Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I bought one of these. Huge doesn't even begin to describe it. Disappointed in the lack of any type of smaller pockets for keys, pen, etc. but holy cow, the thing fits so much in it.

Bought another tube. pinch flated while riding at 120psi. I figured since i was 250lbs plus id be better off
but one hit at the crappy pot holes and bam, (2 blocks away from home)
80 psi is comfortable but at my weight im not too sure.
i try to stay at 100psi no more. half inch snakebites yep had to toss tube. rema kit had no chance
Luckily the good ol' amazon has me covered (lbs is shady, once gave me a 35-40 for a 28 tire, i didn't like that)
which sucks because lbs is about two blocks away.

Agreed. Mine still hasn't arrived but I checked it out at the Chrome NYC store. It's larger than my Timbuk2 Especial Cuatro which was big as well.
I only plan on using it for shopping/movie trips so I'm not too concerned about smaller pockets.

How do you feel without the waist belt for larger loads? I'm so used to having a waist belt on almost all bags I have.

Haven't used mine all that much to be honest. Was delivering with it but I have stopped. Bought it for grocery trips mostly and the weather hasn't been that great to go by bike so that hasn't happened yet. From what I have carried, which was almost all the way full, just not heavy, it was very comfortable. Like surprisingly comfortable. Had to adjust the shoulder straps so it wasn't so far up on my back but once I did that, it was great. Looking forward to getting some groceries in it or hauling something massive around in it.

Still extremely nice...but as Vince the SlapChop guy said "stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life"

You need friends with more 3DV in their lives ; )

Bought new lights. Most boring purchase ever, but now I can actually see the road at night, which is cool.

Axiom Lazer 500 and Pulse 30 head/tail set. Headlight is kinda bulky but couldn't beat the price.

I've been sitting on a bike's worth of purple Mini Motos since the last batch came out in the fall. The bike I have them set aside for won't be done until July, and it is killing me.
