- Are these the BEST bikepacking upgrades to make your trips more fun, comfortable, and simple?!
I run through my bikepacking set-up for 2024 - what kit has proved the test of time and will continue with me, and which areas I've decided to upgrade. I talk about how I carry my tent, sleeping bag, and everything I need for a weekend on my bike and what equipment I use around the camp.
00:00:29 - Tough and reliable bikepacking gear I WON'T be changing
00:02:16 - A full-length frame bag alternative
00:03:06 - The ultimate bikepacking top tube solution?
00:04:06 - Brand new ultralight tent for bikepacking
00:05:54 - Why I'm ditching my Decathlon sleeping bag
00:06:33 - My new ultralight bikepacking sleeping bag
00:06:58 - The Thermarest Neoair XLite failed me!
00:07:25 - A warm, comfortable sleeping mat for bikepacking
00:07:59 - The unsung heroes of bikepacking gear

Great stuff, Jake!

Great video Jake, the red flashing light on the lantern is if you want to earn a bit of extra cash at night ha ha.
On a more serious note, I put a porter rack on the front of my bike and it allows more bulkier stuff to be carried for longer trips which may assist you in the future.
Not sure I'll get the interest in that area 😂 agree the bar bag is the weak area
Your rear derailleur tension screw seem to have better days,
It's taken a beating! But in for a service
Best of luck on your adventures - great set-up. Had a chuckle at the 3/4 thermarest haha. I didnt even know they made those and cant think of a reason to own one. We all make some silly rookie mistakes and laugh at them afterwards :)
Live and learn! The most confusing thing with the 3/4 length mat is that it brags about how high its R-value is - pretty redundant if half your body is on the floor! Cheers
Nice camping kit !

TI frame next then
Great setup. I actually have that exact bike and frame bag! Served me well for many miles. Can I ask what fork you’ve upgraded to?
Thanks! I can't remember the exact model but it's a carbon fibre Whisky fork. The original had a creaking noise the bike shop weren't happy with (and the retailer I bought it from wanted me to send it back for 6 weeks for inspection - which during lockdown for me was not appealing!) so I used it as an opportunity to upgrade
COOL
Going to be WARM this weekend bikepacking 🥵
good video
Cheers!
I'm still using my Kona Rove ST that i got in 2021! Have you considered stem bags over a top tube bag? can you comment on your bike repair kit?
The thing I don't love about stem bags is reducing access to your bars and different hand positions, particularly using the tops. To be honest my bikepacking trips haven't been too deep in the wilderness still so far (and I only have limited repair knowledge!) so don't bring much in the way of repair as I know I'd likely be able to reach a shop without too much hassle. Something for me to explore more and learn more about as I do more trips!
Could that top tube bag could be used as a soothing bath (while riding) ?
Dread to think what you're planning on soothing on there 😂
Curious to know if the Apidura top tube bag will be stable and won't rub your legs.
Have used it a fair amount already and not had any leg rub (although can notice it if out the saddle and moving the bike side to side a bit more)
I didn’t catch what tent this was? And where do you store it on the bike?
The tent is a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo 1-person tent. I pack it, along with my mat, pillow and towel, rolled up in the frame bag, and the polls slide in the holster of the frame bag too
