Don't work very well on bigger tires. I'd like to try the updated version they're selling on FB these days

Both of these features are crazy cool and merit frequent mention here. I would guess that few people know how well the Varia works, in this case, when riding in a group.

Which frame is that? Back tire clearance looks so close at BB.

I feel slow on my 13.8kg disc trucker compared to my 8kg carbon bike.

I don’t plan on doing much touring, maybe a couple weekend bike packing trips this summer. Thinking carbon fork could be a good idea. To speed up/ have more fun on most rides.

Scored two pairs of gloves and my first tubeless valves setup from Supacaz' sale last week!
Thanks to whoever put out a PSA on those. 21$ TOTAL before shipping is the deal of the month for me

I bought bolts to convert these two tektro dual pivots to nutted fasteners for some vintage bikes in the stable.
