thank you, makes sense and worth a try

I did a ride with a proper saddle bag fitted yesterday.

What, this?

for when you need to carry a spare frame

Would not use those on a tapered fork leg

Been doing it for years on my Surly

I feel underrepresented by this chart. Bike bros matter.

i think one bolt and zip-tie(s) should offer plenty enough retention and friction for a small load.
it's for a carbon cdf fork, so the blade has variable section

Remember vibrations are your enemy.

I'd recommend securing a piece of bar tape to the fork at the contact point of the zip tie with some electical tape so that it's sandwiched between fork and cage. Also make sure the cut head of the zip tie does not touch the drybag or it will work through it pretty quickly. Useless to say, have spare ties with you.

would love to have a go on a kibo

then get disc tabs welded

Lets not normalise rim brakes on this side of Atlantic, JB is spearheading this in California but it never rains there.

Everyone riding off road needs disc brakes.

they're honestly fine, ok yeah you may slip on the steeper stuff and be unable to come to a fall stop, and yes, one particularly muddy ride could take half your brake track, ok yes, they may squeel a little when wet, well ok yes, they require a 40£ tool to set up consistently and well im not denying it is a pain to find a 29r rim

but they look cute :)

JB lives in California?

live for the day where amey realises i'm not doing this rim brakes schtick as a bit and that i'm genuinely an unhealthy, rim brake fanatic, operating on pure ideology

Jan, is that you?

ok maybe i have like 10% materialism
