General Discussion / new 26" wheels for surly LHT

« on: August 03, 2010, 05:48:46 pm »

i'm looking to buy a new wheel set for my long haul trucker. i recently road the pacific coast route on the stock deore wheel set, and carrying about 40lbs of gear, my wheels went out of true some 5 times - so i'm looking for a better set of wheels. am open to all suggestions...

thanks,

Routes / camping on the pacific coast route

« on: August 28, 2009, 05:13:01 pm »

my friend and i are setting out on ACA's pacific coast route on sept 13th.  i was wondering if anyone can give some general advice on camping and the legality of camping.  we plan to stay with friends and along the 'warm showers network' when our route coincides, but otherwise we will be pitching our twoperson tent.  i assume it's illegal simply to pitch a tent anywhere, but can anyone recommend ways to camp for free, i.e. w/out paying the absurd pitching fees at most campsite.

any and all camping advice is welcome. 

thanks so much, 
dan braun
