Oh dear - very disapppointing
I might be well out of order - but are we a group that is going to allow advertising access to this site for nothing more than promoting a company's commercial interests. Perhaps something more along the lines of an overall sponsorship of adelaide c…
Tent looks good - happy with it? if so, what brand
Two terrific movies, some very scary traffic/bike scenes but most importantly some positive solutions - all pollies please note
Max 24, mainly fine - perfect
Do you think there is a slim possibility that the accident might have actually been an 'accident'. I am not sure that we do ourselves any favours as cyclists by being constantly negative and always the victim. If we realise that the explosion of bik…
Where have you been touring, what is your next adventuring going to be. Talk about gear, planning and more!
The Inaugural Bianca King Pursuit of Pancakes aka City to Sea (and back again!) at River Bank, Elder Park
March 7, 2010 from 9am to 12pm
In response to a number of requests, time to go for a coffee run along the Linear Park/Coast Park! My thought is meet at Elder Park, roll out along the Linear Park to Henley Beach, then along Coast Park to the West Beach Surflifesaving Club for a co…

I am sure the bride will love her new Cannondale which happens to fit you
Looks v.nice indeed. Can you give us an idea of the equipment you have used ?
Mike,
I've got a Long Haul Trucker with Alex Adventurer rims running 700 x 35 Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. Assuming you have the standard Alex DA16 rims on your Cross Check your rims are 2mm narrower than mine. I see no reason why 35mm tyres would no…
Hi Mike
I am running Schwalbe Marathons 700 x 35 (kevlar belted) on Araya 700 PX-45 rims on my Avanti touring bike.
While not identical to the Surlys set-up by any means, these are excellent wheels with a really good tyre on them. Hard wearing, no f…
I have a Surly Cross Check which comes out of the box with a 700 x 32 tyre. Whilst it is a reasonable tyre I am looking to upgrade to a Schwalbe tyre which I have only been able to find in 35mm. The LBS sales guy said it would be fine on the rim but…
I jumped on it briefly heading out from Woodside towards Oakbank.. Bikeway was very rough on the roadie, full of curves (with nice fences and little bridges), dodged some horse poo and came across lots of give way signs for driveways and roads. Ende…

Tyre Size
I have a Surly Cross Check which comes out of the box with a 700 x 32 tyre. Whilst it is a reasonable tyre I am looking to upgrade to a Schwalbe tyre which I have only been able to find in 35mm. The LBS sales guy said it would be fine on the rim but I would like to have some confirmation of that as they are certainly not cheap.
I would appreciate the advice from those in the group
