I like your videos! The tip for the drone controller in a garmin mount was really helpful. I haven't seen that before and it's an issue I've experienced myself. Wish you a lovely summer!
Good video interesting setup .. good to see good gear list … ..tip get good seat you won’t ever need chaff cream …. Tip bottle on bottom frame if you really want to carry water there use gravel bottle… But ii would carry the Mimo cook System there .. tip add first aid kit … look forward to you next gear list
@@TwistedWheels I have a good seat I don’t need chaff cream or padded shorts just idea check it out it called infinitybikeseat.com design by a doctor .. I ride weeks at a time with it from day one no padding no chaff cream no pain …. Check out my core Bikepacking setup you might get some ideas for next trip ua-cam.com/video/Zm4HSKGfke4/v-deo.html
What do you eat for your main meals? Do you pack food to cook or make stop to buy pre-made meals? I imagine you’d need a lot of food and it would be hard to pack it all
We took some food with us, like tea, coffee, porridge, dried ravioli, instant noodles, so in case there are no shops on the way, we can still survive :) We did stop at the supermarket in the end of each day to buy some more food.
I'm tempted to grab the base level topstone with the intention to slowly upgrade it bit by bit, the only thing stopping me currently is it having a press fit BB, hopefully they go pressfit on the 2023 model, currently rocking a Triban RC500 but parts availability (headset bearings are the latest) is tempting me to switch
Hi, great video thanks! What and/or where did you get your gps mount? This looks like an ideal way to get my Garmin higher up so I can fit more on the front
Thank you for the video! does the 4.5l framebag look big for this frame, or did you just not fill it to the end and it's half empty? ps. give a link to your backpack from Ali please
4.5l is the right size. I don’t have the link to Ali (as I bought it several years ago), but I’m pretty sure you can easily find it by searching ultralight backpack or something similar.

Thanks Kris! Glad that you found it useful :)
Your drone setup and GoPro mouth mount was very clever. Bike packing setup was informative and useful. Thank you. New subscriber.
I like your bikepacking setup. I have the same Apidura setup. I'm starting C&O Canal Trail ride this coming Wednesday and this setup is best. 👍
Good hack the garmin mount on the DJI controller!!!
very serious review! like it!
Great informative vid. I made a bracket to support the bar bag. I run my bars low and used to struggle with tyre rub. ATB mate
Thanks Jamie. Bracket is a good option for lower handlebars 👍🏼
Very nice, just got a topstone3 today, I learnt from your other vidoes the bike so versatile and can be light weight (sub 9kg)
Great. It’s actually can be less than 8 kg ;)
Excellent video. Nothing to do add on. 👍
Thanks, Danail 👊🏼

Thanks 👊🏼 I have a good seat, but I would still use chamois on multiday rides. Thanks for the tip with cooking system

Cool video ! Head light, THE thing to have when not at home ! Will you make a video from the trip with the drone recording ?
Thanks. Yes, I’m planning to

Do the saddle bag move back and forth while you are riding down the road?
Nice Video helped me a lot.
What size has the Handlebar Bag?
Thanks a lot
Both are the largest available. I believe, 14L and 17L
@@TwistedWheels thanks a lot =)
Great video!
Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why you prefer aluminium frame for your bikepacking trips?
Thanks mate. That’s because my carbon frame is for cyclocross and doesn’t have all the mounts I need. Plus it’s too nice :)
@@TwistedWheels Makes sense, thanks for the reply ;)
HI, what size is the frame? i hava a topstone 1 in size S - i want to know if the 3l frame bag fits. thx.
Medium and I have 4.5L bag

The whole industry is moving to threaded bottom brackets. Why do you want a pressfit? Can’t see any benefits
Out of curiosity what tire your running on your Cannondale?
Love your setup, bike, bags! Hope next season ill get the same setup! ;)
Keep pushing!
Thanks mate. I’m using Conti Terra Speed 40mm tyres
Hi, great video thanks! What and/or where did you get your gps mount? This looks like an ideal way to get my Garmin higher up so I can fit more on the front
This is a generic Chinese stem garmin mount. Think I bought it on Ebay awhile back
@@TwistedWheels thank you, I’ll have a look✌🏼

@@TwistedWheels thanks, you were right, the 4.5 liter bag fit perfectly! please tell me how many liters your bottles are inside the frame ?
@@vadlme 590 and 600 ml
@@TwistedWheels are you sure? Not 450ml fidlock & 600ml fabric?
@@vadlme ah, yes sorry. I have 590ml fidlock too which I normally use, but it doesn’t fit with the bag on Topstone.
What size of bike frame?
I am looking for bikepacking bags for my Topstone in S size.
Medium
Hi! Is this the Carbon version of the bike?
Hi, it’s aluminium
That’s a lot of gear.......
I know!.. But sometimes you can share some of the items with your mates, like the stove, food and bike tools.
