In a mad week of stress and bodge, I got this ready for 10 days in Ireland, 5 of which were touring. Budget dictated a cheap rear loading setup, with wald up front. It was a bit noodley but managed just fine save for a couple of punctures.
Since getting home I've bought some Conti Race Kings in 2" flava, yet to be fitted. I'll be spending night or more trying to force the guards to work nicely with them no doubt.
Money is then being directed towards replacing the fork with something made of metal. The below post from velo-orange has all but convinced me to get a Piolet fork. Powder coated to match the frame ofc.
Then it's time for front rack, but I'll cross that bridge when the bank allows.
