When I get back from AK I'll probably just buy a frame and swap my build over.

Plus side, my new Salsa rack came in and it fits like a dream. I might be able to run a HuDu out back now.
I'm gonna run a second stuff sack in between the rack and post. They make a bag for that spot but I think I just want to run my Parka in there for super easy access. It stuffs down into a 15l bag so it doesn't need much more than a Voile strap.

That Topeak rack looked massive compared to the Salsa 197 that I have on my Mukluk, I'm surprised it was limiting your options. granted I ''only' run 80mm rims, the HUDU does have plenty of clearance with the Salsa rack.
You need to put some intermediate chainring with an offset displacement and run two separate chains on that thing, looks like you're cutting into the tire big time...may seen save you moneys in chains n the long term...positioning maybe a b###h !

It was the height that limited it. The width is massive on the Topeak rack. I've been running that tire for 4 or 5 years now so it's got a lot of use. The chain rubbed against it on my Fatboy too. It doesn't rub anymore with my new hokey Sramano 10-speed set-up.

Plane leaves February 25th. I might not ever be back.
That's why you should fix my friend's bicycle before you leave.
does this friend even know the work maintenance? AFAF

That friend should possibly have that rear wheel rebuilt at some point. I have a Wild Dragon at the shop.
He happens to have a broken spoke on his rear wheel now anyway. I'll have his people contact your people next week.
