It is very good idea to test your load and rack setup all together. You really want to get a feel for how the bike handles loaded up, and give all the parts a chance to fall off. If the tour involves dirt or unpaved roads you really want to try that with the bike loaded with the tires you intend using.
Some bikes/setups are very good loaded, some aren't, best to know before the trip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
