really fancy one from Canadia. Do you guys sell anything at thte shop?

    Steve-

    Banjo Brothers has some cool options that are inexpensive and work well. I run one of their trunks on my commuter. Good bag for the money.

    There's only one thing I'd change about this bag; the straps. This bag has two long straps that do a fine job of securing the bag, but not as snug as a 4 strap bag. That said, for the money, this trunk has been awesome. The side pocket is perfect for an iphone or similar.

    Dang, I need a hand here... Anyone here have a set of Hope Fatsno hubs handy?

    I need to know if the QR endcaps pop off and reveal a hollow 12mm rear axle & a 20mm front, like the Pro II Evo hubs they're based on.

    ...hoping their existing through-axle endcaps can be used in conjunction with these so I can stiffen up the rear triangles on these big fat FS frames I'm working on. I shot Hope a couple emails, but they're living up to their reputation as being hopelessly unresponsive.

    Anyone?

    Fingers crossed,
    Pete

    I can get you a definitive answer tomorrow.....but the 87% sure answer today is yes for the rear, no for the front.

    Cool that'd be a huge help, thx!

    Maybe I'll just have to make a front axle. ...easier than a rear!
