1  Forums / Routes / Has anyone done the Eagle Backcountry Tour in Eagle, CO? on: August 23, 2017, 12:07:51 PM
I have a trip planned in the Sawtooths region this weekend and I'm concerned about the air quality. I'm still deciding and looking for an alternative.

Has anyone done the Eagle Backcountry Tour in Eagle, CO? I found it on mtbproject and it looks like a good ride for a 3 day weekend.

I've posted a little bit on here (in preparation for bikepacking the Colorado Trail, Tour Divide and Arizona Trail Race). I've since moved to Northern Arizona and am hoping to do some bikepacking trips around here. Hit me up if you're local and want to bikepack on trails!

There is a group of us in Utah that do bikepacking trips in Southern Utah in the spring and fall. You should consider joining the group on meetup.

Here's the link:

I just counted 30 in the front, 36 in the back. That isn't exactly what I'd recommend if you are going to ride anything technical and hilly. I spent at least 75% of my last trip in the lowest gear.

Did you have to get longer bolts for the 30t chainring?

Great price.... sure its not stolen?
That's a brand new $95 Moloko bar that didn't come on a 2014.


Pretty damn sure it's not stolen. The owner knows his bike stuff, and also rides a Surly LHT. He replaced the original Whammy bar with the Moloko but I'm going to get the Whammy from him, to reduce weight and cost.

The rear mech has been swapped out for x0 derailleur and x9 shifter, from the original SLX. Supposedly for upgrading?
5  Forums / Question and Answer / 2014 Surly Krampus for $900, decent deal? on: August 08, 2017, 10:04:15 AM
Found a 2014 Surly Krampus on local CL for $900. Saddle will be included but no pedals (I ride flats anyway). I'm currently bikepacking with my 29er hardtail but would like a more dedicated bike, preferably with plus tires, for bikepacking.

Does this sound like a decent deal? I'd like to be able to sell it without losing money, if I find myself wanting to go back to bikepacking with a hardtail.
