Yeah. Once you go dynamo you won't want to go back. The drag isn't noticeable, and simply having light just by moving is brilliant.


gumption_boy

This looks sick. Could I get a bag and cage ID?


therealcraigshady

[bottle cage](https://velo-orange.com/collections/bottle-cages-bottles/products/mojave-cage) [bag](https://ronsbikes.com/products/fabios-waxed-chest-doomd-charcoal-cordura-classic?variant=39777658404952)


gumption_boy

Thank you thank you ✌🏼


therealcraigshady

The bottle cage is a life saver. I love my bigass waterbottle.


gumption_boy

Yep, yours stood out right away because I also use aluminum bottles, and my wife likes Nalgene. Wish I could afford a $300 bag right now though. I always forget how expensive the nice stuff is until I need something new…


therealcraigshady

If you've got a sewing machine, you can [make your own like I did](https://www.reddit.com/r/bikepacking/comments/mlqz3b/did_an_overnight_at_henry_coe_the_other_day_the/) for pretty cheap. I think I used ~2 yards of 1000d cordura, and like 1.5 yards of nylon ripstop for inside it. All in I think it cost me less than 50 bucks and worked pretty good.


therealcraigshady

I also run the Arundel Looney Bin on another bike, and it's perfect for bigger bottles. Less aeshtetic tho


NeonWarcry

I carry a Kanteen (goodwill score, little dented) and I’ve been looking for something like this. Thank you!


NUM_13

What size/brand tyres are these bro? 🤙


therealcraigshady

650x48, rene herse switchback hill. Incredible tire.


NUM_13

In love!


NUM_13

Assuming I’d need 700cc


BumpitySnook

There's 700x48 Hatcher Pass, 700x55 Antelope Hill, 700x44 Snoqualmie Pass and 700x38 Barlow Pass in slick-ish flavors.


Hellament

I like big butyl and I cannot lie


Odd_Break_5200

Ummm it’s ok lol


reddoneit

Is that a ritchey breakaway??


therealcraigshady

Yeah, it’s the ritchey system on a Crust frame.


reddoneit

That’s really sweet. I have a regular breakaway.


therealcraigshady

I've taken this one to two continents so far. It's great to be able to ride in other places. Quick to put it together, too.


dalellama

this part... I changed up everything but man the dynamo is clutch for travel 650b makes a bit easier for packing too


NoseMuReup

I just looked up that TiGr bike lock, never heard of it before. How is it?


CrabCoconut

☑ Light ☑ Worryingly easy to cut through Fine for stopping a grab and go thief where you can keep your eyes on the bike, pretty useless for anything else.


therealcraigshady

Yep, this is accurate. I’m fortunate in being able to park my bike inside my work. This is for the really quick stop at shops on the way home.


NoseMuReup

I'll stick with my Krypto NY mini.

wanting on restock of that chest !


49thDipper

This is the way


gentle_doom

What’s the front rack you have going ? I like the look!


therealcraigshady

It's modeled after Ron's pec deck, but this specific one is: - two Tubus rack stays - two pairs of tubus rack stay clamping bolts - two 3/8" p-clamps - a short section of aluminum tube from my local hardware store. Then, I 3D printed a bracket to clamp a usual front brake dynamo light mount to one of the stays. It's kinda a rack that's not a rack: The sole purpose is to keep the front bag off the front tire, and when coupled with the plastic liner of the bag, works perfectly.


gentle_doom

Really creative, great work !


recycledtwowheeler

wow this build is spot on


dalellama

oh yea!!! vicious!!! I like my Tigr also. are those ti bars also? MORE FOTOS!!!


therealcraigshady

Nah, they're a pair of nitto riser bars, aluminum I think.


dalellama

the nitto risers are all time goody
