Hey guys,I'm starting up a series on my site with a cyclist in the UK for training and racing
tips. We're looking to generate questions related to road or track racing and training for
Danny to answer...

Can you posts up some pics to explain what's going on? You don't need to buy a new bike for an
issue with skewers.
Posted in thread: Cyclocross for Touring?? on 01-14-2013 at 04:55 PM
Cross bikes make excellent touring bikes. They have the frame and brake clearance to run
fenders, can support a wide range of tires and usually have plenty of eyelets to attach things
to.

I would suggest putting in a rest day once a week. Not sure what your plan is for the weekends,
though.

You can find used kid trailers for free/cheap if the fabric is damaged. Look around on Craigslist (where I get most of mine) and in 2nd hand stores. They will mark them down or even throw them away if there is damage, maybe even
just a tear or missing top. You can use u-bolts (plumbing pipe hangers) to mount a couple 2 x 4s to a bare frame, to support plastic totes. Then you can adjust the gap between them also, if you have boxes with "stepped"
shapes.

Also, you can cut lengths of 2x4 to fit inside and outside plastic totes, and screw them together, to make "steps" that will sit on the frame edges or support boards.

If you make it so that the support boards "hang" under the trailer frame by the u-bolts, (use the foot bar/brush guard in the front), the boxes/totes can easily sit on there with the frame rails being a "bed that
keeps the boxes put even when stopping pretty hard.
