    You absolutely cannot beat cycling round inside the house when the missus is out - the smaller your gaff the more fun it is

    They ain't fashionable and not all bikes can take them but I have gone back to a Tortec Epic (ultralite) Stainless Steel rack...fits my rigid On One Inbred MTB and also my Vitus Substance VRS gravel bike, way better for a stable heavy load on the top and a couple of small panniers. I find flat bars offer more choice too- I have the same Topeak "Front Loader" and can get my tent in it with the poles, pegs etc, important to distribute the weight front to back. Drop bars start to limit you to their internal width, and the clearance to the tyres compared to a MTB is way less.... Another thing I'll do is use a drybag rucksack, get a light one and if you are running short on space on the bike, put ONLY light but bulky stuff in there- down jackets, sleeping bags, clothes etc...2-3kg is barely noticeable but frees up space on the bike to carry the heavy stuff!!

      Hello, yes all good tips nice one. In summer it’s easy, lightweight, small pack size. Winter is the issue with more and bulkier heavier gear. I’ll very often begrudgingly use a small rucksack for items.
      Yes the width of drop bars does limit the bag size, sometimes I’ll pack and find I can’t change gear!! 🤣🤣
      I made a stabiliser for under my front bag to help with loading and keep the bag off the tyre.
      Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciated 👍🏕️🍺🚵‍♂️

    Tried loading out my mtb for bike packing like this - ended up just shoving the lot into my backpacking pack and using that, much easier for a simpleton like me 🤣

    Nice one Jamie, enjoyed that. I've just got an MTB for bike packing so I've been bingeing on a few of your videos to figure out how to pack and organise the kit. Do you ever have issues with the handlebar bag rubbing on the head tube?
