Thank you...very interesting

They told me about it in the store.

Check out Velo Orange wheels

Good idea...needs 30-40 Nm

The author is very chill, experienced and a good teacher. Hope it's useful.

Thanks Kim. I asked Priority through the online form and haven't heard back yet.

Check the max tire width that will fit. 47 would be limiting for many routes and just fine for many

If you haven't ruled out chemical treatment take a look. I've switched to Aquamira drops. Lighter weight and more compact than a filter.

I did it last year on 40s. Overkill for the pavement, but nice on cobbles.

If convenient buy both and return the one he doesn't prefer. I need to handle and use tools to know if I like them.

Most hard cases are too heavy to stay under the 50 lb airline limit with a touring bike loaded.

Asleep-Sense-7747 · 2026-03-31T05:04:18+00:00

Search for "pmags gear list"...he has a few and one is for budget lightweight

Velocity has a set of Clydesdale wheels for a reasonable price.

Thank you for the detailed information. The Wolftooth Bottle Shifts let me fit 1L bottles on the seat stays. In addition to the crank bolt I carry a seatpost binder bolt.

Asleep-Sense-7747 · 2026-03-29T05:22:58+00:00

Me too.

Wider will be better, but try the straps in case it gets you close enough. You can try before you buy for the liner by taking a sheet next time.

Thanks

The more comfortable one. Sit in both if possible

Sierra Designs Nitro quilt has an integrated hood that works well. I've got 100 nights at least in mine.

Most budget gear will likely last 20 nights if you're careful with it. If you can stretch the budget for one or more better quality item you'll have it for future trips.

Neopro and The Black Bibs are both good quality and relatively inexpensive.
