This bike went cross country mostly on the northern tier route. I lost the bags and racks and got a bob trailer and packed on around 30 lbs of gear. It was completely worry free, I micro adjusted my rear derailuar a total of half a turn and had 5 flats and trued my wheels maybe twice each and again about a half turn on one spoke nipple. oh and I had to put a touch of grease on the spindle of the non drive side of my bb to get it from making that ticking sound. It raced a alley cat in fargo and did untold miles of gravel roads, single tracks and just horrible beat up pavement.
