So you are talking about 10-12% extra weight. Lets pretend a bicyclist weighs 200 pounds. It would be nothing for him to put on a 20 pound weight vest and go riding. Just 10%. Ahem. I said I was on tour. The bike, a Bridgestone RB-2 with RX-100, may have weighed only 21 Lbs according to weight weenies, but the trailer must've weighed 70. |

Don't see the point of carrying the extra weight. Where I ride its rarely more than 10 miles between towns where its easy to get water or drinks. Why carry extra weight for nothing? Maybe all the pros like you ride in the middle of nowhere and its 100 miles between water. All our parks departments have a fetish for turning off water fountains. When I checked to see whether the only remaining fountain at the CCAC had been turned off for the winter, I found a bare pipe sticking up out of the ground -- both the fountain and the faucet under it had been removed. I confidently rode to Pierceton with only enough water for one way, only to find that the only water fountain in town was out of order. When I asked, I was told that it had been turned off for the winter the previous fall, and nobody had seen fit to turn it on in the spring. Fortunately, I'd come to attend a festival, and was able to buy a bottle of water from the Lions. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ goo.gl/jjfjkh goo.gl/bYmcsi hard finding road water coming down toward Utah. Lotta sun no outside water. Dry,always disappointing. Love those pipe latch lever rigs. Too thick to drink... too thin to plow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n-Kk36Im48 |

https://www.bing.com/search?q=giardi...4813ED68636AC6 I have an MSR pour thru into the MSR bag system. No pump. with a Steri Adventure. Fill upper bag, water runs thru gravity filter ( "OK NOW BRING THE TREE OVER HERE") into lower storage bag. MIRACLE ! So the first use was below a MX fluoride mine's debris field. I was print warned but the day long paddle into evening below a colossal wow wow bread loaf cliff at Black Eddy severed that brain area. |
