I see where there is a 30 mile recommended limit per trip with the Spooky Tooth bikes is that really the really the case? I see pictures of someone touring pulling a trailer.

good question....we are planning a trip this summer from seattle to portland....its really flat and 180 miles...we were gonna pedal and take our time...so after every thirty miles......how long should we wait before firing it up again?

Hell I was planning on trying to get from Kansas to Colorado and I wanted to take the long way... I sure don't want to over exert the engine though

I am going to tell you this; you can run one of these endlessly. The reason for the "30 mile limit" is to say "don't run it wide open all day".

I have run for 50 miles non-stop with no problems.

If you want to ride extreme distances, I'd only suggest you take some basic tools just in case,(chain tension) and vary your speed, don't just run balls to the wall nonstop between fill-ups.

Thats what I was hoping just baby the engine and she'll take ya for many a many miles

I made a 140mile trip from Tucson to Santa Ana Sonora Mexico. I only stopped a few times, but it was for me to rest not the bike. Like bikeguyjoe say's, just dont go all nut's.
