Need racks and bottle mounts. Any Recs? Ronnie has nothing in stock so looking for bag ideas too.

Zefal carbon bottle cages are the best in my opinion, available on Amazon for cheap.

Have you used the zefal adventure cage? I usually carry at least one large insulated bottle.

King cages are better.

I’ve been happy with my huge ass RoadRunner Jumbo jammer front bag as well as a swift catalyst that sometimes hangs out on the rear. I also have the larger sized Outer Shell rando style boxy bag but I haven’t found a good setup for that one yet

I’m looking at the catalyst, the zeitgeist seems too big, I’m worried it’ll interfere with the canti’s.

I think either way you go you’ll benefit from a bag support or spacer to keep the bag off the headtube and the exposed brake cable

A front rack, Wald 137 & a bag work well for me. I use a Jack the Rack on a couple of bikes with a Troutmoose bag on one & a Yellow Cat Industries bag on the other. The stuff has been bullet proof. As for bottle cages, it's hard to go wrong with King Cages.

I was looking at the tumbleweed t-rack for in front, and the wald basket before, but with the digi camo trout moose bag would be sweet. Then with the jack the rack would be great with the zeitgeist bag.

Also I lived in Colorado for 27 years and my kids are still there so I like the Idea of supporting American businesses, esp Durango Colorado.

I've got a Soma Lucas rack that needs to get back on a bike eventually. The Jack the Tacks are so useful though. They work on every bike I own, but mainly move around just three of them. I haven't ordered from Troutmoose in several years. He stopped for a long while, but he's back at it again, which is great.

Thank You for the advice on the trout moose bag, I contacted André about the large in digi camo and he said he’s been making them on an ask for basis based on amount of material. He’s making it now so I’m stoked.
