. Wolfe have you considered slower burning energy?
Porage oats are always in the bags if you're cooking outdoor. Essential. Dried fruit & nuts in jersey pockets for on the road.
Yes, I suppose I go for slow burning for dinner to set yourself up for a long day but then for an on bike snack the fastest burning possible for some instant energy, Haribo also doesn't melt which is useful, also you can share with your touring pals if you are feeling kind.

My tried and tested touring diet (France edition):
Breakfast:
Pain au Chocolat
Brownie's
Flan
One Coca ColaSnacks:
Twix's
HariboLunch:
Baguette
Sliced Mountain Sausage (buy the whole sausage and slice yourself)
BrieDinner: (no equipment, too much hassle)
Whatever the Combo meal is wherever you stop, ie the cheap starter, main and drink.
Worth buying an extra baguette in case you can't find a restaurant where you are camping (everything in France seems to be closed)For Italy replace the evening meal with a dinner of brushcetta, then pizza then pasta, and the lunch for whatever sandwich you can force a Italian bar owner to make you.

Oman cheers for the reply.
I think I may attempt to put a spacer, (like this)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-SPACER-KIT-for-Screw-on-FIXED-TRACK-COG-Freewheel-/300477799713
between the cog and the hub. Whether there is enough space for 4mm remains to be seen, I don't have one to check on.
Looks like it could work though

I'm doing my my first fixed build and I'm trying to avoid a chainline error.
If you can help, your advice is appreciated.What I have:
Steel frame
BB: 68mm shell english thread
With Shimano double 113mm spindle length BB (already installed)
Rear dropout spacing 126mm
An SR Royal double crankset (outer ring chain line 46mm (I think - am I wrong?))
Need to buy: Rear wheelI would like to use the chain line on the outer ring for aesthetic purposes therefore I think would want a 46mm chainline for the rear wheel. (or am I wrong)
What is the best way to achieve this? I would like you buy a wheel and don't want to have to redish anything. My knowledge of fixed rear wheels is bad.
Ie is this possible
Buy a 120mm wide rear wheel (this is standard right?) Which would have a 42mm chainline. Add 4mm of spacers each side and on the drive side have the cog 4mm over? (what do I buy). Giving the rear wheel a 128mm width which should fit in the 126mm dropouts, and keep the wheel centred?If you bothered to read that thanks!
