Bike Tinkering Goodness


 Made a few alterations to the bike recently. Put on some mechanical disc brakes. Less power than hydraulic but easier to fix and adjust, and no chance of boiling the fluid on a long Rocky Mountain Range descent (of course my own internal fluid will be boiled many times on the ascents i imagine). That said the mahoosive 203mm rotor on the front has more than compensated for the loss of hydraulic power :)  Also i have now fitted some long distance off road touring tyres, good for 10k miles!

  1. You should put some photos of all the kit you are taking. Give us some idea of how much you are carrying.
