http://ww...Hi Phil,<br /><br />Thanks. I used this rack bag: <br />http://www.gillesberthoud.fr/_en/boutique/fiche.php?CodeArticle=312RLAT<br />and this decaleur:<br />http://www.gillesberthoud.fr/_en/boutique/fiche.php?CodeArticle=311DEAA.<br /><br />The mounting was a bit of an issue because originally I used the rack intended for cantilever brakes, which had a tab which screwed into the rack mount in my fork crown. I didn't like how it sat, so I ended up buying the piece which suited caliper brakes and I am much happier with the fit. From memory it involved me installing a slightly longer brake bolt.<br /><br />The handlebar bag is the GB2286. I've been very happy with it but I ended up replacing the liner with something stiffer. I think if I were to ever replace the handlebar bag, I would go for one without the side pockets, because I seldom use them and they can get in the way if filled.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />David.<br /><br />http://www.gillesberthoud.fr/_en/boutique/fiche.php?CodeArticle=321GB2286<br />David Killickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781752978497832434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-41143018178541463952017-02-03T08:55:24.667+11:002017-02-03T08:55:24.667+11:00Hi David,

Also, how did you get around mounting the rack with calliper brakes? Many thanks.<br /><br />PhilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224506096020379627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-21904014235417927612012-12-19T04:16:22.703+11:002012-12-19T04:16:22.703+11:00Hi David

I'm getting a frameset soon to build up for myself.<br /><br />I asked thorn about the pump-I couldn't find the standard HPX any more either, they said the Zefal HPX classic, that is listed on their website (in size 1) is made to fit the pump peg. It has the little holes in it for the peg, as well as being "frame fit" with the grooves. Hope this helps :-)<br /><br />AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-70426637333176811052012-09-07T22:49:03.678+10:002012-09-07T22:49:03.678+10:00I have a Thorn Audax as well and glad to have foun...I have a Thorn Audax as well and glad to have found your blog. <br /><br />You've got an interesting set-up there with that dynamo and front rack but it looks like it works very well.<br /><br />Here's my 1000 mile review...<br /><br />http://ramblingsofdoug.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/thorn-audax-mk3-our-first-1000-miles.htmlDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583913340698923948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-57203212227109039012011-12-14T23:13:59.487+11:002011-12-14T23:13:59.487+11:00Not plastic enough to ride in the Mardi Gras then?...Not plastic enough to ride in the Mardi Gras then?David Killickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781752978497832434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-35778589364525004992011-12-14T18:54:02.821+11:002011-12-14T18:54:02.821+11:00Nice bike Miss Marple.Nice bike Miss Marple.Stevenoreply@blogger.com
