Stronglight A9 alloy or steel?

[Jameslejog]

Hi
Brian didn't know your into touring as well as sailing!!!
I would have thought steel would be by far the more reliable.
Will ask dad about LBS as he is accross the forest in verwood, but is more lycra orientated than CTC despite being 72!!!!
Hope to do endto end this summer.
Boat (16ft skiff) has 4" of snow on it up here in yorkshire
How has raid 41 turned out?

This may be too late, but don't cut the steerer at all - just add an alloy washer, almost weightless, easy, and you may, one day, need that bit of steerer.

Wise words indeed.

531colin, thanks for that tip. Have not gone ahead yet, ( not a bad pun?).

Youre right, not bad. It was awful. That's a compliment, by the way. Puns are meant to be awful, aren't they.
