John’s Crust Dreamer 2.0

Reportage

John’s Crust Dreamer 2.0

“Where’s your Dreamer?” “What happened to the green Dreamer?” “Do you ever ride your Dreamer?”

Since posting up the gallery of my Crust Bikes Dreamer, it’s been the bike people email me about the most. I get various questions, ranging from the ones I listed above, to questions on the Microshift and how I like the Dreamer platform. When I first got the bike, Crust Bikes and Darren Larkin, the builder of the Dreamer frames, were working on a few details. What I ended up with was a bike that was in-between versions and a few things weren’t working out so well. This prompted me and Darren to talk about the bike in detail and him offering to take it back to update and fix a few things. Read on below to find out what happened between these two models.

Sinewave Cycles New Beacon Generator Lamp with Built-In USB Outlet

Charging your devices from a generator hub is a great option for a touring bike or bikepacking rig. Unfortunately, it’s not usually the easiest to setup, often requiring splicing into the wiring. The newest made in the USA Sinewave Cycles product looks to change that with the Beacon generator lamp. This lamp has an integrated USB outlet, allowing you to either charge a battery pack or your device directly while maintaining a flicker-free beam. These are shipping now and come in a variety of colors. See more info at Sinewave Cycles. Kyle from Outer Shell has a great install posted on his Instagram, which I highly recommend checking out as well!
