Currently building a Bikepacking bike.
Wondering whether to go for mechanical disc brakes (Avid BB7), or hydraulic.
Any advice & recommended would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Does this package include cables?

A medium.

Thanks for the replies.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any for sale anywhere in the UK!
I'm continuing my search.....

Seriously thinking about buying myself a new Kona Unit X.

Has anyone here had any experience of them?
Any thoughts or advice?

Hello! Is this still for sale?
Interested in the whole bike, if you can post to NE England.
Cheers

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
I didn't know there were so many possible solutions out there!
I'll check them all out.
Cheers! ☺

I'd like to move my bottle cages a little, to fit larger bottles into my frame.
Are there any adaptors available that you'd recommend?
Thanks

I'm just wondering how many of you use a fat bike for bike packing?
I'd love to hear what you and your fatty have been up to and what gear you have.
Photos would be great too.
Thanks in advance

Hi. 27.5+ feels draggy on roads and hard surfaces, very difficult to get the pressure right for mixed terrain. I have a vagabond 29er and it feels like it rolls better/faster, might just be me, might be the bike. I have Jones bars on my longitude and it is again a marmite set-up, lots of hand posit...

Had one , just got the gearing right and a set of Jones bars and it got nicked , it was one of the most comfortable bikes I’ve had , it’s not quick but soaks everything up with ease , yep it’s heavy but the only time I’ve felt it was after 3 days of lifting over multiple gates , seriously consideri...

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds good so far! There’s only a couple of things putting me off... Sizing; The bike is a medium, but the Genesis website says I should get a large (I’m 5,10”). I’ve tried the bike and it seems fine (maybe needs a slightly longer stem). Wheel size; I worry a little abou...

I think it is perfect for the sort of stuff we do, still not convinced about 27.5+ though.

It's not the fastest, but it is very forgiving.

I suppose the question is what do you intend to use it for?

What’s making you doubtful about the 27.5+?

I’m afraid it’s a private sale, not a bike shop. The LBS are only open for repairs!!

I have the chance to get a brand new (2019), Genesis Longitude, for a silly price!
I’ve heard good things about them but I’d appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance

Max Effort My Vagabond suits my local riding conditions and my style of riding. I live a 15 mile ride of tame trails and minor roads to the Surrey Hills. My Arkrose is too uncomfortable, when loaded, to tackle the off road sections, my Longitude too slow and boring getting there. I have done severa...

That is identical to the one I’m interested in.
Can I ask what you like and dislike about it?
Thanks for the help
