Gear Talk / STI and handlebar bags

« on: January 21, 2004, 10:24:41 pm »

The noodles work well in diverting your cables to allow for a handlebar bag - I used to use that setup.

STI does fail  - and without warning - it happened to me on my cross Canada trip.

If you want the convience of STI on a touring bike, then at least carry a downtube/barcon shifter to adapt in an emergency.

Check out my experiences with STI on a tour...

There's also a photo of the noodle set-up on the same page.

Routes / Vancouver, BC to Creston,BC

I have a couple of trip reports of that ride/area and also other routes out of Vancouver that are better than Highway 7.

Sift through my website, especially the Cross Canada trip, and 8 summits trip.
Routes are on the information pages.

Highway 3 is spectacular to ride!!!

There is a trip report of my ride in that area a couple of years ago.
