Hi Everybody! Bicycle bags are an important staple among adventure cyclists. I have broken down my “all around” bike packing system into, hopefully, easily digestible chunks. Let me know what you think and I am curious if you have suggestions to make this setup even better? Thanks for watching and have a great day, E&M

One thing I find very useful is a large water bag. I usually travel with a 6L MSR Dromedary bag. The benefit compared to a bottle is that it doesn't take up any space when it's empty, and when it's not it just takes as much space as there is water in it. Also, MSR make a few useful accessories to it, like a water purifier that pumps water right into the bag, and a shower kit so you can use the water in it to take a shower. And if I ever need to cross a desert, MSR also makes a 10 liter bag!

If you're cheap like me an empty 4 liter bag from boxed wine works ok for carrying water- tougher than you think. Can also use it as a blow up pillow. Of course they make an 8 liter one too. And it's fun emptying them in the first place.

My 6L MSR Dromedary lives on top of the Tubus Cargo rear rack, between the Ortlieb panniers and under the 30L dry bag. Ideal placement for it as this is a dead-space otherwise. It is just the right width for this place; the 10L is a bit too wide. On less remote tours I carry my spare pair of shoes/Keen sandals in that spot.

Nice clean set up. Thanks for sharing your new triangle pack. I believe in using what works for the type of journey planned. Some of my gear goes back 50 years and been all over Canada and the States. A few years back I moved my handlebar bag off the handlebars and placed it to the top of the front rack, to lower the center of gravity and allow room for two water bottles mounted to the handlebars. I made a quick release system that allows me to face the handlebar bag forward or backward. and it carries the items I will need for the day. the removeable carry strap allows me to load it with food at a grocery/quickly on my way. I have replaced my bright orange duffle on top the back rack for two dry bags. they become my washing machine on a rest day. Everything carried in the panniers is in a color-coded stuff sack or a zippered cubes of different colors sizes and shapes. Everything has a home to make finding it simple.

@WheelstoWander

That sounds like a great system build by experience! Love the washing machine idea and that some of your gear is 50 years old. Thanks for sharing and many more marvellous miles!!

I would also give some hints: 1. while buying the waterbottle handlebar puches - LOOK FOR THE ONES with holes at the bottom. Because on an accidental rain downpour water will stay there 2. I would suggest avoiding big duffle bags if you're not going for a long trip. I mean after few months on the road I just sent it back home (it came out that I don't need so much space and gear at all). Cheers

I love my Ortlieb bags - the Bikepacker/Sportpacker cap-lid bags, the Ultimate Six 8.5L, handlebar bag, and the 25 year old Ortlieb 30L dry bag on the rear rack. Framebags have no attraction for me for two reasons: 1. With my narrow knee gait I would be hitting them every pedal revolution, and 2. They would remove the placing of my frame-mounted bidons. When I need extra load-space I tour with an Extrawheel 26" single-wheel trailer.

After watching the video a second time. I understand the advantage of centering the weight on the bike to improve stability. My concern with a triangle bag is how does it affect control of the bike in a powerful cross wind that can push the bike sideways into traffic or off the road. Strong cross winds are always a concern when biking as well as for semitrucks crossing the open prairie of Canada and the USA.

@WheelstoWander

Жыл бұрын

That is a good question. We had some really strong winds and I didn't had any problems with being blown off course. That said traffic was sparse and possibly with frequent big trucks I would reassess the situation and perceived minor wind influence would become more serious as danger by traffic increases.

Hi Eric, I noticed you lowered the Ortlieb Ultimate handlebar bag with another mount - is it the “klickfix handlebar adapter system” that you attach to the stem? Looks interesting because I like my handlebar bag but find it a bit clumsy high on the handlebar as it’s usually attached. How do you like it lower?

@WheelstoWander

11 ай бұрын

Yes, it is the KlickFix system! Having the bag lower is really nice while riding, not having it "block" a bit of the view so to speak. A bit harder to get into and to get free of the cables. I put in new (longer) cables just for that. I bit of a puzzle 😉 But it's better this way for me!

Thank you so much for such detailed advice on cycling equipment. Very strange, but why doesn't the manufacturer of the in-frame bag make a special visor bar over the snake so that rain water does not get there? This is easy to do and water will not get inside.

Check out some clear tape called "helicopter tape", formerly developed to protect the leading edge of helicopter rotors against chips. They come in different width, stick very well, and are (almost :-) bullet-proof. The tape pretty much disappears when applied. Very useful to protect the frame under straps, the chainstay against chain slap, the bottom of the diagonal tube against rock chips, and at rubbing points where hoses/cable housing rub against the paint.

Haha. A comedian has entered the chat. 😊

IM guessing for a couple this is necessary, you are taking comfort seriously.. It really depends on what you can or cannot do without.. I am a bit more minimalistic. but nice ride bro ~

A videogame 😂 Thanks!

Bike packing means different things to different people but I can't imagine myself needing all those bags even in the name of "functionality". The bike must weigh a ton even before you begin filling the bags. I don't think my legs could take it. This may not be on your radar but I think you could get away with half the stuff, even on the remote tours you guys do.
