Matthew, Wow, those Ruthworks bags look great! Regarding the mini roll tops, how are they for waterproofing? After the rain starting pouring down hard right before leaving for a s24o, I ran to Mountain Equipment Co-op (Canada's version of REI basically) and grabbed some dry-bag style

Not yet. I was thinking about getting some Swift Industries panniers with a matching rando box-bag. I noticed during the Oregon Outback that they were testing some new lower profile front panniers that look pretty interesting. I'll probably wait until those come out to decide. In the mean

Great looking build! How are those tires treating you for on and off road riding?? Really tempted to try them out soon. On Wednesday, June 11, 2014 7:55:47 AM UTC-7, Mark Reimer wrote: Not yet. I was thinking about getting some Swift Industries panniers with a matching rando box-bag. I

I love them. They are particularly fantastic in the winter, if you happen to live/ride where it snows. They roll nicely on pavement as there is nearly a solid treat pattern down the centre, and they're great when run at a lower pressure as well. I'm planning on getting a second pair for a

Yep. Beautiful bike, and I've enjoyed all your posts on building it, from frame to crank to this. For what it's worth, I just got a pair of Swift mini roll tops and they are fantastic. Well made, thoughtful, and the funky colors are just super. If not Swift, then Ruthworks. And if not

Thanks everyone! I've got a ton o' clearance. More than enough room to fit a fender. Just eyeballing it, I'd say 1cm on both sides of the tire, and much more above the tire. On Tuesday, June 10, 2014 11:38:00 AM UTC-5, dougP wrote: Looks beautiful! The S24O should be a walk in the park.
