Some post breaking in thoughts...
I think that I need a front rack to carry luggage and move my front light. At least for any longer trips. I have been eyeing the Allygn diamond rack, if it ever comes available. But it seems it might require a drilled fork crown and mine is not. We’ll see where this goes. But as of now, barely anything fits between my bars and my front light. Suggestions?
I can also appreciate the increase in comfort when shifting gears that a slightly more flared handlebar would offer. When the drops are filled with luggage, that is.
What else. I really liked the handlebar tape I picked up and wrapped the night before departure. BLBs pro-satin somethsometh.. very grippy. I like it.
Snack pouch or some sort of tt bag eould be great and a frame bag leaving room for two bottles.
Cant decide if I want to go holster/rolltop or carradice for rear loading. I have only used a carradice before, but with out a bag man.
The biggest disappointment was the wahoo. Although I was glad to have it. I think the turn by turn navigation sucked as it was constantly 200m behind sort of making the visual cues redundant and requiring me to stay focused on navigating more than I thought I would have to be. But maybe thats a good thing, idk.
Hoping to go riding again later this week. This might level the text/image ratio in this thread.
