Hoch you thinking of getting one or did you find a 58 and wondering if it'll fit? It took me a few years to find mine so if you find one in your size, be ready to act :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

Hi, some great looking Hunq’s. Can someone with a 58 please measure the seat tube length? Center to Top of the seat tube? Thank you! On Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 4:05:16 PM UTC-7 John Rinker wrote: > > Johnny, > > No, no real structural reason for the change, just an aesthetic decision. >

[RBW] Re: Fitting the Hunqapillar for touring

Johnny, No, no real structural reason for the change, just an aesthetic decision. Or, maybe because I moved the light to the dropout. That rack is a Nitto R14 that I bought at BlueLug in Tokyo, and it's very well-built. It's

I was hoping for some advice, but I got that and a bunch of awesome photos. Just wow ya'll. And so many hunqapillars crawling around :) I'm hearing a lighter rear rack and a larger trunk should do me nicely until i get more serious. I'll see what I can find in terms of a sackville or similar.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fitting the Hunqapillar for touring

I’m not quite sure why the Zeitgeist bags are as ubiquitous as they are… because they’re actually rather small in my opinion. Fine as a daily saddlebag, but for bikepacking or multi-day touring, it’s just not a lot of volume.If it were me, I’d start by upgrading the sleeping bag to something that

[RBW] Re: Fitting the Hunqapillar for touring

What a great opportunity to spend time with your father-in-law! The question that came to mind on seeing the photos of the current setup was where the sleeping bag would fit in with the new setup. I wouldn't want it taking up space inside either the trunk/saddle bag or front paniers. John's

Sadly, I have never done any bicycle touring with racks and bags. However, my suggestions would be go with Tubus racks: https://www.tubus.com/en/products/ or with Old Man Mountain: https://oldmanmountain.com/ paired with Arkel panniers: https://arkel.ca/ A long time ago, I was planning a bike
