Some of the many brands of parts and components we carry are from Surly, Paul’s Components, Phil Wood, White Industries and many others. We stock nearly all of the products from Surly and a selection from the rest. Over the years, we’ve used or tried nearly everything so there is some firsthand experience involved here. We can get just about anything on the market pending availability, and we’ve probably got a few opinions too, so don’t be afraid to ask. Unless you don’t want to hear what we have to say. Our primary lines are Swobo and Endura, though we can get stuff from Showers Pass and others. Lots of wool and lots of style. We stock what we like and as with everything we carry, there’s a lot of product testing done by our crew. Most of us wear this stuff so we’ve got input on sizing and quality and we refuse to sell anything that we don’t approve of.

If you just have to have that full custom bag with your own goofy artwork or pattern we can also get Trash bags. They make nice, local, custom bags anywhere from normal to tent sized.

Asia Vacation Destinations for 2016: Our 4 Picks It’s almost the end of the year, and vacation season is fast approaching. Here are our four picks for destinations that offer the best mix of convenience, natural beauty and adventure: An old, reliable favorite, Bali is one of Asia’s most versatile destinations. There’s great surfing, a massive selection of excellent beaches, world class diving, cultural activities, great nightlife… and — well, lots more. If you’re searching for a place that does everything very well, it’s hard to look past one of Asia’s most enchanting islands. Just pick somewhere other than Kuta to stay. Recommended resource: Bali GuidePattaya, of all places? What was once Thailand’s capital of all things seedy is quickly becoming one of Southeast Asia’s best seaside cities.

Pattaya is now home to one of Thailand’s top hotels, the Hilton Pattaya, and boasts a variety of great resorts just outside the city. If you’re popping into Bangkok for a few days, there’s no reason not to make the short trip here. Recommended resource: Guest Friendly Hotels Pattaya Japan’s second city, Osaka doesn’t have quite as much to offer in terms of glitz when compared to capital Tokyo, but it makes up for it with a friendly atmosphere and plenty of unique sights of its own. Just be prepared to pack a coat, since the December/January weather can get pretty darn cold. Recommended resource: Osaka Info An old favorite, Singapore is one of Asia’s best destinations for people that love a smooth, clean and streamlined experience. From shopping on Orchard Road to enjoying the activities available on Sentosa Island, Singapore has something to offer for every visitor. 5 Travel Accessories You Can’t Afford to Leave Behind Planning a vacation soon?

Here are the five travel accessories I never leave home without:I’m not talking about a huge “backpacking” backpack, but a backpack that’s small enough to bring on the plane as carry-on luggage. Choose something with enough interior space for a change of clothes, your tablet, a few books and your usual everyday carry — it will help out a lot for day trips and adventures.Belts don’t take up much space in your suitcase, but packing them can be a major annoyance. They’re soft and take damage easily when your suitcase is bumped or knocked over, and there’s no need to pack two when you only need one. Choose a simple reversible leather belt with brown on one side and black on the other — it will look good with jeans or, if it’s a little smaller, fit in well in a formal setting. A good compact camera. A DSLR might take better quality photos, but there’s nothing more annoying than carrying around a bulky full frame camera with you. Pick a compact camera with a large sensor, like my personal favorite the Ricoh GR.

Good headphones, preferably noise cancelling ones. From long flights to bus trips, having a pair of headphones and some good albums makes even the longest haul trips much more tolerable. TechRadar’s list of the best noise cancelling headphones is a good place to start your shopping efforts. A hygiene and toiletries kit. Packing your toothbrush, deodorant, medications and other essentials is much easier with a convenient kit. Amazon has a great selection of toiletry bags, most of which are priced at $20 or less.Pack the five essentials listed above and you’ll be better prepared for any trip, whether you’re visiting a nearby city or spending several weeks touring an entire continent. How to Run a MarathonI spent six months training for my first marathon and wish I had spent a year on it. The longer you train before the event, the better you’ll feel on the day (and the better you’ll run). Seriously, make sure you don’t have injuries. If you have any slight injuries from years past, they will all come out during the event.

Get everything checked — not just the obvious sports injuries, but things like your blood pressure. Just like you started training early, start dieting early. You can run a marathon while you’re overweight, but it will hurt. Expect sore joints and a much harder time keeping a good pace. Runners World has a great diet guide for newbies interested in getting into shape from a nutritional perspective.Marathon runners can develop something called a fissure of the nipple caused by friction. The end result is pain, plus nasty stains on your favorite running gear. I recommend wearing a compression vest (LANBAOSI has a good, affordable one) to avoid any chafing. For women, silicone nipple covers (the type you wear with a backless dress) are also a good choice. Take it easy on the carb loading. Yes, you need energy. No, you don’t need to eat like a pig. Change your habits suddenly before the race and you’ll feel awful once you get off the starting line. After you do it, feel proud of yourself.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating your achievement. You did something very few people ever do. Even if you walked, you still made it across the finish line. My Favorite Camera: The Ricoh GR II Ricoh cameras have always been a little unique. That’s probably why I’ve always loved them. Some of my friends have recently asked me for camera recommendations. I ignore the usual Canon and Nikon DSLRs and give them one recommendation every time: the Ricoh GR II. It’s an unusual but brilliant camera. DPReview thinks it’s okay, but to me it’s the only camera I will ever need. It doesn’t zoom or do anything fancy. It just takes really great photos. After all, isn’t that the only feature a camera really needs? How to Pack Your Suitcase the Right Way Like to travel light? If no, why not?
