US travel insurance
I'm going to the US in May touring for 10 weeks.
Does anyone have any suggestions for an insurer?
Chances are, I won't need it, but you know...

Duct tape!
Looks like carbon from a distance.

Too soon? No way.
I’ve been planning my 2022 trip to the USA for about 3 years!

Re: Carradice rear panniers
The other option I was looking at was the Ortlieb Bike Packer Classic.
They lack the outside pockets and are more expensive. But are available in plain black where silver of the Carradice is a bit over the top IMO.

Carradice rear panniers
I’ve been looking at getting some new panniers.
Does anyone out there have any experiences of the Carradice CarraDry and Super C rears.
I like the classic, plain look of the Supers but the CarraDry look like they’d be easier to look after when on the road. I imagine you can just wipe them down.
I’m doing a 10 week tour next year so need something a bit larger than my current Alturas.

Why can't the bike frame be carbon then?

Mudguard eyes, rack fixings and possibly the extra bottle bosses under the down tube.
And the occasional knocks a touring bike would get.
Carbon fork blades seem to be quite a sturdy affair from my experience but I’m not sure how happy I’d be with a carbon frame sliding down a lamppost within 2 weeks of owning the thing which is what happened to the current Jackson! I used some quality expletives that afternoon I can tell you!

I’m pretty sure that’s what Ultravox used in Vienna.

Re: Frame choices
Anyway, it’ll be having disc brakes where the rotors are attached to the hubs.
I’m just gauging opinion on the merits of steel v aluminium where there’s a reasonable price difference that doesn’t just stop me hitting the button. If the steel would have been under £1k, I’d have done it weeks ago.

Re: Frame choices
Nice pedantry.
I thought you might have meant those things that you pedal backwards to operate.
Other than pads wearing, I can’t see what else could go wrong, and the same happens with rim brakes. Hydraulics and I can see potential pitfalls.

I buy new.

I have ridden a steel bike for s daily for at leat ten years and all that is needed is a regular wash and allow to dry before putting inside.A steel frame will outlast mkost riders who value their bike.Personally I would seek a used frame and refurbish to suit.
And a new bike!
