    Fork mount for fatbike on Thule roof rack

    Hey Jay, I may have an adapter for you. Let me dig into my closet. They're not cheap, but I had a Muk 2 and bought an adapter I never got around to using. Stand by. :)

    Shorts/chamois for long rides

    Every manufacturer's chamois shape is different. I do like Pearlizumi, but have owned probably 40 pairs of Pactimo shorts over the last ten years. Team issue stuff, so I wasn't given a choice. It has been a great chamois, but I think my personal overall preference is Sugoi. You'll find that not...

    KLR650 or Versys 650? I am so torn

    The Strom would be no better than the Versys off road. Not by much anyway. As a former Alaskan, I think the KLR is perfect for that environment.

    Help assessing the value of a Cannondale road bike?

    Condition is king. So, even though it's dated, I wouldn't give it away. Road bikes are spendy, so people wanting to get in at an entry level will pay good prices for good used bikes. I'd start at $650 and go from there. Selling bikes is the bane of my existence. Over the years I've learned...

    KLR650 or Versys 650? I am so torn

    You know, Ecuador is being paved so rapidly, we were actually deprived of some rough road as new roads were being built....literally in front of us. We got stopped on one high mountain road for about an hour while they cut a new section, one probably paved by now. It gave us time to sample some...

    FS: Canon EOS 5D MkII, 24-105L with extras, excellent condition

    Only 31,000 shots. Canon told me a MkII shutter is typically good for 150,000 to 200,000.

    I have for sale a Canon EOS 5D MkII body with a Canon 24-105L Image Stabilized lens. This is a full frame sensor camera that has been my professional go-to and is in excellent condition. Great information about this camera here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos5dmarkii Lens...

    The best adventure travel boots.

    The Zamberlans are stiff. And a touch heavy. But, I wanted them to last a lifetime, and they will, no doubt. I've really come to love my Wolverine 1000 mile boots for driving footwear. I love the waxed canvas upper. Feels really nice when it's warm out.

    The best adventure travel boots.

    The most popular outdoor boot ever made. I forget what the numbers are on those things but Merrell has sold millions of them. In talking to one of the Merrell designers years ago, I said, "Those things are ********. They fall apart after one year...." He said, "I know, but people will buy a new...

    Older tent has a coating that's peeling off

    This is actually a good lesson in tent fabrics as they relate to the quality of a tent. Lesser quality tents will use not just a lower quality nylon, they will use fewer/thicker layers of Polyurethane to make it waterproof. Like painting a car, or anything for that matter, the more layers that...

    Jet Boil meals

    There are a number of great dehydrated meals out there. Good to Go is currently the best, although very new and still building their selection of meals. The founder is one of the top chefs in the country and a celebrity in her own right where food is concerned.

    KLR650 or Versys 650? I am so torn

    On the route to 14,200 feet near the Colombian border. There's something simply honest and reassuring about a KLR. It kind of reminds me of a Jeep CJ-7. Simple. Not without some quirks, but reliable in its own way.

    KLR650 or Versys 650? I am so torn

    I recently did a 1000 miles over mixed terrain in the Andes of Ecuador on a KLR. It did great. I'd blasted down the Pan Amerian Hwy at 75 no problem. It did great over countless miles of Andean cobbled roads and we encountered several really gnarly sections of mountain road. It even climbed over...

    Just when is it "enough"? (2014 New Year's Resolution)

    I've noticed and interesting trajectory in the arch of bike experience and the number of bikes that enters one's quiver. It seems to me that when a new rider finally crosses that invisible line from casual rider to genuine enthusiast, the number of bikes needed to quell their lust for more...

    FS: Form Cycles Prevail 29er, Custom Titanium, size large

    For Sale: 2012 Form Prevail 29er (Large) Showroom Condition This bike was built in late 2012, and for a variety of reasons, never really got ridden much…at all.
