Managed to make it to Strasbourg okay. I can see why I didn’t come across any other cycle tours through my route via Belgium and came across about 10 today.
>>1913334I don’t know a lot about cycle touring so I just assumed everyone took a spare tyre in case one was totally written off in the middle of nowhere? Or can you gaffer tape one up to get you to the next city?
The set-up actually works really well and because I’ve just got the tent inner/outer and inflatable mat in the front ones the weight is pretty equal. Sway is practically non-existent and the weight at the rear isn’t that much and stable on a saddle rack.
Turned out the low rider rack I bought wouldn’t fit hooked panniers and the Carradice bags I already had just happened to fit!
