Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Seconded. Have two, never caused me any problems. I do rate the little hose thing you can get (here) as it's nicer on the valve/the gauge is useful.

Amazing bike rack and mudguard combo! cant work out if one can order it on its own.

that's what i needed to hear. I shan't buy a new seatpost for bike packing this summer then :)

I wonder whether the pannier would then be left rubbing against the seatstay?

I've just emailed Tubus — will see what they say.

M:Parts / ETC do a much cheaper version, though it looks like thinner gauge alu ....

I did some touring in France with a pretty full Carradice Nelson, with a Bagman mount, on the carbon rails of a Romin Evo and a fake Enve carbon seatpost, and I weigh 90kg. All items still alive and in one piece.

Don't actually do that though. Bikepacking bags are better.

Invariably yes ... well, resting perhaps, but is that an issue as long as the frame is protected? (e.g chain slap guard)

Oh I know that, but I think there are more attractive ways of doing it. He's seemingly spent a while on making it look nice, and then thrown that on the back!

Has that English got some kind of disc brake caliper cover/fairing?

Long Distance Dreaming - The Build

apparently it's build for a 4200km race while etap batteries last about 1000km.. So he's gonna need that saddlebag for his batteries

Yep, from Parlee

SILCA IMPERO ULTIMATE FRAME PUMP.

Nobody on the forum recommends that...

they are by far the best if you're riding instagrams

Only cause they're expensive. They're overbuilt and very, very good.

No doubt. Why bother when there's a good enough one for 20 quid?

Don't answer that, just remembered this is LFGSS

That's rad!
Is it yours?
Also who makes the stem bag?

Nah, pedalroom of the owner. Looks like it's probably a Road Runner Co-Pilot

Anyone know an obvious place to buy aluminum rack struts? Mine currently are about 25cm and I just need ones a little longer.

Rivendell in the US sell the Nitto version of these but they're $$$

I'd try sjs

@platypus hmm thought​ this may be the case, in the US and expensive. Will do more investigating, thanks.

@jv that was my first call but seem it's mainly struts specific to Brompton racks. Thanks
