Hello Folks,
I have been using a KM as my tourer for a few years now.
Did not set out to use it for touring but found it suited my needs perfectly.
Works just as well on road as off.
Absolutely no problem with heel strike using Monkey Nuts, a Tubus Cargo rear rack and Ortlieb panniers.
If you already have a KM frame, definitely give it a go.
Cheers,
Ross
