Yep, no bounce at all. That is thick stainless, not at all easy to bend into that shape with good leverage.
well dang iām just not inventive enough. thanks folks
I use the unbent bracket attached to a p-clamp on the drive side front rack leg.
I have it lined up with the tire so that if it ever gets hit and spins, itāll drag on the tire instead of jamming into the spokes
I would not trust a p clamp that far if i had other options but lightweight light and no bosses checks out.
Yepā something with no risk of rotating into the wheel would be better, but I had no problems with this set up for ~5 years of use
I know this isnāt the bike messenger thread and most cagro bike in here are for kid toting but I just found out that Bagaboo makes cargo bike bags and Iām fucking blown away by the price.
US$295. That fucking zipper alone is like $10. The vinyl is probably $60. The cordura is maybe $40 if itās military compliant which they claim.
I straight up have no idea how theyāre making money on these considering theyāre surely not selling a ton of them. If I was still in the game Iād happily buy one. My fucking rolltop work bag I used for years was like $350 and that was in 2012.

Yeah, thatās outrageously cheap! Those bags look great and really well thought out.
I canāt believe how expensive this kinda stuff has become. I bought my bullitt kid canopy about two years ago and it was roughly half as expensive as it is today!
Been considering one of these for a while. Should probably just buy one before they come to their senses.

Today I overheard two other cargo bike dads at drop off chatting about their urban arrows and one was like āOh hey, you rolled over a thousand miles! Niceā
I was then inspired to try to figure out how many miles Iāve put on the bullitt since I got it on 2/9/2020. Iāve put 1947.5 miles on it with the di2 internal gearz and 4777 miles on it since the switch to external gearing for a grand total of 6724.5 recorded miles. I donāt know what the point of this was other than to satisfy my curiosity.

Getting close to $1/mi? (I ignore maintenance/dithering expenses - just base bike cost).
Edit: Or your Bullitt was second-hand? So youāre probably way under (or need to count dithering costs).
It was second hand in that it sat in some boomerās garage for a couple years and got ridden to the coffee shop a few times. He said it had ~50mi on it and I believe it. The stock tires still had the nubbins on them.
I paid $3700 for the bike, so Iām closer to $.50/mi!

Iāve got about 4000 miles on my Big Dummy now, with about 1500 on the e-kit. Mileage has fallen off a lot lately, but I just ordered a new harness for the Yepp Maxi that should cinch tighter than the current one and then the baby will be ready to roll!

Where does that put your mi/$? Iāll bet you got me beat, especially if you donāt count the cost of the e kit. Didnāt you get the bike for a song?
I got the bike for like $800 but Iāve probably got close to another $2k in it between the dyno lights and then the electric kit and now the dropper post. Still doing pretty good but more than 50 cents a mile!

I am never doing the math on dollars per mile on any of my bikes.

Got a CB2 media console for $90. It weighs like 150lb though. And once again the craigslist seller was like, āare you sure? We can hold it if you need to find a ride?ā Luckily this lady just left me to it instead of watching me slowly ride away like the last guy.
