Must point out the Crosscheck is the only one with rims brakes, which I think Smallfurry would rather have disc over that.
True. forgot about that.
I have full Vee brakes currently. Decent brake set-up. But in snow they clog in the right conditions.
With the Fatbike on the way. The winter abilitys of the CX commuter are less important. But I'm looking at it as a winter roadie. With the fatbike as a winter off-roader. Front and rear pannier mounts are far more important to me. The disc trucker is a good option. Doesnt come with grown-up sized wheels in my size though. Just want to swap across my current set-up, and up-grade the brakes. Interestingly the Kona ute would work perfectly as a donor frameset. Its just not availible as a frameset. Bum!
In other news. My Big fat larrys have cleared customs, and will likely get here on Tuesday. Exactly as I leave for the UK. Bum!
