Giant ToughRoad SLR 2 - Touring setup and Mudguards
Hello folks,
I'm about to take ownership of a Giant ToughRoad SLR 2 and looking to kit it out as a commuter and weekend touring bike.
Firstly, I wanted to know if other owners had successfully fitted full coverage mudguards that can fit over the stock 50mm tires? If so which brand did you purchase. I'm also curious if others have attempted loaded touring on this bike? I've heard concerns about the strength of the wheels.
As a bit of background, I've toured for the last 10 years on steel road bikes, so the ToughRoad is an attempt at mixing things up and hopefully expanding my tours into off road territory.
