I was surprised at the amount of kit you managed to pack. You were like a magician pulling a never ending stream of objects from a hat. I was thinking I may need a trailer for bikepacking but that has surprised me considering the number of individual bags. I think you have knife loss anxiety though, how many knives? I have similar binoculars in my backpack and don't get them out often but they are great when you want them to observe wildlife. Look forward to following you on the adventure.

Great setup for extended adventures! What if you put the cup at the bottom of your feed bag to keep it out of the way? If it doesn't fit, then replace it with a cup without a handle. Get rid of the Binos and one of your knives. Your GoPro and Cell phone are capturing awesome images already. Your Multi-tool is already a great piece of gear. Add 1 brightly colored Bandana & a few spare spare Spokes could be stored along the chain stay.....

Curious why so few bike packers run aero bars fixed out front, gives you a nice comfortable change of position and you can hang vast amounts of stuff off them.
@futsalkeegan6 жыл бұрын
Most bikepackers ride off road, and aero bars are extra weight with little benefit. Plus, Tri Bars and a very heavy front lead to little steering ability and leads to a decrease in safety.
@myfrequencies19125 жыл бұрын
I bikepack with aeros & they are indispensable. It's a minor weight penalty for a massive boost to long distance comfort. Somewhere to mount gps & front light clear of the handle bar bag. & probably goes some way to cancelling out the terrible aerodynamics of a bikepacking rig.

What??? Have you considered off road biking and very technical routes? Bikepacking gear allows for everything to stay close and in line with the bike and doesn't leave room for luxuries so you can handle everything better and faster.

Riding a MTB so far when you could be using a 'adventure' bike like a Vaya is just as bad as the aerodynamic losses. Go with the adventure bike and panniers, set of 32mm tubeless Teravail Rampart tires for the easier stuff, set of teravail cannonball 38's for the rough. Use all front pannier bags on the front and rear so the bags themselves don't weight much. Everything far more organized and life is easy. I ride like this and go nearly everywhere, but I run a rohloff hub and co--motion shifter so the gearing goes as low as a MTB and nearly as high as a road bike both. Just rode in South Australia for 29 days through brutal winds a few months back and wasn't a problem. Riding all that distance on a MTB would've lol.
