BikePacking Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 бер 2024
- A Quick look at my BikePacking setup or should it be Bike Touring , which I have found works for me. I prefer the pannier way as find them easier to use than trying the lighter route of a saddle bag trying to cram everything in.
My motto is “Pack for comfort not lightness”
You don’t need to spend a fortune , any bike can be used with a few additions.
I have been wild camping for years so most of that gear works on my BikePacking trips. But what works for me may not work for you, it’s a trial and error process.
I forgot to mention that I also carry spare tubes, water filter, tools , hex keys etc etc

Very cool the charging setup ..never seen that before thanks
Your welcome 👍🏻
I started of using bike packing bags. There was never enough room in them. So I used a alpkit rucksack for the extra kit. But then I kept getting shoulder pain. And getting a lot of sweat on my back. So I started using four panniers and I have find it a lot more enjoyable to ride the bike like that.
Same here James , I still have bike packing bags but yeah it’s trying to cram everything in 😂 maybe not the lightest option with panniers but far easier. I do carry a small osprey rucksack that folds into nothing for when we visit the shops at the end of the day for essentials 🍺👍
Ta! Helpful Vid 😊
Thanks 👍
Very informative video, thank you, which make and model is your rear rack? Very interested to know, cheers,
Thank you , not sure on the rear rack I’ve had it for year ? Possibly a bontrager one with adjustment at the lower points and at the sides . Atb Dave 🚲👍
Great setup and ready to go mate, the cockpit additions look spot on⛺️🚲👍🏻
Cheers Ian , ready for the new seasons trips 🚲⛺️👍
All bases covered there Dave. Great set up. 👍

You should , just been out on mine and its a cold wind still.brrrr
Get it out!
Nice setup Dave , I didn’t know you’d another channel I’ve pressed the bell an all that malarkey
Thanks , I set this up in lockdown to keep it seperate from my hiking channel , appreciate the sub atb Dave ⛺️🚲👍
Great set-up Dave, perfect for the miles you put in and we'll thought out due to experience.
My set-up looks like I'm heading to a car boot sale 🙄

Nice setup
Thanks 🚲⛺️👍
sure there's room for the kitchen sink dave 🤣 aye good set up your probably limited what you can get in the triangle bag so it doesn't catch your legs. the 2 bags near your stem remind me of climbers chalk bags. its baltic out there 🥶
Cheers Geordie , I don’t want to be cold or uncomfortable on trips. Frame bag is ideal for heavier stuff like tools, power banks etc those chalk bags are ideal for the GoPro and goodies 😂🚲
Just wondering Dave if you have used your electric bike for bike packing before?
I did when when I had my old diy e-bike but it was just an overnighter really , it’s on my other channel tho - ua-cam.com/video/DkPo9qZO_w0/v-deo.htmlsi=vL7ABIwfO5dQEFT7
@@davesolobiker5601 Nice one! I will check it out! I suppose if you can find somewhere to charge up again then it's useful to have with the extra bags to carry 👍
Saddle bags make me laugh, maybe if you're just going from town to town and maybe spending 1 night camping they might be nice and light but everyone who really stays out on the bike for long periods of time uses a rear rack. Not everyone uses panniers though, lots of the foremost adventures, inspired by Iohan Gueorguiev, carry a backpack on their rear rack instead, that way you can put the pack on your back when you have to hike the bike.
Personal choice I suppose , I’m not one for rucksack carrying on the rack but yeah what works for one might not work for another..
@@davesolobiker5601 yeah I wouldn't do it unless I had a ton of hike a bike to do. I use panniers because I sometimes go for a long time between resupplies, but rarely have to hike.
How would you rate your charge saddle?
It’s way better than the cannondale one , it’s comfortable but you start to get a numb backside at the end of the day. Overall for my type of cycling , stopping plenty of times it works well. Atb Dave
What is the name of the magnet charger never seen one and how does it connect to the phone and garmin
P-TECHUK Fast Charging 360° +... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097TNJJH1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Here’s the link for it , comes with various little adapters ,usb-c to magnet . Basically I leave one plugged into my phone/garmin and light so all 3 have the magnet ready for me to just pop the cable on whatever needs charged 👍
@davesolobiker5601 hi thanks very much for your reply il look into these and also great content another binge watch 😁
Shame the internal frame bag has no zip flaps or something to make it waterproof
Yeah but it will be fine for me though 🚲👍
