I have a Garmin Edge Touring Plus. If I do not turn the Garmin on, it will turn itself on when I turn on the power to the power pack that I have plugged into the Garmin with the charging cord. The power pack is in a top…
I'm going to use the Microshift bar ends on my ti Fargo with the 10-speed SLX crank and FD off my deceased Fargo2, and an XT RD. I trashed the SRAM Apex when I crashed in KS last week and the X9 RD is pretty beat up too.
I agree, this is the most expensive event that I will participate in this year, but isn't breakfast included with the dorm room like it has been in previous years? \n \nI travel with a friend and split the room/ gas…

A few years ago I replaced my B17 with a Selle Antitomica Titantico. It was supposed to be for riders up to 180 pounds, but it wasn't sturdy enough for my 170 pounds, so I put Titantico X on all of my bikes. The X is…
I bought a pair of the Cazedero last year after Dirty Kanza, and I am really impressed with their performance. I wouldn't hesitate to ride them in DK if I were riding the same bike, but my new bike will fit bigger…
Trek CrossRip Comp???
I have been wearing the Shimano SH-CX50 http://www.shimano-lifestylegear.com/us/fw/products/offroad/index.php They fit well and the muddy 3 mile hike-a-bike at DK was no problem.
I use a frame bag for tools, tubes, and food. I also wear a Camelback Mule for water, a spare tire, and small items that I may need. The frame bag keeps my water bottles from bouncing out; when the Camelback runs dry, I…
