Hello,
I'm new to this forum and have a question about touring bikes. I have purchased a Litespeed Blue Ridge frame and I am wavering between a triple road group and a mountian group. My thinking is I may be more comfy in an upright riding position with flat bars. I don't believe I would need anything taller than 11x44.
Second, I sort of settled on Mavic T520 rims but I wanted 36 spoke and neither Chris King or Hugi make a 130 cm 36 hole hub. Any suggestions?
Third, What do you think of the Conti 700x28 gator skins as opposed to Conti top touring?
