Great pics – thanks especially for all the shots of the inspiring bikes in

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a Nitto Bullmoose Bar that Riv sells. Looks like they're
out of stock. Anyone have one laying dormant?

Since you guys are talking about 650b tires - We have made a 650b version of
our Rock n’ Road tires.
They will be in our shop around Christmas time. Check out our Blog for the
progress on the tires.
Did I mention that they will be tubeless compatible, and available in Blackwall
or Skinwall.
Thanks; just what I needed to know. It's far too big for my gofast, which
simply needs a bag big enough for a small repair kit and a 28 oz bottle.
But it would suit my Fargo better than the 7.5 l (expanded) Mountain Wedge
III, which is deep enough when expanded that it drags on the tire.

How does someone have this product and not use it?? I think it's fabulous:
All your tools in slick little pockets, folds out nicely for working, then
straps to saddle rails or tossed in a saddlebag. The only problem I have is
