(not to you specifically, but your comment reminded me of an item on my to-do list...) Anybody have a suggested list of tools to be able to change tubes on the road? I'd like to put together a tool kit for common repairs (quick link for chain, etc). Also, can anybody link to what size spare...

I thought of an extender for the trailer... but my wiring and safety cables are at the stretched to pretty much the max like this, so I am going to live with it and hope there are no 89 degree curves. ha.

Plenty of room. I hacked into my rear view camera to be able to turn it on whenever I want via a switch and when making a couple of sharpish turns I had plenty of room. I guess if the trailer was 90 degrees the bike rack might hit the trailer (like the winch), but if that happens, then I...

Maybe I'm missing something on where to position the rear tire rest so it's below the fender, which seems like it would be less than halfway down the tire and not very secure... any pictures you can share?

I can't see how you can do that on the rear fender with the fender going well past half way on the tire. Regardless, the pool noodles worked really well because I use this rack for multiple bikes and not moving anything is easy.

I finally got a chance to use the ebike as a "poor" man's shuttle. A dual hitch receiver from Harbor Freight and some short pieces of a cut up pool noodle on the 1up rack (to save scratching up the rear fender) made it work.

Can't we use the ghetto/split-tube method to go tubeless?

It's been ok. The Androscoggin River in northern NH has a caddis hatch in mid to late June (alder flies) where the trout go nuts. There are only a couple of spots to fish while wading, so a raft or drift boat is the way to go. For many years, I've tried to time being there when it happened, but...

No, probably not. the boat is a bit cumbersome and heavy at over 100 lbs withotu gear. But the pontoon boat I used to own would be perfect (dave scaddon skykomish sunrise). It was pretty light.

I've been doing this for about 10 years or so with a pontoon boat or raft. When it's just me floating, I would put my bike (Giant Defy) in the raft (3 person raft), but when I had friends with me, I'd lock up the bike (or once, hide it in the woods). that bike was relatively inexpensive, so it...

I bought a 2021 Vado 4 last night (at least that is what the LBS tech said the model year was... claimed it was the first 2021 out the door for them). The color is forest green, but it's really hard to see it as green unless you really study it, otherwise it looks black. Took it for a good...

Thanks, I just purchased the bike packer classics from backcountry (got some cashback too) and the insert from REI. the image of yours on the vado helped a lot about size.

I'm at a loss about which panniers to get for commuting to work (new vado 4). I pretty much have to bring my laptop, laptop charger, some notebooks, lunch box, maybe lightweight raingear and also the vado charger (as well as thinks like spare tubes and tools to fix a flat, but that stuff is...
