    The Great Chip Shortage / What Happens Next ?

    I sent Expo East a PM and received this response today: "Our COVID protocol policy will reflect local and federal guidelines and requirements at the time of the show. We cannot adequately assume what those might be as we all know things can change a lot in short periods of time. So we have kept...

    What gets adjusted when increasing tire size?

    Going from 32 to 35, I can see how the odometer and speedometer would be off by 9%, but how is the ABS affected? Doesn't that just reduce hydraulic pressure when it senses that the wheel is turning significantly slower than vehicle speed? Given that both parts of the comparison are equally...

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    Turns out that none of them fit into the first Sherpa bar I checked. The next day I tried other crossbars and the bolts fit into almost every one, including several recent purchases. Not sure why but not all bars are equal.

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    Odd - I just tried a set of 1/4-20 carriage bolts from McMaster - none of them fit in my Sherpa rack. Too wide - maybe I can file them down.

    Overland Expo Mountain West 2021

    Still no change. I'm considering cancelling at the 61 day mark (Expo East). I haven't worn a mask in over a month. No way I'll wear one for an event celebrating outdoor "adventure".

    What mileage did you purchase your rig?

    I met my rig when she had 7. After a short date she had 12. A negotiated marriage made it final.

    I would also add the importance of knowing your pace counts for a set distance across varying terrain.
