LIGHTWEIGHT BIKEPACKING SET UP

[@bobwightman1054]

Always interesting seeing other people's kit 😁 One tip with things like sleeping bags is not to use their individual stuff bags but just jam everything in, packs a lot better. You do have to separate "wet" and "dry" items, usually easiest to use one end of the bike for each type. There's about 1kg difference between my "racing" setup and my comfy touring setup - mostly it's the sleeping/camping stuff, thick comfy inflatable mat, tent (shared between my wife and I), rather than DCF tarp and bivy bag. There's a definite lower limit to what you can get away with but above that it's mostly a matter of determining your level of (dis)comfort for the weather.

Thanks Mark. I love watching kit videos 😊 This ended up a bit long, but hey!

Such a useful answer comprehensive video. I also run really narrow handlebars and was wondering if I could ever fit a handlebar bag on. Mine are I think 34cm between the hoods. Did you have space to shift?

What year madone is that it's nice.

[@CharlieVanPoppel]

I bought it second-hand in 2014, so think it's probably 2012. Raced and ridden it all over and it's still going strong 💪🏻
