need help/advice building this up! paints pretty good and got a full set of the decals the other day, also have front spok coming to me but now its the rear end I'm thinking about.
In-between just magic gearing it or getting track ends put on.have many people magic geared their loproozz?? how long does chain last until it needs to be adjusted?
-
i definitely will need a six-pack holder! cheers @miro_o!

@TM how bad was it? would you do it again with a sleeping mat? just looking at my options because tents are pretty heavy and bulky compared to a tarp.
and @miro_o i think the his seat post rack was just at the limit, but could have been a cheap one not 100% just would hate it to happen to me.
considering maybe making something that clamps to seat post, brake bridge and maybe somewhere else on the rear of the bike to make it stronger/take more weight!
think a bag on my back as well, does a bar bag effect handling much? speed wobble etc?

The plan is to stay on road as much as possible maybe 28s would be ok (have a pair at home = saving cash)
also forgot to put in the there will be 3 of us so we can split the tent up into bits maybe?
also the seat post mounted racks are terrible, friend of mine went from amsterdam to berlin last year with one and it snapped half way!!! don't want that to happen to me.also there is because its europe! and hopefully warm there is talk of maybe just bringing a big tarp and sleeping bags, has anyone done this? i think this may be fun!
Im thinking maybe some sort of homemade/modified rack then as i have the facilities here in college to do a bit of welding.

hi guys,
So after doing a relatively short tour last year, Dublin to London-600km, I'm on the fixed touring buzz this summer as well!
Last summer included no racks or panniers just me, my bike and a bag on my back and worked out pretty well, minus getting lost a lot(no thanks to google maps) and some lovely knock burn(forgot sun cream).This June I'm hoping to fly to barcelona and join the EuroVelo 8 to venice and then hopefully make it up to berlin or close enough that i can hop on a train(but i don't really want to do that).
This time ill be a bit poorer so camping is on the cards which means a rear rack/pannier.
problem is its a track bike with no mounts for a rack.
anyone have a good solution for this?last summer i ran 700x23 tires which resulted in a few punctures and also me shredding through 2 rear tires, so i think this summer may use 28 on the rear as the pannier will be on the back and 25 on the front, anyone think i should go bigger or smaller?
ill be running 49x18 with a brake this time also.has anyone done the EuroVelo8??
any tips would be much appreciated??
also tips about camping in europe, i haven't done it before and Im probably just going to wing it but advice would be much appreciated!thanks
