Are Ironweed bags made in the US?
I don't know much about this company and I just looked at their website,
but could not find anything about their production.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with bags made outside of the US, but you
should know 100% where they are made, if that is important to
So something I learned.
As the bars get higher, the angle tends to steepen. As albastache bars for
me on a 8cm tallux stem barely make it up to saddle height, that means
they're basically flat.

I swapped out Noodles for the Albastache a while back on the Roadeo.

You might well be surprised, LJ! I live int he Colorado mountains and
absolutely love my QB. One gear from up, one for down (and the occasional
semi-flat bit). I was surprised how rapidly I adapted to handling climbs.
As my only bike? No. But what a blast they are! The simplicity is wondrous.

I fear Jan is requiring that we think of two or three things at once.
Previously, he's laid out ranges of ideal tire size for specific wheel
sizes, based on the effects of rotational inertia on steering, among other
things (tire weight, air volume). For 700C, 32mm was the top of the range,
I should have thought of the 700C Surly LHTs. That's a popular touring bike.
But if you go to a popular mountain bike trail, in one day you'll see
more 29ers than all the LHTs you've ever seen. 29ers have taken over
the mountain bike market.

I didn't know that your rims are that wide. FWIW, my rims are 44 mm wide
and the FFs measure 53 mm at well below the 20-25 I run them at (haven't
ridden Fargo in a while). I expect they'd flare out to at least 55 on 50
mm rims. But I can't comfortably say that they'd work on 50 mm rims.

If you think about it, you realize that putting a tire on a too-narrow
rim will make it narrower, because you have decreased the total
circumference of the cross-section. Putting a tire on a too-wide rim
will make it flatter, because the tire has to stretch out to reach the
two sides of the rim.
Their homepage states the bags are made in the US. http://www.ironweedbp.com
FWIW, I tried the Orpington, and while it was made nicely, there were some
design choices, particularly the forward facing flap and bottom attachment,
that I wasn't a fan of. Also, aesthetically, I like a little

Rod, thank you for summarizing it so well. Yes, the extra cush and grip of
wide tires trumps the slower handling. That handling issue can be positive
