I am perfectly happy with the built-in squish of the 4″ tires on my Mukluk. But, then again, I am perfectly happy with the built-in squish of any tires, on bicycles, and no longer ride with the extra weight of suspension components. That’s one of the advantages of being a slow mountain biker: You can ride a simpler, lighter bike.

Comment on A few notes about my S24O kit by Tim

Re-reading divining info for the next S24O after our outing this past Saturday. The sleeping pad perspective couldn’t be more dead-on in every way. I used a cheapie foam pad on the bottom and then a Thermarest Z-lite. Not enough. I’ll take the extra weight for something I can manage. Interminable rolls from 3.00am on are no good.

Maybe Grant has an issue, but Kent would be proud of you. I’d walk a mile for a Neato Burrito!

Thanks, Asher. I think you owe it to yourself to equip at least one bike with a dynamo system. You’ll like it. I promise.

Nice setup. I’m with you on the basket/net approach — just sling your haul in the basket, toss the net on, and go. Finally got a rear basket to use on my ‘cross bike in cargo-mode, and I’m looking forward to carrying stuff around in it. I keep thinking about a dynamo hub, but if I decide to get one it will have to wait ’til fall semester.
