Just came back from a visit to New England which included 5 days
biking in Vermont on my new to me Sam.
Beautiful part of the world this time of year.
The hills were a bit much for this flatlander, especially self
supported, but managed to have a really good time anyway.

I use a rolled up knit carpet for yoga.
Feels (and smells) a lot nicer than then the synthetic ones and fits
great in my Carradice saddle bag.
Have to try straping it directly to the bagman support as suggested
above.

I've now got the stem raised about an inch over the saddle to
compensate, but it feels too high for me and my right pinkie is still
numb.

Not life threatening but certainly an annoyance.
Rear D is also new, long cage Shimano, nothing special but seems to
work fine otherwise.
Chain tension and chain line seem OK.
Ideas, anyone?

One thing that has worked for me is to pack my tent poles separately
from the rest of the tent. The tent can go in a pannier or saddle bag
and the poles get lashed to whatever.

Another data point here.
I've got a 56 cm Sam and a PBH ~86.
I wouldn't mind a bit more clearance.
If I were an 84 I'd want to try the 54.

farther away. change in stem height. With my current stem this is too
far.
So -
1. Do I want 8 cm or 9?
2. Does anyone have one they want to get rid off?
3. Does anyone want to buy the 10 cm, with 500 miles and a few
scratches on it?

I've used those Contis in 559-47. Didn't much care for it. Too many
flats and didn't roll well.
I liked the 32-559 Sport Contact though.
