I also rather like this set-up from Joff Summerfield of the UK, and his choice in headgear!  Note the packs on the frame. Ride safe, Hans Joff is on his 2nd round-the-world tour and went right through my county and I missed a chance to meet him! Bummed! |

Decided to replace the 26" Zesty with a 29er Cube carbon HT. Setup worked really well on a recent 3 day trip  Only thing that did not work as expected was the dynamo hub. Works great, but my average speed was ~ 7-8mph and therefore a fair amount of time was spent at speeds below what was needed for the hub to work. In future, will also take an AA battery flash charging device that I can use to keep smart phone |

A little off-topic, but that rock looks amazing! Is there any climbing or bouldering on that beach in Iceland? Looks rad!  From Iceland two weeks ago. 2015 Salsa Bucksaw. |

Still old school, but a couple of friends convinced me to take the Pugsley on a bikepacking trip and I had a BLAST! Setting it up for serious backcountry expeditionary cycling with front bar bag, 2 more cages on the fork, GPS bracket (for my Garmin eTrex 20), Cygolite Epilion 800 headlight and maybe, eventually Jones H-Loop handlebars. I think I have time for one, maybe two, more trips before the snow and buckshot start flying! Oh yeah, we gonna have some fun! Ride safe, Hans   |

That's a nice looking Fargo. I sold mine (pictured above) so I could fund a Krampus.  Krampus in its Element by mbeganyi, on Flickr I've since added a Rohloff. |

Thanks! At this point, I think the next step would be a Ti Fargo that works with a 29+ wheelset. A Rohloff is on my "someday" list. I have an Alfine 8 on a commuter bike right now that's been interesting to use. |

having ability to go 29+ is what led me to the krampus. i was looking at going to a 29+ front on my fargo... and the krampus came up for a good price. i looked at the ECR too, which would be more fargo like, but i wanted the higher BB as my fargo was my main MTB.

bmike - How have you liked the transition so far? I am looking into going fat, but not sure if I should go Pug or ECR/Krampus. |

Krampus isn't really fat. I have a pugs that I'd call fat. Several locals have Ice Cream Trucks which I consider obese. The krampus is chubby.
Love it so far. The wheels and tires roll really well on dirt and singletrack, and the bike is just fun.
I looked at ECR but coming from the Fargo I wanted more MTB and less touring bike.

My Yeti ARC "Joan of ARC" I bought for bike packing. This is from my first big trip on the Ozark Trail. Works perfect for the role.
