  • That's exactly how I roll too.

    Fuck those garmin and their electronic gizbot, ol' paper and compass still work wonder despite being a lots less convenience.

    Ed...How much proper touring have you actually done? Serious question.
    How many miles have you actually put in on any of the equipment you recommend...how many centuries/double centuries/multi day rides/camping rides?

    I'm not trying to be a dick here...but I haven't read any ride reports from you on any of the touring you've done.
    It's one thing to tell people that you recommend this and that and that certain things are difficult to get or will break or are so comfortable or uncomfortable....but if those opinions are only formed by reading things on the internet or taking a certain product out of the box in evans, fitting it to you bike, and taking another photo of it, it's not experience....it's personal opinion.
