Finally got a rack with internal wire routing, which means I won't be wrapping excess wire around struts. I'm gonna be cutting the wire to fit and am a little overwhelmed by the electrical shrink wrap options that are on the market. Anyone have a size/type/brand etc that they like and is easy

unless I was considering a long trip, through puncturous land, i would probably opt for a different tire. There are some really nice ones in the 40mm range that will make your sam feel excellent. I also am of the belief that most rivs should ever wear a tire less than 40mm. but that's just me.

If my memory is correct, the arms are a very non-sturdy feeling aluminum. The one I had was used and more wobbly than I like. I never put much weight on it, so it was fine, but it was eventually replaced. I think cetmas are steel, I've never had one though. -- You received this message

Ok. Somewhat related question. When I see people's bike packing setups, Especially the ones without panniers, where is the food being kept? Or are people just eating protein bars and stuff for dinner? I always bring food to make, since that's one of the most fun parts about camping to me. But

Former Sam owner. It can do everything you intend to do with it. In the 2 top tube version, it rode a lot like my 83 specialized expedition touring bike. I easily was able to fit 50mm tires, and with Paul racers it stopped as well as any of my canti bikes. I don't know if the clearances are

I believe that the Appaloosa started as a middle ground between hunq and hillborne, but by the time it was made it had been made burlier and lies between a hunq and an Atlantis. At least that's my recollection of the chronology. I have a hunq, which will soon be traded for an Atlantis. It is

I've never tried this, but wouldn't pins be somewhat redundant on a pedal with straps? Also, wouldn't the pins make foot entrance/exit difficult? I was under the assumption that grippy pedals with pins were made for bmx or mtb applications where you wouldn't want straps. I have thin gripsters
