My Expedition Bikepacking Setup (Detailed Walkthrough)

Hi friends! In this video, I run through a detailed packing list and talk about my new budget off-road bikepacking setup that's capable of a world tour, or a weekend ride.
This is my second version of a similar hybrid setup that combines aspects of bikepacking but with the rear rack common in traditional touring. This gives me more capacity and convenience than a typical bikepacking setup, but it's still lighter and more capable off-road. Adding small rear panniers would be easy and a good way to add capacity if needed, though as-is I have around 80L of capacity
~Since filming Ive found a matching set of 29" wheels, tubeless tires, and On-One H bars~

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@1Smendrik]

Hello Avery, great video. I love the way you improvise and your minimalistic approach. How long are your adventures with such a set up. I must admit to lol when you mentioned sun panel and Scotland in the same sentence. BTW we met in the Napa Valley in September at a WS. Any plans to ride on the continent?

[@AveryCaudill]

Hey! Hope you've been well! Thanks and this was shot at the end of the GD divide, after 5 weeks riding and in preparation for mainland Europe this summer! Funny enough scotland was the only time I had real sun in the whole UK

[@bigpimpinbig1]

Cool video and nice setup. Do you protect the frame from the straps of the bags?

[@bigpimpinbig1]

Smart move to leave the laptop btw. Not worth it!

[@AveryCaudill]

@@bigpimpinbig1 Thank you! I dont, but only because its an old frame with a few scratches already haha

[@RGfreedart]

Nice setup ! Would you tell me the name of those giant feed bag ? 😅 Take care ❤

[@AveryCaudill]

Thanks! amzn.to/3UxyVpg

[@iamlewiblake]

love the setup. what brand are the two stem bags (the feed and camera bag)

[@AveryCaudill]

Thanks Lewi! Not sure actually, the feed bag is a 2.5l from Amazon, it was 20£ I think, and the camera bag I found at a charity shop haha

[@AveryCaudill]

Found the bag- amzn.to/3UxyVpg

[@AveryCaudill]
