Arb, what size Gus is yours? I really like that little half frame bag! Do you know what size it is also? -Brian On Tuesday, December 27, 2022 at 9:15:38 AM UTC-5 pbsm...@gmail.com wrote: > Arb, that's a great looking setup and way more akin to what my overnight > setups look like. Even with a

Arb, that's a great looking setup and way more akin to what my overnight setups look like. Even with a basic camp setup I never figure out how everyone else crams everything in just two bags. You should see my winter setup :-X Smitty in DC On Monday, December 26, 2022 at 1:33:34 AM UTC-5 Arb

Nice! What is going on with your headset? Combination of black & silver bits? Just curious.Sent from my iPhoneOn Dec 26, 2022, at 1:33 AM, Arb Sklansky wrote:<180E21B0-7CAF-432E-9C05-CD7CA263A11D.jpeg>This is my Gus in bikepacking mode On Friday, December 16, 2022 at 11:16:13 AM UTC-6 Paul

Thanks for the info, Brian and Scott! I'll check out those spots. I'm really only familiar with the panhandle, and have been lucky to spend several weeks in winter at a house on Indian Pass. FWIW - if your travels ever take you to the area, Leon Sinks ,

Brian, here are a few places one of my friends likes to go: https://floridahikes.com/florida-trail-croom-hiking-trail https://alafiatrails.com/ https://www.floridastateparks.org/learn/biking-cross-florida-greenway Some of that seems a bit more intense mnt. bike stuff, but some of those areas

Ryan, thank you! Regarding the Pec Deck, I didn't actually buy the "bag 'o parts" Ronnie was selling on his site for $75... I had enough spare rack struts and Nitto daruma bolts to make the exact same thing. The only thing I changed was upgrading to a solid 3/8" aluminum rod (from McMaster) for

Thanks for the kind words, Paul and Scott! The past two winters, my wife and I spent our Jan - Feb on a barrier island called Anna Maria Island. It's close to Bradenton / Sarasota, and basically within the Tampa Bay / St. Pete area, but you have to drive all the way around the bay to get to

[RBW] Re: Gus - bikepacking mode

Awesome setup and perfect kit, Brian. Thanks for sharing. Where are you planning to camp in Florida? I'm always interested in spots to check out down there. I'm really eager to get my Gus out on an overnight sometime soon, and there's a chance I'll make it to the state park on Saint Joe

[RBW] Re: Gus - bikepacking mode

That's a really nice setup! If you don't mind my asking, what region of FL are you planning for your overnighters? I used to live in Tampa and St. Pete back in the late '90s. One of my friends mentioned there's an amazing stretch from Tampa that cuts across the state, at one time it was going

Thanks Eric! Yes, I was happy to see Brendon's clever use of that half-frame bag. In that case, the shortened section of fender is crucial to keep it off the tire. Re: my camping setup, I've been bikepacking since about 2010, so I've had a good amount of time to acquire and test stuff out,

Also very curious to know a typical camping set up and pack list for the low weight you describe hauling :) On Friday, December 16, 2022 at 7:49:53 AM UTC-5 Eric Marth wrote: > Nice rig, Brian! > > I'm reminded of Brendon's seat-tube bag on his Susie, this was the best > picture I could

[RBW] Re: Gus - bikepacking mode

What a beautiful setup! I can’t wait to see pictures from the next trip! I’ll be watching to see what the bag behind the seat tube comes out like, I’ve definitely been interested in using that space. Is your light mount solid on the makeshift Pec Deck? I was thinking about doing that as well
