I took my MTB touring in the Summer.
I replaced the rigid forks I had on it.
Fitted a rear rack using these fancy things from SJS, and a front canti-mounted rack from SJS to support my messenger bag loaded with food / map / jacket etc..
Got a massive bottle cage which can hold 1.5 litre PET bottles (easily available).
Used the same old SPD shoes and fitted some CST touring slicks I got off ebay.
If you need touring kit info there are a lot of places to get it, mainly crazyguyonabike.com.
Have fun! Massive Pic Linky
awesome thanks man, how do those clips from SJS work with the rack? is it because MTb's dont have the necessary hols in the dropouts for the the onventional rack spats
are PET bottles just normal coke/fanta etc bottles
whats yuor advice on handlebars/ pedals
