I have a Mongoose Envoy, which is probably the best adventure bike ever made. It's a mid-tail cargo bike built on an aggressive mountain bike frame, with a full sport posture and high stance for plenty of ground clearance. Being a Mongoose, naturally, I had to throw the tires away on day one and put real tires on, but over all, if I were riding trails on the Appalachians it would be perfect. Sadly, I need an urban cargo bike, and something closer to an Omnium would probably be better.
I built the wheels myself using a White Industries rear hub, and a Shutter Precision dynamo hub up front. the rims are carbon from a company called Nextie, and i've had nothing but good luck with them. we would build up a set of wheels with these rims at least once a week at my last shop. As for tires, Schwalbe is one of very few brands that makes tubeless ready 20" tires, so i went with a slightly more aggressive rocket ron on the front, and one of their XC tires on the back, the racing ralph. TLDR - custom and yes, stoked on em!
Wow, Sounds awesome, just as Video. The tires are 2mm (with 57mm) wider than Omnium suggests for the tire width. We’re there any issues? Despite the minimal weight loss of Carbon to Aluminium especially in the 20“ wheel (650gr. vs 280gr) have you had a choice of driving another bike to compare them?
@@Elefantenklo23 tires are close, but totally fine if you stay out of chunky mud. i have ridden the same rims on non-cargo bikes and they are rad. that minimal weight loss is super noticeable when you first spin up. definitely feel it when you're stopping and starting for city riding on this thing.
Thanks! yeah been shooting on that Pentax for 10 years! The bike itself is only 2 lbs (900 grams) heavier than my hardtail mountain bike, so really the only extra weight are the camp chairs i normally wouldn't be able to fit on the mtb!
looks like y'all had a fantastic time! sorry about the dingus who spoiled the tail end of the ride, but i'm glad y'all made the best of it regardless. great video, and valuable perspective ✌

What what wheels and tyres do you use? (and happy with them?)
