Thanks. I use bar ends myself. Have used Jones H loop bar on some rides which worked well too. Have considered aero bars attachment with them for this ride just for additional positioning.

Routes / MTB vs long haul trucker Trans America

« on: November 16, 2020, 02:37:45 pm »

Planning on doing Denver to Yorktown VA in 2021 as a hybrid TransAmerica and Non stop USA rails trails and dirt. I am vacillating on the need for a LHT if I just put some 43 mm tires on my MTB. I’ve done half the GDMBR with the MTB and didn’t seem bothered by the asphalt sections and wondering if there is anybody who sees a quantifiable and justifiable advantage to the Surly vs a hard tail mountain bike. Just curious. I pull a BOB and intend to continue that on this trip. Thanks
