Took advantage of Larry’s BFD.

[GuytonMike]

I could not pass up opportunity Larry Oz offered with his BFD. He’s building a green one for me to pick up in HHI.
I’ll be ordering the light mount and stub for the front. On the back I’m debating the race case or the utility mount and water bottle cages.
What are the pros and cons of using either setup?

Mike - The racerage is so much more versatile. I have both the racecage and the utility mount I can show you at my shop - I think once you see them on the bike - I am pretty sure you will go with racecage

BFD

What does that mean? Is that something I want as well? XD I have searched for it, but nothing came up.
Ah, he has started a thread about a Black Friday sale, you probably called it a discount? Okay, not relevant for me, then.

Well, it holds the same two bottles and then some, right? Also compatible with a bladder system or anything else that fits in it. If you are actually talking about finding one of the old race cases: I think the plastic ones didn't last long enough under rough use and the carbon ones were expensive and are rare, right? If you mean the new race cahe, it should be fine.
I think, you could even get both and swap them as needed, if you ever need to save a few hundred grams?

Having both, I really prefer the race case. The race case is one of the most practical, must have acessories yet!
