I did order a new Topeak Super Tourist DX Tubular Rack so I can use my trunk bag but thats it. I really want to keep the bike light.
One of the things I had to buy because I didn't realize till I got home was that the Tubes are very different on this bike over the Hybrid and I had no way of maintaining air pressure in the new tires. I have a nice shop and use a compressor most of the time but I decided to pick up a nice hand pump At my LBS. and another tube. I am trying not to put much on this bike But I use my trunk bag all the time and because it is a Topeak the rack will act as a rear fender. I think I will also rob the computer off the hybrid as well but I really want to keep the trek as intact as I can.
