I too ride with the Brooks B67 saddle & also have that front stabilizer. My drivetrain is similar to yours. 44/33/22 with 11-42 rear. I agree about Schwalbe. I run the 29x2.15 Almotion tubeless. No flats in 5 years. I also have upright bars(Jones 2½" H-bar). Nice rig.
The Surly Long Haul trucker seems to be the de facto standard for long distance cycling. The butterfly bars seem like a really good idea. I wonder if the newer Disc Trucker is as good. Lots of good information.
Thank-you. I am considering getting a another trike with power assist for my next touring bike. I have toured on both the Surly and the HP Scorpion. The surly is faster and more nimble but the scorpion in more comfortable, and it is much easier to do long days on the bike and can carry more I discussed the difference in my Trike vs Bike video.
If you're looking for carriers for nalgenes sized bottles, check out Velo Orange Mojave bottle cages. They're SS, so a bit heavier but I've been using them for 5 years & they hold nalgenes snuggly.

I'm happy to hear you say Walcrap. If people knew the truth, Walmart would go out of business
Thanks

Thank you for sharing your insight . Nice rig . Where did you source the extra capacity water bottle carrier ?
Bought it a bicycle shop about 7 years ago in west Broadway Vancouver but they have long since closed.
