Thanks for the warning, the Gunnar will have V-brakes rather than the cantilevers on my LHT - guess I will know a lot more about brakes before long! Hopefully no hard lessons in this department

I am thinking I should get a better multi-tool for the mountain bike. At the clinic there will be "campfire clinics" on the Sat. evening to address things such as fixing broken chains, tire changing, and other topics.
