Long time member first time posting in this sub forum. As a caveat I spent all of 1988 doing a self sufficient loaded tour of Europe. It was one of the best times of my life and I often recommend it to anyone traveling to a new place for the first time. The spirit may be the same but equipment choices have certainly changed since then.

I have a few questions for those running disc brakes.

What is the average fork offset on a touring frame?

What size discs do you run on the front?

Would you trust a robust carbon fork for loaded touring? It would have eyelets.

I ask these question because I am looking at opening some tooling for a very specific fork and I am wondering if it would cross over into touring. Any feedback or even flames would be appreciated.

If you are going to flame me please at least make it funny. "You suck!" Is just so overplayed, non?
