"MOG is more than just a word; it's a verb, a noun, an acronym, and above all, a state of mind for those who constantly challenge the limits of distance and embark on thrilling explorations. There is no road too long, no course too demanding for those who are willing to embrace the MOG spirit”.
ALMSTHRE + MOG fully embraces this sentiment. We aim not to redefine the essence of riding, but rather to experience the joy of two wheels in our own unique way. ALMSTHRE was born in Southern California, where our trails lie and this is what we ride.
The Specialized Tarmac is for those who quite simply want one of the best road bikes available. An aero road bike built for speed yet comfortable enough to spend all day in the saddle, all in an extremely light package.
We use the bike, in this instance more like a fine wine being paired with a insatiable cheese. Something like a semi soft Gruyère or Comté and a nice Pinot Noir. The Tarmac and (bias opinion) best cycling saddle bag are a winning combination.
As Whitney states, the purpose of a saddle bag on your bike is "to be able to fix the most common mechanicals you're gonna encounter on the road"
This would be the absolute minimum you would want to bring with you on a ride. If you pay attention to most professional gravel racers, this is the minimum that they race with as well.
