Fargo Update

A couple more changes with the Fargo recently...

First off the second stem/accessory bar is back on.  I got a simple GPS unit to replace the computer and the only good option for mounting it was on the accessory bar.  It's a Garmin eTrex Legend H (which is much cheaper than Garmin's cycling specific models).  It's a very basic unit that gives me all the info my old computer provided, but also records GPS data during my rides.  It has no wires, sensors, or magnets.  Definitely liking it so far.

The GPS unit has led me to create a new blog page here.  I'll be adding to it as I map more of my local routes.

Another change has been with the tires... the Fargo now has a Schwalbe Big Apple 700x50 up front and a Continental Travel Contact 700x37 in back.  Both are actually heavier than the previous knobby tires, but roll much smoother.  I'm really liking both tires so far.

I mentioned the seat tube pack in a previous post, but didn't get into any details at the time.  It's a seat bag that I modified with a clamp that allows it to be mounted directly on the frame or seatpost.  Most small seatbags don't fit on the Thudbuster ST seatpost, and I needed a little bit more space to put my tools.  This worked out perfectly.

The clamp is an E-Type front derailleur mounting clamp.  It's a handy little clamp when trying to rig things to work where they aren't designed to...
