Lots of hand positions and the short drop makes them easy to cruise long distances on the drops with ease. Plenty of torque for handling loaded touring, which is what we do. I highly recommend them!

The Posting System is really “unfriendly” The “how to post” is complicated…then I started but was unsure if I was doing it right….I wrote my text (????)…started posting pictures (again ????) I made some mistake hit a wrong button and the whole thing was lost…..the whole thing is confusing….frusturating ….and in the end no results & a waste of an hours worth of time….

Any plans to update & streamline???? ….I love the site but now I know why the new posting are not happening to frequently….toooooo darn difficult….(sorry for whining…just sayin’ )

I’ve been using dry bags as a cheap (and very effective) means of biketouring for a couple years now. no zippers, no pesky straps or buttons, just some plain old webbing and tri-clips and it’s all good and very waterproof too.
I used a Burton (snowboard company) cylindrical thermos to hold anything with similar shape, like water bottles or fuel and it fit on my top tube.

I wonder how many PA expats are out there? We had to add a detour to the route… the only tunnel on the route is closed until the state can make some repairs (it was an old railroad tunnel that was blasted through rock and the rock is falling from the ceiling)…two detour alternatives have been added to the documentation.
