- Wilmington-San Pedro-Long Beach area
- Does anyone know this area well enough to give good routings through it? I have ridden it, and found the Wilmington area to be somewhat less than ... well, it was simply a nightmare. (If it hadn't been so dangerous, it would have been entertaining --...
- Tire sizes for light duty touring
- I am setting up a 96 Bianchi San Remo for light touring and I am not sure what tire size to go with. I think the bike will handle a 700x35 but I know I do not want to go that large. I am thinking about a 28, 30 or 32 and am leaning toward a 30. I int...
- Electronics
- I am wondering what to do about electronics on our upcoming transam. Options seem to include everything from carrying a laptop to carrying nothing but the digital camera and a bunch of memory cards. Since there will be three of us to share the load c...
- Pacific coast: better Guadalupe-Lompoc alternative?
- Most people follow the usual route; but a local cyclist who lived in that area said that there is a significantly better way. Instead of staying on Hwy 1 until Harris Grade Road, you turn off on Black Road, where the sign says 'Casmalia'. It's suppos...
- Northwest Arkansas Touring rout
- I live in Northwest Arkansas. I'm planning my first tour for the third week in May. I have used google maps, bikely, mapquest, many different atlases. I can't figure out a good way to plan a tour. I am looking for a 5 to 7 day unsupported trip on pav...
- IRD CAFAM Cantilevers
- I ordered these for my LHT build, which is finally going to be done next week. http://www.interlocracing.com/brake_canti.html They come preloaded with Koolstop pads. Has anyone tried these? The price was the same for the Shimano BR-R550, they're cold...
- Hotels and bikes
- So many people here must have travelled without prior bookings at hotels. How many of you have had to leave your bikes outside overnight? My friend and I are touring in the Black Forest soon, and though there are many, many bike friendly establishmen...
- Sleeping bag for June departure E-W transam?
- We are debating about what sleeping bags to take for a June 9 departure from Jamestown for the transam. What kind of temps can we expect and where? We all own 55 degree REI bags that work great for Summer camping. They work pretty well down to 40 if...

- LHT(Complete) Brakes
- I'm happy with just about all of my LHT except for the )@(#$ Brakes. The LHT frame doesn't allow for any fine tuning of the brakes... the rear brake cable hanger is not threaded. In the front, the brake cable hanger that is clamped onto the stem is a...
- Airline regulations, is this right???
- I was checking the regulations for flying with my bike, and it says to make sure the tyres are inflated. Surely that should read Not inflated? wouldn't the air pressure blow them if they were inflated? (锕侊箒)~~~~------------------------------------...
- Arkel Dolphin 48 waterproof panniers
- Hello all, does anyone have any fully-loaded touring experience with Arkel's Dolphin line of waterproof panniers? Just curious, I don't find anything on these forums, nor much internet chatter about them. http://www.arkel-od.com/panniers/dol...asp?fl...
- Pheonix to Grand Canyon to Las Vegas
- It turns out that, for the first time in about a decade, I'm getting a tax refund (it's actually a bad thing, because it means I made a less money last year than in previous years - but I may as well make lemonade, you know?), and between this and my...
- Disenchanted with Schwalbe Marathons...
- I used to ride Continental Top Touring 2000 (700x37) tires and found them to be smooth-riding and reasonably durable. For me, they were the ideal tire, but they are no longer available. I had read many good things about Schwalbe Marathon tires, so I...
- Does gear ratio really matter?
- I apologize if this has been discussed, but hopefully I can add some insight. I'm looking at buying a touring bike, and I've been investigating all the usual suspects in the price range (Fuji Touring, Jamis Aurora, Trek 520, Cannondale T800, Bianchi...
- Surly Long Haul vs mid-80's Miyata
- I'm looking for a project and decided on building a steel touring bike. I'm a 61 year old woman, and I really do much better with a lighter weight bike. I'm very careful about how much weight I carry with me. That said, does anyone have knowledge abo...
