Nomad evolution

[Andre Jute]

On the other hand, Julio, Tonka Yellow is a warning to motorists in those narrow passes. Love your photographs and the scenery too.

Always a pleasure to see Camel's evolution and your adventures together, Julien! 

All the best,

Dan.

Julio, does that Thud Buster seatpost do much for your ride on that Nomad?

If I recall correctly Dan has one too.

I have occasionally used a cheap telescoping seatpost on mine, but usually just use the solid post.  I run 57mm wide tires on mine, so already have a somewhat smooth ride.  My telescoping seatpost, I think the most movement I have gotten out of it is about 1 cm.  I have the spring tension adjusted so that my weight does not depress the spring, but any additional force on it would be enough to depress it.

I do not think there is a thread started on Thudbusters, so if you answer, maybe best to start a new thread.

Briefly, as I don't want to hijack Julien's thread --

WRT Thudbuster seatposts, George mentioned...

If I recall correctly Dan has one too.

I have four, George; two Thudbuster LT (Long Travel, fitted to my Nomad Mk2 and my Enduro-Allroad bike) and two ST (short-travel, fitted to my randonneur-pavement tourers). I'll PM you the details.

A Forum search for "Thudbuster" (no quotes) brings up a number of discussions. One is here:

I believe Julien has the Schulz G.2 LT sus-post. It is a long-travel parallelogram seatpost similar to the Thudbuster LT but with a spring instead of elastomers. See:

Best,

Dan.

George, me too the movement does not exceed 1cm, so the LT model is not necessary, the shorter is enough in my  opinion.
I did almost 20.000kms with mine, it seems reliable and works still great.

Thanks but there is adequate detail here. 

Considering getting one, but it is a low priority.  Not sure if I will, only considering it at this time.

This piece got me thinking about getting one, he does not mention Thudbusters, but similar ones from other companies.

I have a Thudbuster ST on the E-bike I ride for work, it's more effective than I thought it would be, transforms the ride, though that's a very rigid bike and it's likely I'm more sat on it than riding it compared to a non assisted bike. 
I haven't considered one for any other bike, for my riding I don't see any need, I get off the E-bike onto any of my other bikes and they're more comfortable without needing anything else.

I am glad to tell you that my Camel is resulted !   

Salut Julien,

C'est quoi le modèle de sacoche entre ta roue et ton cadre ? J'en cherche un pour mon nomad

[jul]

Salut Thierry,

Cette sacoche provient de l'entreprise Alpkit située en angleterre.
Le modèle est de mémoire "Custom bag" ce qui signifie que c'est du sur-mesure.
Tu dois préalablement fabriquer un patron, regarde un peu plus en arrière, j'explique comment faire..

Je t'aurai bien posté le mien que j'ai conservé mais malheureusement je suis en déplacement pour plusieurs mois..
N'hésite pas à me demander si tu souhaites des précisions car tout est en anglais sur leur site il me semble.
