So frustrated by loss of Jones truss fork packs previously made by Revelate. Any suggestions out there? I recall some notes about a 3d printed hanger on the site but I'm looking for something a little simpler.

Could someone point me to a bicycle air travel bag (alternative to bike box or hard case) that I could strap to my rear rack after I assemble a bike at the airport. I don’t intend to tour with it. I am willing to trade the impracticality of a wheeless- and less padded bike bag for the ability to roll it up and get around town with it. I’m on a medium hardtail (29x2.6) that I swap between a 140mm fork and a full rigid. 420mm chain stays and 750mm bars. Thanks.

Does anyone have direct comparative experience with both the Coros Dura and Edge 1040 solar? I'm in need of a computer upgrade but I don't know if I trust the Dura given the early issues. I currently have an Edge 830 which is giving me tons of issues.

Hi, I'm planning to cycle the European Divide next year. I already bought a set of bags and some fork cages. I'm planning to buy the Ortlieb QR rack for the bike. Do you guys have any other suggestions I can install on my bike for this big trip? I think I'm gonna remove the fuel pack because of its instability. Let me know!

Hello folks. I’m thinking of doing the Cloud Peak 500 route in the Bighorns of Wyoming in August and am wondering if any of you have recent experience riding all/parts of this route. I’m looking for any recent intel available, good, bad or otherwise, since most of what I’ve found is several years old. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I’m on the hunt for a rack with bottle mounts on the struts — not to avoid panniers, but because my wife’s frame is so small you can barely get anything on it. The OMM Elkhorn or Tumbleweed T Rack would both be perfect, but I live in a market where neither are available. The Mica Rat Tail also isn’t an option. Is anybody aware of any other racks outside of those three that have cage mounts?

Are there any droppers that have a built-in damping function (would be good for a hardtail)? Ideal if it could be toggled on/off. Thanks!

Is it better to be running a tubeless setup or tubes? Thinking is tubes in case of a flat where a shop is not close by. Easier to change out tubes or patch a hole in a tire.

Anyone know who makes a ‘second’ seatpost clamp to prevent your seatpost from slipping? I’ve seen them in pictures and videos but cannot seem to find one. My Ti seatpost loves to slip over time from constant abuse. Even when torqued properly with light lube to prevent seizing.

Does anyone have experience in the Bucegi Mountains outside of Brasov, Romania? My brother and I are thinking of a week long trip there this July. Unsure about fully self-supported or staying in huts, etc. Unsure of the bear situation, if it's similar to USA (we are from Montana, so do have some experience in bear areas) or if they are more aggressive/hungry. FS MTB setups, and not afraid of Hike a Bike if it's worth it. Maybe if it's not even :). Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for my next hardtail frame to be added to my gravel bike for Bikepacking outings on more complicated terrain and also for a Trail use, my choice was reduced to these 3 frames: -Sklar tall tale with 150 mm fork -Nordest Sardinha 3 with 120 mm fork -Cotic bfe with 140 mm fork I know they are frames with quite different characteristics but on paper and reading the reviews all three should behave very well; do you have any advice to give me? Thank you all Davide

I'm looking for a pair of pants similar to the Ornot Mission Pants, but for women. My husband has the Mission Pants, and they just look so good on and off the bike - I want something that I can wear on a rest day, or going out for dinner, that will look smart. Everything I look at is very MTB-y, or has the brand name down the side - I just want smart and stretchy!
