i'm not understanding what's going on here.
why are you pushing trek® merchandise so hard?
is it just validation for your own purchases?
you started i don't know how many scores of
threads, a veritable cornucopia, on the 920.
then you bought one, and you never rode it.
now you're on a fork bag binge, recommending
them though you've never used them. offering
them as an alternative to the front rack and
panniers you've also never used.
why not fill up those grooooovy fork bags and
take zombie-killer™ out for a spin. let us know
how the bike handles with various amounts
of stuff loaded on various surfaces.
or as an alternative, you could head down to
maplewood cycles and buy some more trek®
gear on sale, take it home and throw it on a
pile in the basement, and start a dozen new
posts.
