"YEAH—I want the red one, that's so FAST that I MISS everything..." -Um, 👁 think I'll go with that time-and-space machine from @surlybikes . @carsrcoffins #surlypackrat @fowissahickon (at Wissahickon Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYcDE5D4HW/?igshid=1r0976hzxnfpv

MID-TEK TIPS for troubled times: Index shifting? Right, lovely, but you can INDEX your tire/tube as well. Find some contrasting @sharpie or paint markers or even nail polish; mark a little subtle dot or a big clumsy arrow (like me) on the RH side of the tire and mark the RH side of the valve. THAT WAY, if you have it apart, you (or yer local shop, if they rushed + got distracted!) can still INDEX them, find the hole and then line up the tube with the tire properly and know where to start hunting for that thumbtack (easy), shard of glass (harder) or (PhD level), that nano-bit of stainless wire (often shed by worn-out radial car tires BOO) based on where the tube's hissing. Always Check the tire for other stuff, even if you've found the Prime Suspect. OH, and while you've got Sharpie in hand—name up those tire sidewalls to discourage thieves and make it easier to spot yr machine if the worst happens. ✔️Tomorrow: a new Patch Economy? @rematiptopna @surlybikes #surlypackrat (at Schuylkill, Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NbbIgD0T5/?igshid=qzfw6vrnsdve

So exited today. We designed and made a custom @roguejourneymen @surlybikes Packrat bag for Nic’s Packrat. He picked up his new bike and the custom fitted bag today. A couple weeks ago Nic had stopped at the Outpost just in case we had Surly Bikes. We have lots and lots. The conversation swirled and the bike/rack/ Rogue Journeymen Bag combined project evolved for a Packrat. Beer, surf gear, the basics. We are so stoked about this. There are 4 clips for the bag and the Surly 24 Pack Rack so he can carry lots of stuff with stability in the canvas bag. We used some super heavy duty @wickettandcraig leather plus best in class military canvas for a canvas bag that will last a really long time. So excited to combine our passions today. Thanks Nic for seeing the potential!!!! #surlybikes #leathercanvasbags #surlybikes #packrat #surlypackrat #canvas #leather #24pack #24packrack #surlysteel #roguejourneymen #grizzlybearhaute (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/BszSbxJFWuG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ksack7vu1b9z

@andrewgld went across Catalina Island with a @surlybikes Packrat, now he doesn’t like to be very far away from the bike. He took it to Big Bear for UnPredict Your Wednesday. #unpredictyourwednesday #surlypackrat #bikepacking #adventure #adventurebybike (at Big Bear Lake, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYNrMqBt6h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qdgs0cf165oi
