Matthias, Water is definitely a concern as you move through that wonderful landscape. For the first couple of days we were near parks and human dwellings so we could fill up pretty regularly. My modus operendi is usually to drink a bottle of water whenever I find a place to refill. We asked a

Nice Roadini, lovely build, and I'm glad it has turned out so well for you. The Roadini certainly gets high praise from high-mileage riders. Roadini:Fargo:Cross Check: interesting observations. One might thing that with fat, low pressure tires the frame and fork won't materially affect ride

I've got the chain quicklink pliers and the Cable Cutters and both are great. Would buy again if I needed to, and will likely replace more stuff with their tools as needed. On Friday, March 15, 2024 at 12:25:06 PM UTC-4 peter...@gmail.com wrote: > Not at all fixated on the branding, just

Not at all fixated on the branding, just looking for tools in general. I like when there is limited choice and the shop sells only what they trust (analog, riv..) so I wanted to get some feedback on the tools. On Fri, 15 Mar, 2024, 8:40 pm Bill Lindsay, wrote: > Most people consider the Mike

I bought the MP pump. I like it, but it’s not a clear winner: + great for quickly filling up high volume/ low pressure tires - difficult to get above 45 psi or so - the base is too small and makes it feel unstable. Because of the high pressure limitations, I ended up keeping my old floor pump

Most people consider the Mike Plumpatire floor pump to be a part of the Hobson Zingo program. If you require explicit HZ branding on each item, the MP pump doesn't qualify. https://www.rivbike.com/products/mike-plumpatire-floor-pump Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, March 15, 2024 at
