    I still don't have a clue what I'm going to end up taking. I tested a Revelate framebag but I don't like it messing with my knees so will have to stick to the smaller Deuter bag. I have a Revelate top tube bag that might stay - it seems to work ok, even if the velcro is too short for my headtube. The other thing I'm considering is a handlebar bag to go under the aerobars or some feed bags - did you use anything like this? I'm sure there's a pic of your bike somewhere I need to look at.

    I'm thinking about taking a larger battery pack - I have an Anker 6400 but I see there are some 10000+ units that are more robust and allow through charging so might be able to be left on the dyno.

    The dyno and lights need testing - no idea how these are going to be wired up. I'll probably fuck that up.

    Lots of little bits and pieces I will have to try and jam into the saddle pack or the little frame bag.

  • I used Apidura- their small frame bag is unobtrusive as long as your bottles don't foul it, but even with small bottles extracting them is a pain so I used the apidura nosh bag thing on my handlebars to hold a main bottle, only accessing the frame bottles to change over when the bar bottle was empty. I didn't run aero bars, but wish I had as they give you more storage options- particularly for a sleeping bag, Id use a dry bag rather than handle bar bag at the front though to be honest- I have a very good event dry bag that is easy to squeeze air out of. Give me a shout if you want to try anything out.

  • I've seen, though not ridden with Apidura framebags and I think I'd have the same issue. I really don't like anything touching my knees when riding.

    I've got a couple of small S2S drybags that I bought intending to strap under aerobars with sleep kit in and a larger one I have been using in the Revelate saddle pack. I guess I need to see my bike first to play with mounting options because I don't know what cables are around and what stuff might foul, etc.
