    What's in your trailside tube repair kit?

    I haven't had to deal with tubes in a long long time, and need to put together something for the ktm. I've legit only had one flat in 20 years and that was 10 min from the house on the GSA, I was excited to finally use the plug/compressor kit I've been dragging around for years. im thinking...

    youtube channels

    To be honest I turn all that off so I don't even get notifications for channels ive subscribed to. With my own channel I just use it as a means to put the occasional video in a post on here so its not some monetized thing or what not, but I don't recall seeing any specific settings when...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Added a pelican case (storm 2100 - just big enough for camera/drone/snack without looking out of place) and the veridian cruse control to the 690.

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Might have to try a set of those round enduro double takes...the 690 came with the bigger adv mirror/long ram arm double takes but they still mostly show me a view of me....those round ones would give me an extra 1.25" in length without going with some sort of mirror extender arm.

    I've been running E07's for years now and they do everything I need, and where the won't get me I have no right being on a 600 lb bike....all while having cross country and back longevity. only kind of negative is the front is usually screaming pretty good after the second rear is done, so I...
