Gear Talk / semi slicks on the great divide???

Is it worth carrying semi-slick tires for those long stretches of road and
dirt back roads?
thanks

Gear Talk / disc brakes

« on: June 05, 2005, 05:02:36 pm »

I'm thinking of taking my full suspension with disc brakes on the great
divide. Will disc brakes withstand those steep downhills, with a bob
trailer attached as well? What have people experienced or heard about.
Thank-you
Lisa

Gear Talk / Nashbar waterproof panniers?

Thanks for the warning. I imagine there are so few things that can be
relied on with the great divide. Might as well get the gear somewhat
fullproof!

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like a great ride-wish I was doing it tomorrow. A month and a half is my time off of work that I know of so far-it sounds very doable.

I want to ride the great divide trail in a month and a half next year-about averaging 60 miles a day. For those who have completed it N-S what would this speed be like? Would I be able to appreciate the country side at all?
thanks

solo? I'm thinking of it and just would like to hear other experiences
from men or women.

I'll be flying from New Jersey to Montana to do the great divide MBT
and would like input of what will be confiscated in the airport. Knife is
one I'm assuming? Any other gear I should worry about?

I need a partner to ride the great divide route from montana to new mexico. I prefer a woman and someone who can tolerate long days of mountain biking and camping. We would be leaving the end of june next year beginning of july and probably ending sometime in the end of september. Email me if you are interested
