Bikes: '78 Raleigh rebuilt to 21C...Redline Monocog cyclocross in steel redone to 8 spped trekker

GDMBR… have photos of the gates at Fleecer’s Ridge…this weekend not on hand. Was to wet for entry.
Appreciate the ultra light posts…moves my brain into balancing the light weight vs the camping approach. I’ll work on that with trials when I get out there at Senators Wash.
I’m more camper than rider but the rider light approach supports the camping or lack of riding.
Is ultra light your raison de etrah ? how light for how long ?
Added thornproof Spec tubes this week and itsa dog relatively to the Raleigh. A few grams here and a few there and pretty soon you’re bogged down. But not flat.
No thorn proofs in the Andes ? any flats ? Having seen some photos I’d like to go. That was years ago.
You had canvas or nylon. ?
Here’s plyrack photo’s

Thanks for the Tubus mention. No Tubus relatives online ?
