I know it’s hella goofy but I absolutely love my rain cape.

My only complaint is that the hood is meant to go under the helmet which is insane. It works over the helmet but it could work better.

I think I want that for 80 degrees and rainy, not 35 and rainy.

I’ll get in touch after he’s picked out his bell.

anybody got a spare rabobank flite?

I need a bag for an 18" laptop.
The actual laptop dims are 16" x 13" x 1".

Doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just need something to transport this beefy boi in. Messenger/satchel/backback style might all work. Could even just be a nice reinforces sleeve that I can carry in a separate bag.

One of my cow-orkers has this TAF bag

I carry my 15" in a Tumbuk2 bag. It is a perfectly cromulent backpack.

[jimmythefly]

Thanks but says it holds up to a 16" laptop, would be too small for my needs. I have a couple of 16" laptop-sized bags and they are just unable to fit my 18" chonk.

i have a quite substantially sized timbuk2 padded laptop sleeve, will get measurements when i’m home later.

edit: it’s 15x13, a 16 ain’t gonna fit

I have a huge MUSA Timbuk2 messenger bag that I hauled some very large laptops in. It’s in good condition other than the liner is falling apart and (I think) one of the claps is busted. I can get a measurement if you are interested but I’m 100% sure it will hold almost any laptop

Looking for an old Tubus Tara. Emphasis old. I want one with the one-hole triangular mounting tab:

I specifically don’t want the updated version with the 2 hole tab:

I see one on ebay right now that I’m probably buying but thought I’d check here too

I have a Chrome messenger bag that might work. I’ll check and get back to you.

For the uninformed, why?

I’m interested, not in any rush but if you happen across it pull some dimensions thanks. In general I just like old MUSA timbuk2 bags.

[jimmythefly]

Also interested in the Chrome, lemme know, no rush.

I actually just wrote it up for the dither thread lol:

Weird Build Dithering Thread Infinity: Part 2

So I wanted to get a low-rider rack for my new bike. I wanted another Tubus Tara, bike company couldn’t tell me if it was compatible or not, but the chart on the Tubus site suggested it might. I decided the easiest thing to do was test fit some of the racks that were already on my bikes. First up I have this old Tara that’s been on my LHT for about 12 years: [20251210_154359] Angles are pretty good, and there is just enough clearance to get the axle out without removing the rack. Clearance o…

could you get the extra wide version (assuming they still make it) and just bring it in again with spacers?

I have one of these hanging on my wall, but no you can’t have it. Shipping from PI would be prohibitive anyway.

Well thankfully I have solved the problem by finding what I was looking for on ebay. I was not aware of an extra-wide version. They do make an extra long one but it has the same mounting dimensions.

No laptop sleeve, just one cavernous compartment. Sorry.

I got one sitting in my bins at the shop, if you didn’t buy that eBay one I can check Tuesday

[Dr_Jart_Attack_PhD]

Ebay one should be here Monday but I’ll let you know if I got screwed!
