Any kind of product that repels mud? Hopefully no more encounters with mud on the remainder of your journey. However, winter is coming on and snow is no fun either. Makes me remember when I was a young teen delivering newspapers on my bicycle after school each day – and how I hated dealing with all the weight of the papers in the carrier bags on the front and back of the bike when riding it in snow and on icy sidewalks! Slipping and sliding, poor traction – be careful please!

Love, Colby and Carol

Hase Bikes has a little design issue… they apparently rarely go on forest or dirt trails!

Our problem is actually almost worse than V-brakes because we get mud over half of the circumference of the wheel, with literally no way to access the stucked mud. The Pino was designed to put thin road-touring tires, obviously inadequate for the countries and paths we went through, so we deformed the mudguard to be able to use a 2,15 inches tire on the rear wheel (the Schwalbe Mondial), and the frame with the mudguard is so narrow that there is literally only 2mm of space on the sides (maybe 8mm over the tire). The frame is not like what you would expect on a mountain bike, with narrower chain stays (kinda like a road bike) that limit the space for the wheels a lot…

This is possibly the biggest drawback of the Pino: we both agreed that we would do any other rough trip with bikes more flexible where we could put some much better wheels and tires – and float on 3 inches tires!

A delightful experience. By chance, you got disk brakes imagine with usual V-brakes. It reminds me two cross-country races: one by relay where we gave up because I had never succeeded in joining my partner and another one where I finished the race while running 2 kms with the bike on the shoulder. Now, bikes are improving with a single fork leg but definitively not intended for carrying luggage.
