    Sounds like you went down fast. Who knew that gravity was so strong?

    Once I slid out and went down on some leaves so fast that it felt like rubber bands had pulled me down.

    F=ma.  I once went down fast and hard with the feet still safe and secure in the toe clips.

    This Orange Seal story has the feeling of an online review where the package arrived damaged, so the reviewer gives the product 1 star and flames the product/company, but the real fault is with the delivery company. 

    It doesn't seem like he would maliciously lie about one of the two wheels having a tube. He probably just forgot he hadn't set them both up tubeless. It doesn't seem like any of your disdain for Orange Seal comes from actual use of the product. Only a bad experience with someone affiliated with the product (not even selling that product to you) who could have made an honest mistake.

    Shhh, you're ruining the narrative.

    Off Picaridin spray is one we bought in a pinch, but her favorite is Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent Lotion which has no smells and doesn't feel greasy.

    The Sawyer lotion is what I use also. It seems to last longer then the various deet products I have, but for short outings I usually opt for a deet spray just for speed and convenience. I haven't tried a picaridin spray yet.

    Sounds like someone trying to make a Covid profit. I have a very recent Monocog, it now comes in a matte army green. Pretty sure I paid less than that new.

    I paid less than that new as well. Hopefully it ends up with someone that will actually ride it.

    I have my eyes on this one.     https://www.evocsports.com/HIP-PACK-PRO-3-HIP-PACK-HYDRATION-BLADDER/102504120

    I have not pulled the trigger only because I have never seen one in person. You can carry water bottles along with the bladder.

    Or sans bladder and just bottles. So that is nice but on paper they claim that the comfort has been improved as the weight is better dispersed. 

    I currently use the Dakine 5L and really like it except when I fill the bladder up about 1/2 , then it is uncomfy on my fat belly as the buckle digs in.

    I acquired one recently and will report back once I get some time with it. The other choice was the Seral but the ability to carry two bottles plus bladder was appealing in theory at least.

    Is it a medium or a 17? Redline says medium is a 19, 17 is a small.

    Seat tube measures 17". Size designation isn't marked anywhere that I've found and I don't recall purchasing a small. But perhaps it is if Redline says it is. Size isn't noted on the receipt either.

    My crave ss is a large with a 19" seat tube. Both top tubes are roughly the same at around 23" and reach is similar between them. My current and former bikes are all medium or large. I'll correct the post if it is indeed a small. I'll investigate further.
