GFisher Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Tried to buy a Kuat Dirt Bag. The only one I found that appeared to be in stock is backordered until November. May cancel my order. Found a couple different ones for 50, 60 even 105! and one cheaper one. Figured I would cast a line and see if one was out there.

CBaron Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 You should try making one. It was I did on my current setup that I'm using for my travels through CO. Note- make sure that you mount it to a base that is not wider than the fork drop outs (110 or less) and also elevated a bit (so that your caliper won't drag on the floor). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFisher Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nice setup Cody. Solo travel is so simple. And good idea on the mounts, I made some old 9qr ones back in the day for pennies and they worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXZJ Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 X2 Built a platform for my Tacoma and can stuff two 50" wheelbase , 800mm handlebar rigs in it. Also still use the 15x100 fork mount with my boost forks. Just don't crank the skewer down. Not having to drag filthy bikes into a hotel after a long day is worth every penny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFisher Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) With COVID and the urge to avoid stores, I didn't even think to look locally. Good old BSS had them in stock at both of the stores near me. Bought it online and curbsided it today. It was about a dollar cheaper all said and done too. I would have made one but at the moment I have more money than time (knock on wood) and the Kuat ones are pretty nice.

I have never done anything like that before I talked a lot of smack around my house about being "a mountain man willing to go on adventures of solitude". But outside of a dozen camping trips (to CO) with my friends, I'd never done it before either. My wife is an introvert who's been completely smothered during this cover stuff, my kids are back in-person at school, and I have a few month window before I gotta get serious about a job. Given those set of circumstances I had that opportunity to see if I really meant all the crap I'd been saying for years. I'll be sure to answer that question after I get back from Bentonville next week.... 😉 Later, CJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
