Routes / Arkansas High Country Tour

« on: August 15, 2018, 07:10:57 pm »

I see that the ACA has a couple of off-road tours in NW Arkansas in the fall of 2019.  Does that mean that the ACA will be issuing an Arkansas Highlands Mountain Bike map by then?

Has anybody ever used Delta Cargo shipping to ship a bike?  If so, how did the cost compare to shipping by Fedex?

Gear Talk / Fiberfix Spoke

« on: May 10, 2012, 02:22:40 pm »

Anybody ever use a fiberfix replacement spoke?  I'll be on a portion the GD this summer and I'm a little bit concerned about a rear wheel busted spoke on the drive side.  I think this should work as a temp measure for 50-100 miles, and maybe longer, without taking off the cassette, but I'm curious if anyone has real life experience with using one.

Gear Talk / Camp chair

« on: February 14, 2012, 02:17:42 pm »

I'm considering a toting a lightweight chair that has some back support and gets me off the ground on a tour next summer.  The two that seem to be the most promising are the Alite monarch  and the slinglight. Both are very light, but a bit pricey.  The monarch folds down pretty small, but the 2 leg design seems a bit unusual.  Anybody ever use either one of these or something comparable?  If you have used either one, how is the durability?

General Discussion / Farfarer trailer

« on: January 31, 2012, 04:08:31 pm »

I signed up with ACA for the Great Divide trip in July.  I have a 12 mm thru axle, which rules out a bob and similar axle mounted trailers, so I'm looking for a seatpost mounted trailer.  Anybody use/have any experience with a farfarer trailer?
