I don't think it helps that I decided to try to upgrade the Surly to some brifters, so it's up on the stand half-assembled right now. It's got the fenders. That guaranteed that we'd get our first rain in the past couple of months, and that's just washing all sorts of nasty shit into the roadways. That and the Surly has those bomb-proof commuting tires on it, the Roubaix has some Mavic Yksion tiny-thin-slick-punctured-by- I didn't even check the flat tonight, it happened close to home, so I just rolled up, put the bike away, and will look at it in the morning. I am kicking myself for not buying a replacement tube on the way home like I was considering, though...
At any rate, all I'm really doing is bitching, as it took my wife over an hour to drive home tonight, and I still made it home in about half an hour, like I always do.
For the Surly, Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HS 382. Best touring tire. Zero flats so far.
How much does it weigh, fully loaded? bags and rider, I mean.
acket.
For my Surly, the most load it's seen is probably somewhere around 260 lbs. When it flatted, it was loaded significantly less. My Roubaix is flatting when someone looks at it with a piercing stare.
Until all cyclists learn to obey the law ... Oh, wait, drivers break the law too?

That Suteki looks lovely. As does the Bruzza. Great taste, Cam.
