Also, I'm real curious about the 12 and 14 pound bikes? Doesn't sound like typical touring bikes, at least not the typical Trek 520 or Surly LHT rides. Pics as ridden during the testing would be neat.
I've been thinking of adding two fiber spokes to my seat bag.
They were all on the rear. None of us run front panniers so we wanted them on the tire supporting all the weight. Two of us had them on the drive side and the other two on the non drive side.
As mentioned above, none of us use touring frames. I can't speak for the others but mine was custom built in Germany. My last bike was just under 11lbs so this one is a little heavier.
They're a great addition.
