Not to be contrarian ( not my intent at all) but my journey is a bit different. I am a mountain biker at heart. A few years back I graduated to a full suspension bike (Ibis Mojo 3) after a back surgery suggested that might be a good idea. I know the intent of suspension is for traction but it does

Jay,I did not use a Pec Deck. There was plenty of clearance. I do use a Swood T-rack to keep the bags off the head tube and provide some stability. Simple and works really well. https://swoodcycles.bigcartel.com/product/twisted-t-bar-JacobSent from my iPhoneOn Apr 16, 2023, at 9:25 PM, Jay Lonner

Hey Brian,The issue I ran into was the noodle hitting the Surly rack. I think it’s the Surly 8 pack rack? It doesn’t offer a ton of flexibility in mounting.

Jacob I have one additional question — when using a large Fabio’s Chest do you use any sort of rack or support such as a Pec Deck? I can’t see one in the photo, but maybe that’s your Jammer?Jay LonnerBellingham, WASent from my Atari 400On Apr 16, 2023, at 5:13 PM, Jacob Byard wrote: Hello All- I’

Looks great! Just curious, how have the MotoLites been causing issues with fitting racks? I’ve had two different front racks, and two different rear racks on my Medium Gus - also with MotoLites. The only part that ever came close to the brake was the front rack diving boards, and they still cleared

That looks great. I had a Gus Boots in my cart on the day they were released but ended up deciding to go in a different direction. Rim brakes were one of factors that deterred me. I think my build would have been very close to yours, though.Not to hijack your thread, but I was very interested to le
