Hi there hubbers Me and a friend will be setting off on a bike tour on the 26th of December. I would like to know from you a few do's and dont's if possible. Like do you do it with rigid bikes or hardtails(probably depend on terrain covered).we will be doing mostly open tar and farm roads... which panniers do we use?are we allowed to ride on national roads?like the n2? And then I'd like to know if anyone has some cheap bike parts for sale or to spare,starting to put together a bike for another trip later... Thanks
