I believe you could mount it on the saddle bag if there is a loop on the bag.

I found the last one I bought for $30 off online through Performance Bike. REI is currently at $119 for the unit without tail light. That's the one we both have due to having saddle mounted tail lights on our bikes.

One of the cyclists I ride with has it mounted on her left seatstay.

They may well have had bearing problems. I do know they were not widely adopted, unlike indexed shifting. And I don't know if I really want to go all clips and straps. So I bought some adapters to put a regular clipless pedal into that huge hole in the end of the crank.

Maybe my risk-o-meter needs recalibrating, but even though I get hurt reasonably often on my MTB I'm much more worried about crashing on a road bike. Most of the MTB injuries are little bumps and bruises.
It's one thing to punch a tree with my hand on the bars or wash out on a loose turn - totally different to fall on pavement. Speeds on my MTB are so much slower and dirt doesn't usually give you road rash (or ruin your kit!).
Also while that image looks like I might be about to launch into the mesosphere, it's a screenshot from a very unimpressive video I bet I never got more than 18" off the ground.

I was never a big jumper on the motorcycle but I got pretty good at jumping off surprise obstacles. I need to practice that on the mtb, hucking off rocks and stuff. Or not.

Thanks! Funny thing is, over most of the frame, chipped paint reveals what looks like chrome. The paint doesn't look like Cromovelato, but it does complicate touching it up.

Nice of them to make the pedal threads bigger than normal threading so that adapters can be made

I avoid jumping for the most part but once in a while I get a little air. I like that little bit of silence when the tires leave the ground. I'm wearing the stupid Camelbak which tends to rise up when I jump, I guess I could start wearing the lower strap. Better to just stay on the ground.

I finally ditched the camelback this year and I really love the feeling. My rides are usually only an hour-ish though.

Same here. I like to feel a little bit rad, but anything actually big or consequential I'll chicken out on. A couple of years ago my buddy took me to a park that had dedicated jump lines and that was a bunch of fun but they weren't really all that big.

I've had the thing for 3 years now and sometimes I think a lighter, short travel or even hardtail would be better, especially on grueling climbs. Then I do something like I did last Wednesday with lots of rocks and ruts and I appreciate the burl. Maybe some Nigerian prince will need a place to put his money and I can try other bikes.

PS, I like the Varia so much I have the old and new version and solid mounts on every bike.

I'd like to leave the Camelbak at home on short rides, I used to do that on my old bike but this bike doesn't have a lot of frame mount eyelets. It has bottle mount bosses under the shock but I haven't tried to put a cage there. It would probably have to be a side exit cage and only a small bottle. Then all the other stuff I would put in a seatbag but that might interfere with the dropper. I just have to try it and see.

A rock ate my RD late last season so I've been running singlespeed at 30x18 on 29x2.2 (622x55) tires and that's pretty ideal for around here. I'd actually like to go rigid with the SS setup but just haven't seriously looked for an appropriate fork yet. That would probably take it down to mid-high 20lbs especially if I got a carbon fork. I don't think rigid SS would fly where I'm moving though. Maybe some trails but I've been told there's some serious chunk out in Pisgah NF. Oh, and actual mountains with extended climbs
Didn't WhyFi say something about buying everyone here new bikes?

Someone looking for a power meter? I don't know how good these are, but seems like a good deal:

No question.
I believe my comment was in response to a mention of T-111, which is a plywood/composite "engineered wood" siding product. It requires some maintenance compared to other siding products.

Beautiful little ride today. Legs have finally come back from the last weight session, which was 8 days ago. I'm going to lay off that stuff for the rest of the season.

Lost my cool with a driver for the first time in just about forever this morning. Guy towing a boat started blowing his horn behind me to get around on a no shoulder road. Then he decided to pass with a vehicle coming the other direction, I’d stayed left so he wouldn’t try to pass with the other car coming. He ran them off the road and swerved back and nearly clipped me with his trailer.
I caught up to him a gas station and asked “Are you trying to kill someone or just ******g stupid?”
he got in my face (thankfully I had a face cover on because it was freezing) and told me bikes don’t belong on road. I thought he was actually going to take a swing at me.

Kudos. I would have loved to ride today but Mondays are always a busy day with work. It looks like a perfect day for a ride.

The only bike with a seatpost that can fit a saddle bag, the Varia, and a light is the Canyon. I think all the others are going to have to get lights on the seatstay(s)
