@@morganwalter We had a guy on a group trip tear his derailleur off just past the summit of Lost Creek too but he also twisted his chain so not possible to singlespeed his bike. He had to "skateboard" all the way to Oldman campground. You're welcome! Fun to see all the videos of people challenging themselves on this route.

Hey, that's a very cool bag ! I've got an Ortlieb Quick Rack on the way and I was thinking of doing something similar after seeing your video. Only question is : what type of material and what dernier & grams/m^2 did you used ?

“I learned a lot by doing this” that’s what it’s all about… I like bikepacking and have been teaching my self to sew, both with a machine and by hand. Awesome skill to learn and I’m enjoying the process.

Dont want to pay for Tailfin but wears Arcteryx jacket :)
Cool, but the point of the Tailfin rack is that it sits on the thru axle.
@morganwalter2 ай бұрын
Not true. It can be mounted to rack mounts on the frame as well. The ortlieb rack can be mounted to a thru axle as well

Love this, experimentation and making your own stuff is super fun. "Gen 1" of your tire lever attachment is super clever. Is there enough pressure to keep them from rotating over rougher terrain you think?

Plenty of pressure. And the notches really lock it in too

nice build, neat sawing. i've ripped off also a tailfin bag but made it a bit larger (my rack is also larger) and instead of sawing it I used cutouts of vinyl canvas (that I got for free at a truck cover store), and I glued them with cyanoacrylate. I made a semi-rigid bottom with coroplast, and to close it and attach it to the rack I used straps and buckles from an old bag. I only had to patch it a couple of times (with a small cut of vinyl and superglue) in a spot where it had been worn from rubbing with a part of the rack. It's already 5 years old and is still absolutely waterproof, you can even carry water on it. In summer, lined on the inside with roof insulation, makes an excellent beer cooler.

What made you choose a "tailfin" bag instead of a seat tube bag? I have to choose one for my next adventure and I can't decide
@morganwalter3 ай бұрын
Having a rack and a bag is far more versatile. And sturdy. Seat tubes do flop around a bit and they need to be packed full to really work. Personally I really like the ortlieb because it removes quickly. I use this bike for many things. Bike packing getting groceries, etc. if I need to I can even strap a milk crate or a package down to the back with some straps. You can’t do that with a seat tube.
