The Crosscheck will feel more lively than the LHT. If your loads are large you'd probably be happier riding the LHT loaded. If your loads are light the...
Hello Everyone- ... A couple of times recently we have been self-sufficient but without a stove. Igor just tends to eat cold stuff (as far as I can tell) if he...
comments below ... Re: Enjoyment... yeah... if I was "racing"... but touring is about enjoyment... and food is always a large part of the travel experience. ...
OK, now anyone with expierence of either vs. the Karate Monkey? Other than the clearance for much larger tires, how much difference? I am assuming as the KM...
I have a cross check and I've toured fairly heavy on it year round. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmeiser2/tags/crosscheck/ I did switch the front fork over to...
There's been some talk on here of bike tents... i.e. a tent specifically made for bike touring, perhaps something even that holds the bike inside. The basic...
Hi! To answer Mike and all the others: I'm in Vancouver now and will start the ride tomorrow, 29th June. I have return flight on 5th august, sorry, it could...
That is marvelous. Takes me back to France, after P-B-P '99 when I first toured. I carried one of those thermal bags to keep things cool and put in dry...
from columbia falls (which i lived for a very long time) east toward cut bank on hwy 2 takes you along the southern boundary of GNP a very beautiful...
Barry - If you like an semi off-asphalt tour, consider riding from Whitefish North to Eureka and then East through the Natl Forest (mostly Trail Creek Road) to...
Hi. Last year i have sewn a harness i can attach to my handlebar. This harness let me use a 10L dry bag in front. It give me a setup similar to Carousel Design...
I used a CDW bag for the divide last year but it was on a Mary bar. However I am now running it on a bar with very little rise (syntace vector low rise) but 12...
Hi Mary! Dave Nice tells me congratulations are in order for you. :-) I remember seeing some photos of Jeff's (Carousel Design) bike in which he ran the cables...

Of the Divide racers that have stopped here more of them have been using Eric's bags than Jeff's. Kurt Refsnider had the harness bag arrangement on his bike...
I have slowly been getting my equipment together for my tour… One of the items that I have been looking at is the "Power Monkey Explorer" Does any one have...
FYI I put together a video gear list. My gear weight is between 20 and 25lbs so I'd describe it as lightweight rather than ultralight. I see a lot of frame...
I just came back from a 600 mile bike tour along the California Coast, from San Francisco south, and posted some pictures. It was just a 4 day weekend trip,...
I can't believe you have a dynamo front hub on what is essentially a time trial bike, let alone that you're touring with it. :) How about did you end up with a...
Nice setup dude. How much does it weigh? Nice touch with the sleeping pat on the top tube. I've been wanting to do more touring with my road bike but we're...
BTW, you could make better use of your handlebars by using a stuff sack and hanging some gear from your aero bar. (that is an aerobar right?) -Mike On Wed, Aug...
Hi Mike, Â I didn't weigh everything so I can't tell you exactly how much it weighed, but I would venture to say that the bike was about 18 to 19 lbs with the...
Hi Adrian, that is great setup and a great tour. I don't ride at night if I don't have to, but your setup with the dynamo hub gave me a whole different...
Hi Stan, Nice work on the video. I look at so many lightweight kit photos online, but I can't fathom how they fit the volume in such small bags. This goes...
That's a good point, I didn't even think of that. The plus for me is that I didn't have to camp because it got dark, I could continue on and listen to the...
Dear Stan- A nice video indeed. I agree with you with respect to saddlebags. I've just back from the Italian Alps with a pretty similar system to yours: ...
