Anyone toured on an inbred? - thinking with panniers across France
Also want to swap these
for the revelations I already have - to raise the front a bit a la revelations but lighter
Any views on this?
Many thanks

On the road? Will work fine.
I rode mine from London to Paris a few years back over three days and it was perfect.
Its kitted out with some nice Surly 1x1 forks with the steerer left uncut and some Mary bars to give me a more relaxed ridng posistion.
Yep really for road only or towpaths with slicks
Mary bars is an interesting idea, no good for mountain biking when I tried them but might be good for road use
Good stuff
I have just given my defunct summer season frame to P Austin as he's set it up as a tourer. Looks kinda weird tho.
John,
You know stinky is just wrong in the head 😈
And you know i hate 456/summer seasons

29er, was good with Midge bars up the Outer Hebrides. Slot dropout makes the rack fit nicely.
I did it,, I found with enough stuff on the back I could manual using the brake to keep me up..

The wibbling out of the saddle due to the weight on the back took a bit of getting used to other wise it was fine..
(edit) yup, any kind of bumps or rough terrain was a bit mad though..
Bloodyhellfire! What were you carrying in there???!
Everything, camping and cooking and clothes for November - December in Spain, wouldn't have liked to have anything less to be honest.. rode from my old work at Sierra Cycling to the Cabo de San Vincente (the westerly most point of mainland Europe),, it was quite nice really.
Great for touring on and off road:

I have mary bars on my commuter. They are much better on the road than off IMO. Plenty of variations in hand position for climbing/cruising when I go a bit further.
Yep- used my Inbred 29er when I toured Thailand, and currently planning a few little trips whilst I'm in Ethiopia. Currently using it every day to commute to college.
And then a big trip from Istanbul to London next year.
In Bangkok...
