• amazing effort...

    Can you guys recommend a low cost setup that would do me for a weekend? I've got a buddy who is itching to do some weekend touring & camping (on road routes - probably at a camp site with a pub dinner). I've got a Genesis Fugio which has minimal eyelets, so bike packing seems like the viable option - I was thinking a medium sized rear bag and handlebar bag would be sufficient, splitting the tent between us. Do people generally fit their sleeping bag between the handlebars?

  • Low cost:
    -dry bag with straps to handlebar to do as handlebar roll
    -dry bag with straps to do as saddle bag
    -get a large cheap triathlon TT bag to do as a snack top bag if you like
    -two water bottles
    -small backpack to take on frequent use stuff - camera, sweater, food etc

    Sleeping bag, mat, tent etc in handlebar roll. If your sleeping bag is one of the huge old types might be worth looking into some sort of compression sack for it to pack it down.

    Clothing in seatbag.

  • Agreed. I do like my cheap ktm saddle bag, but it still needs a dry bag inside.

    @Sebbb have a flick through the pics on the previous ten pages or so.

    Compression sacks and dry bags are your best friend. Are you handy? Webbing and buckles are cheap, I made my own straps for the sleeping bag and chalk dip bag as snack bag up front.

  • Thanks guys - appreciated. I'll have a headscratch and see what I come up with...
