On the Straggler? I had the bb7s and avid levers already and I'm on a zer0 (or as little as possible) additional spend policy on it. I also have a lifetimes supply of spare pads after I panic bought loads when we re-upped in Bolivia.
Good point on the skewer, I think I might have a set of halo skewers with hex heads in a toolbox somewhere.
The Rambler is also going to be mechanical - for now Paul Love levers with bb7 calipers, although @MrBaklava is on a campaign to convince me to treat myself to Klampers (and he might win).
Maybe with the bigger tyres I'll want more power/control than the bb7s can offer but I've not felt the need for more on the Surly.
Now you've got flats are you not tempted to go hydro? Also maybe Non-QR if left outside. Every little helps.
