Green housing on the Quickbeam. I've only ever had silver ferrules, but I
suppose brass would be nice.
Black is classic. Gray would look good on a silver frame. I've used red and
orange where (in)appropriate.

Deacon,
Wipe the chain enough to lay a ruler up to it, line the zero mark up on a
pin center and see where the 12 mark hits relative the nearest pin. Sage
advice is replace the chain if 1/16 stretch is detected. A field-expedient
that is less precise is to pull the middle of the chain wrapped
Like you, Joe, I don't cross chain. I will use my four lowest gears in my
granny gear, but generally only the bottom 2-3.

For me if the Hunqapillar came in a 56 I would have bought it over my
bombadil, not to take anything away from an awesome bike but the hunq had
better clearances and was a steal when it was first released. Not that it's
overpriced now, but at 1500 I had one on order at Harris before realizing

One advantage is that they clear rear tires better than transverse bags.
Even the Junior drags on the rear tire of my size M Fargo -- mostly solved
by a cardboard stiffener -- while a wedge of similar size would clear the
tire better. And, as others have said, no rack and certainly no loops
I had this happen with distressing frequency on the Fargo when the chain
was dirty. I installed a device to prevent chainsuck; forget the name.

Good call. In my case, my chain's been dirty for 17.7963 months before this
started happening.
The plan is to get a new chain and see where I go from there.

Lacking any hard data, we can only play with the numbers. 3 mm is
25% of 12 mm, which is probably the average difference in bottom
bracket height between cyclocross and road bike bottom bracket
heights. People have argued that road bikes noticably turn better than
cyclocross bikes due to this

I think one of the biggest advantages to the Revelate bags for offroad
touring, is that when you shift your weight way back, such as going down a
steep singletrack, your legs clear. With a transverse bag, you can only
throw your weight back until your legs hit. They also don't get hung up on

Noticed that Riv builds have gray housing with brass ferrules. Was
wondering why they use that combo.
Seems like it
Just took possession of a new Surly Trucker Deluxe which I had Harris
Cyclery build up with a mix of Riv-ish and otherwise practical parts
(moustache bars, silver shifters, the new IRD 8 speed cassette mated to an
XT 44-32-22 crank), and while I don't have yet the tools, couplers, travel

Mountain bikes are fun. Take a look at some of SOMA's offerings. They're
one of the least expensive brands that use frame size specific tubing in
their builds. I really like my Juice (set up as a singlespeed) and almost
bought a B-line.
The Revelate bags are designed to be minimalist and fit
Silver is my choice :)

Perry you can have any color cable housing as long as it's black and any color

One possible minor benefit: Lesser likelihood of thigh contact?
Never used a Revelate, but unless my Lowsaddle Longflap is packed pert near
