Ask 'away' if you are curious about any particular aspects of cycle touring, or about the gear discussed :)

  • Nice vid.

    How can I install a trailer hitch on my touring bike? I want to attach an RV on my bike so I can pull my wife and kids along on my next trip but I can't think of any other way to do that except installing a trailer hitch on the back.

  • @bim2x4 sorry mate, really cant help with that one as i havnt got one for my bike..all the best with your mish though.

  • renting maybe a good option if you want to see if its your thing

  • What type of front rack do you use?

  • @n7app its a 'Blackburn' one (same brand as rear rack also). cheers.

  • I use my Cro-Mo frame / forked Vivente World Randonneur { The successor to your Girlfriends Mongoose Randonneur ! } for everything. A great set up...........40 hole front / 48 hole rear Velocity Dyad rims with THE BEST HUBS out there , the brilliant Phil Wood Touing hubs. I have gone flat MTB bars ith Deore triggr shifters. I agree with the saddle commnt.I hae a Selle SMP PRO.Not ceap bt simply briliant! Good video mate!

  • @Wutangspam cheers mate! And sound like you've got a primo set-up there.

see all

  • Nice video. I'd like to know more about your tent. Can you give me the exact info because I'd very much like to view it on the web. Thank you.

  • would it be better to rent a touring bike? i would only use/need one for a few weeks a year.. the other time i would just use my hybrid

  • hey guys, I've just uploaded a tour / overview video of my dad's new Carradice of Nelson bag on his touring bike. Help me to view it and don't forget to subscribe, comment and rate!

  • Chain whip = weight. just take a wee bit of string (your shoe laces will do) to tie the cassette to the spokes - loop string back and forth over cassette and around spokes - and it holds it while you open the cassette tool.

  • I've got a question.. What boards have you got in those bags !! ? haha

    seriously shows us your quiver please !
