wanted; panniers and other touring bits

techieelectric

Anyone got any panniers and/or heavy duty racks they're willing to part with? Steel racks and ortlieb panniers by preference but I'm open to other stuff. Just trying to sort out what I can get second hand before going and ordering stuff from the UK. Other bits that're a long shot are hubs, mtb front ones with 36h, longer shot is 40plus hole rear hubs, I'm building myself a new touring wheelset as you may gather.

Thanks

Wouldnt a good alu rack be better? Less weight and less flex too?
The only 40+ hole hubs I know are 48h track hubs, but they could easily be converted to be road spaced screw on type.
I think 36 with good DT swiss champion spokes should be fine really.
I find those spokes great even under my weight

Oops, meant to post this in the adverts section, to be moved..

I'm going for steel racks for the welding issue, can be fixed by anyone cos I'm planning a tour far far away. Same reasons for the 40 spoke wheels, I'm going for these ones: http://spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s117p1517 if I don't get any in the next while, plus Rigida sputnik rims for ultimate bombproofness. The only steel racks seem to be incredibly expensive is the problem, 100 quid plus so yeah I might have to go for alu ones in the end.

did you find a frame?

Yep, a surly too, it's nice and all but the colour is rotten, it's beige, going to have to put loads of stickers on it. Should have it next week some time.

Sounds good, is it the Long Haul Trucker by any chance? the one over the toilet for ages was dead sexy

this should be fairly robust, Union was an English brand and Im fairly sure this was made there

Yeah it is the Long Haul Trucker, truckachino is the name of the colour.
