Hi All,

I'll be travelling from London To Central Italy in a month time on my Colnago Tecnos equipped with Scirocco 20 wheels and campy groupset. I've set it up with Alpkit 13l handlebar bag, Alpkit airlok xtra 13l saddle bag, triangle frame bag and I'll be also carrying a Lightweight bike bag to use on trains. Now... my question is

Does anyone know if this kind of bikes can hold around 30kg of weight without any issue?

P.S. I'm mounting 700x23 tyres...

Thanks for your help

How heavy are you?

Do the bags really weight 30kg, or is there 30litres of space? Unless you are filling them with water the two numbers don't follow.

compared to my body weight I would guess you'd be fine?! :)
