setting up the "nite ranger" for winter

Done:

-new revelate designs tangle bag

-threw dyno hub/homebrew led light back on

-rolling on the brooks for a bit

-gps for recording trips

 

To do:

-fenders, thinking of new SKS's, the 'dark' ones, for a tighter fit around 32's

-i still want to strip the frame

-new rear wheel, thinking xt disc compatible hub and dyad rim, 32h

-revelate seat bag for trips/long rides/coffee brewing rides

-might skip the standard rack for a while....still thinking on that.

-might mount a rear dyno to the fender

-eventually i'll need a new drivetrain. not sure what I want to do - still want to tour on this bike, but also want something a little lighter/roadier...might be able to get away with sram road group if i stick to 'bikepacking style' trips

 

notes: first time out with the tangle bag. i like it, but i stuff it a bit with work stuff - need slimmer lunch tupps! i was hitting it a bit with my legs. hadn't ridden the brooks in a while, feeling great! really liking the 32 paselas today after a weekend of fatbikepacking madness!
