Going to need one of those bags to carry a replacement chain for when you break one. Looks like its about 6ft long.

This is particularly huge. I've never been anywhere (not that I've been to that many places, I suppose...) that fascinated me like Iceland.
Iceland is awesome.
I hope you like eating boiled roots, because there are no vegetables.
Horses and sheep aren’t vegetables? They seem to grow like weeds over there. Iceland is amazing, but windy AF.

What are the main advantages? Obviously gets you more space for gear. Does the longer wheel base provide more comfort?
Edit: Found the answer in another thread...
Where Jim explained it.

Iceland has been #1 on my hit list for a couple years but I've been busy with other things. This year I'm looking forward to having some fun adventures in new places.

Maiden voyage on Fatty McStretchy Balls. It feels like a bike. Surprise!! Sitting on it feels the same, you don't notice the rear wheel is farther back. Popping on/off curbs had a little delay but not really what this bike is for. Sick.
Oh, and this thing weighs 29lbs flat.
2:24 total - 177lbs.

Is the big S sending you a warranty frame?
Steve Vai
Endurance Guy: Tolerates most of us.
No. Apparently sanding a frame to bare carbon and drilling a half dozen holes in it voids the warranty. Who knew?
Do they even know who you are!?
Steve Vai
Endurance Guy: Tolerates most of us.
Yes. That's why they said no!!
I'm going to build it back up after Wendigo with my sweet Red Bull can shim and green loctite to ride still. Planning on racing that at Iditafat in NY in March, and Short Track if it happens.

Great color bike and chain. How is the chain slap?

Things are looking good for Wendigo...

It's pretty slappy. I need to wrap the stay with a tube. Oldskool style.

Top of the line advanced electronic shifting...zip tied tube chainstay protector. Punk AF.
Also are you able to get an extra long sram chain or did you have to splice it. Did you use two quick links?
Two visible in photo.
Very observant, is that the connex link @jimvreeland ? Any reason for using that one?
