• Looks fun, love the photo of the tent and the moon.

    Have you a photo showing the rack on the genesis? Wondering if front panniers are the way to go for bikepacking - they shouldn't get in the way for pushing the bike like rear ones would.

  • This was a bit of a trial for that idea, front panniers had the lightweight / high volume stuff in them. 4 season bag in one, insulated mat and cooking kit in the other. Both had a big Voile strap around them to the rack legs, my idea to take the strain off the pannier fittings and stop the rattling.

    Front rack had a big two man tent on it, normally this is split in half with my brother.

    Frame bag was full of cans of beer, tube, tool and pump.

    Saddle pack had food for 2, jacket, hat, gloves, headtorch, TP, spare socks and long johns.
