Excellent info Hyegeek! Thank you!
What tires are you using? Special tubeless or regular tires with conversion kit?

Thanks Indyfabz!
I was thinking of tube plus a tubless repair kit would be sufficient for a problem like you encountered.

I did mine with a regular floor pump. Should not need to mess with seating the bead out on a trip unless it's a major blowout. At that point, could just jam a tube until reaching a rest stop.

Just a few days ago I converted my CX bike to tubeless. I am in love with it. Anybody tried touring with tubeless? My initial thoughts are that it may not be good due to the sealant hardening over time, but I was able to get a good seal without any. Still not sure about the long haul. I guess if needed one could just put in a tube.

I just posted in the RIP Keen string that I use their Newport sandles with MTB low profile platform pedals. Throw in a sock if you need warmth, seal skin sock if you need dry and warmth.

Keen Newport and low profile MTB platform pedals are my favorite combo. The carbide teeth agree with the soles. Does not tear them up at all with tons of grip.

If you are still looking for tires. I have had great luck with continental touring plus on my daily grinder. They were pretty cheap with wire bead and I have almost worn them bald without a single puncture.
Side note, my touring rig runs Schwalbe marathons.

I know, not normally an adventure item. If anyone is interested in converting to a slick internally geared hub, this is your BB! Converts any PF30 to accept a 24mm crankset. New in package because I bought 2 and decided to only use 1. Paid $108 after tax, asking for $75 shipped.

After reading the book and comparing the campground closures for 2013(http://www.nps.gov/blri/parknews/blue-ridge-parkway-releases-2013-season-opening-schedule.htm), I still need a bit of advice. Any reccomendations (or warnings) for places around crabtree meadows campground. It is closed this year. I am going to call over to http://www.wildacres.org/ and see if they can describe the road leading to their campground. If that is no go I am looking at http://www.alpineinnnc.com/. Any guidance is much appreciated.
