Re: Stans in very wet conditions.

Re: Aiguille bikepacking kit
It would not work as they would just shorten and I assume [ depending on hoe they are secured ] allow the seat bag to move around as the "stability" lines went looseHow would it work on full suss frames or if you use a dropper post (or both)?

Re: drilling drop bars handlebars for di2 ....anyone done it
the only place that would concern me drilling wise is near the clamp and even then one hole would not bother me- its just a wee hole and whilst i am sure an accurate machine could measure how weakened the bars are there the reality id for cycling use it will have no measurable impact
YMMV
