Chain wear and cassette question

Even the bike dealer where I bought is said "WHAT?? How could they now have that?". So I mounted one holder on the handlebar (I have a bike with a cup holder now!) plus modded the rear section for some heavy duty longhaul schlepping. http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Muddy4.JPG Naah, under the down tube, maybe even on top of the down tube close to bottom bracket. And you could fit a real keg on top of the top tubes. |

Looks like a nice spot for a strap-on cage, one that could hold a large bike bottle. Then add a short bottle in the main triangle to supplement the big one up top and some weight can come out of those panniers... perhaps to enable a second growler at appropriate times? -- Gregory S.

Been a while since I re-filled both bottles at once, but the steroids are working now, so I might go that far before the roads get slick. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |

It won't get here before the smoke has cleared out. They sent everyone from our Amazon warehouse home because it filled with smoky air and became unhealthy. A couple of my orders including the cassette and derailer are on hold now. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Been a while since I re-filled both bottles at once, but the steroids are working now, so I might go that far before the roads get slick. Many of my rides are about 40mi at a pretty good clip (for my age ...) and in the hot summers here that either requires carrying around a gallon or detouring to get to sports fields or churches with a drinking fountain. I find it more efficient to carry the water. Road bike trips can be done with much under a gallon but not MTB trips and some of those have zero re-fill opportunities. The other reason for carrying excess is other riders and most of all hikers who mis-planned. Or who didn't plan at all. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Looks like a nice spot for a strap-on cage, one that could hold a large bike bottle. Until you crash or have to jump in a hurry. That would change the voice to soprano :-) This is a reason why I didn't buy the 2012 model Fuji and opted for a 2013 model. The 2012 has a bottle holder mount but the standover height is excessive. You really don't want that on an MTB. ... Then add a short bottle in the main triangle to supplement the big one up top and some weight can come out of those panniers... perhaps to enable a second growler at appropriate times? My bicycle growler retired a long time ago when I started home-brewing again. Now I sometimes carry a pre-cooled crash-proof stainless steel thermos in the top trunk with homemade IPA in there, for the lunch break during a hard ride. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
