So more pondering a from the road. By this I mean ideas, sometimes fleeting, that I have while touring!
My wife's "touring" bike is a Dutch frame and we run 26" wheels and 2" tires because of most tours take us on really crummy roads or fields.
But her everyday bike is a 1981 Miyata Mixte 310 that I have converted to 650b with 38 mm tires and fenders.
We have done a few shorts trips with just rear panniers but I was wondering about a front Tubus rack. I would need to add bosses. But how would determine the fork is adequate?
