That's useful feedback everyone. I actually just sold my previous (even wider) set up, and was looking at waybacks et al for touring, but immediately realised I would only want to buy another more downhill oriented set-up.
I'm think of dropping from 180+cm to the 174, which should minimise the risk of me falling over like an idiot during kick turns.
Incidentally, does anyone know if there is a difference between the 2012/13 and 1013/14 Coombacks, apart from the fancy decals?
@nickinscottishmountains – yeah, we’ll be staying in winter rooms, and given what I have heard about the conditions, I’m guessing we’ll have to be fairly realistic about the itinerary.
Cheers
