Can’t wait to see her fully-loaded! 
Nice bodged slogan on the bag too! How’s it attached? Or is it just posing for the camera 
It was strapped on…sorta 
I’ve changed it for an old baby changing bag now lol!
Just been for a short ride with it loaded, it seems cool

Only problem is your rear light will now be invisible 
Here is some detail about the brake fitted to my 36. Pic: I decided to fit the brake ‘upside down’ on the handle that enabled a very smooth curve of the hydraulic line from the lever to the caliper. Pics: A plus point is the upside down carbon brake lever is kept well away from damage as the handles protected it from contacting the road when I upd :o.
Pic: I operate the brake with my thumb that took some practice, but being hydraulic it doesnt need a lot of strength to be effective. Recently I have set the adjuster on the brake so that it bites the rim enough to slow on an incline but the lever stops against one of the handles before it locks the rim -fine adjustments is possible on this model.
My setup is only for road riding so its mainly hills and downhill gradients when I need it.
I can’t even imagine how you ride with the handlebar that low and far-forward!
Cool brake system though. I’ve been considering a brake for the 36er, as I’m running 125mm cranks, and some of the downhills I ride down absolutely slaughter me (though I can always manage). Not sure if I want to spend up on hydraulics for something I’ll probably use once a ride though… hmmmm
This sounds great in theory, until you find a grade that exceeds your setup’s capabilities.
I used to run a friction shift brake lever and it was great. But at the time I only had the friction setting tight enough to hold the brake for one particular hill. Once I found something steeper, the shifter wouldn’t hold the brake tight enough to slow my wheel.
Slightly different, but same general idea. If you find a hill that is too steep and you need to grab more brake, you’re SOL.
Actually the brake lever travel can be adjusted ‘on the fly’ There is a small knurled knob that can be turned as I ride that adjusts the bite relative to the travel of the lever. It can be seen in the photographs at the base of the lever. Normally though I just have a general setting and pull up against the handle. More skillful riders could do a lot with it I’m sure
I think plently of people ride ‘low and long’. Ed Pratt’s setup is especially so! I don’t even like to think of the payload he has to cope with!
Haha! you now what they say about only using the brake “once a ride”? Go without and it could be the ride that kills you! 
So, I did some tweaking on my 36er today. Put my old Impact seat on it (Yepp, had this seat for years and it’s still in perfect condition, and it’s still the comfiest seat my butt has sat on so far) and also put some red cork tape on my handlebar. Weirdly, I had to use two full rolls! These rolls usually do a full road bike drop-bar setup, not sure why I had to use so much on the Q-handle… But yeah, the foam noodle that came with the handle has slowly been destroyed by the extra-frequent UPD’s from learning to ride with it
Is this the Thule rack that’s available on UDC? How do you like it so far? I’m waiting for my 36 to arrive and already am thinking of upgrades…
I like the splash of color!
So, you’ve been riding the Q-handle for a couple months now, how do you like it?
That’s a handlebar, not the Thule Rack. I posted pics of my uni, with a Thule Rack attached, on the previous page of this thread…
It’s great, nice and solid! Biggest complaint was the foam noodle ripping to shreds 
The little T-section is slightly too wide too, if I wear baggy pants it can get caught still…
I actually considered yellow tape to match the black and yellow uni colour scheme, but then I thought, give that a few weeks and it’ll be gross! So went with red. At least it matches my hub 
I think he was replying to your rack picture!
Yeah, that’s the pic I was referring to. Sorry, should have specified.
Ah, I didn’t notice you had quoted me in your original question
I haven’t seen the Thule Rack on UDC… As far as I’m aware there’s only 2 types of Thule Pack n Pedal racks though, the tour rack and the sport rack. I have the tour model
