Well still havent got a really good testing spin as yet,I had planned to do a 50miler today but the weather is terrible, rain rain and more rain.i still need to change the brake calipers, the campag i have on are to short need 57mm drop which will allow me to fit mudguards and rear rack hopefully then i will be set to tour.
i will be keeping my load as light as i can possibly get it, rear ortlieb classic panniers only maybe a small barbag so my packing lise will have to be well thought out .i wont be touring for more than a week at a time and plenty of overnighters come the summer so thats the reason i went for the Thorn Audax it should be well capable of carrying my load.
Anto.
