The "All Around" Bike Packing System
Рет қаралды 155,377
Жыл бұрынIn this video I will go deep into my hybrid Bikepacking / Bicycle Touring setup and why I think this is a fantastic “All Around” system that will suit a lot of peoples needs. It has taken many years to perfect and I hope that this will provide you a great place to start your own bike bag exploration or it can help you to dial in your current setup that bit better. Enjoy!

Hi Everybody! Bicycle bags are an important staple among adventure cyclists. I have broken down my “all around” bike packing system into, hopefully, easily digestible chunks. Let me know what you think and I am curious if you have suggestions to make this setup even better? Thanks for watching and have a great day, E&M

One thing I find very useful is a large water bag. I usually travel with a 6L MSR Dromedary bag. The benefit compared to a bottle is that it doesn't take up any space when it's empty, and when it's not it just takes as much space as there is water in it. Also, MSR make a few useful accessories to it, like a water purifier that pumps water right into the bag, and a shower kit so you can use the water in it to take a shower. And if I ever need to cross a desert, MSR also makes a 10 liter bag!
@WheelstoWander Жыл бұрын
Great bags and accessories! I have the 10L which is a bit big so looking at the 6L version for coming expeditions where water is a priority! All the best
@KowalskiVanishing_Point Жыл бұрын
If you're cheap like me an empty 4 liter bag from boxed wine works ok for carrying water- tougher than you think. Can also use it as a blow up pillow. Of course they make an 8 liter one too. And it's fun emptying them in the first place.
@petesig93 Жыл бұрын
My 6L MSR Dromedary lives on top of the Tubus Cargo rear rack, between the Ortlieb panniers and under the 30L dry bag. Ideal placement for it as this is a dead-space otherwise. It is just the right width for this place; the 10L is a bit too wide. On less remote tours I carry my spare pair of shoes/Keen sandals in that spot.

@@KowalskiVanishing_Point most likely perfectly strong enough for most situations. The dromedary is most likely overkill for most situations, but it has a few clever solutions. Like it's easy to hang it so gravity will empty it.

I would also give some hints: 1. while buying the waterbottle handlebar puches - LOOK FOR THE ONES with holes at the bottom. Because on an accidental rain downpour water will stay there 2. I would suggest avoiding big duffle bags if you're not going for a long trip. I mean after few months on the road I just sent it back home (it came out that I don't need so much space and gear at all). Cheers

Nice clean set up. Thanks for sharing your new triangle pack. I believe in using what works for the type of journey planned. Some of my gear goes back 50 years and been all over Canada and the States. A few years back I moved my handlebar bag off the handlebars and placed it to the top of the front rack, to lower the center of gravity and allow room for two water bottles mounted to the handlebars. I made a quick release system that allows me to face the handlebar bag forward or backward. and it carries the items I will need for the day. the removeable carry strap allows me to load it with food at a grocery/quickly on my way. I have replaced my bright orange duffle on top the back rack for two dry bags. they become my washing machine on a rest day. Everything carried in the panniers is in a color-coded stuff sack or a zippered cubes of different colors sizes and shapes. Everything has a home to make finding it simple.

After watching the video a second time. I understand the advantage of centering the weight on the bike to improve stability. My concern with a triangle bag is how does it affect control of the bike in a powerful cross wind that can push the bike sideways into traffic or off the road. Strong cross winds are always a concern when biking as well as for semitrucks crossing the open prairie of Canada and the USA.
@WheelstoWander Жыл бұрын
That is a good question. We had some really strong winds and I didn't had any problems with being blown off course. That said traffic was sparse and possibly with frequent big trucks I would reassess the situation and perceived minor wind influence would become more serious as danger by traffic increases.

I love my Ortlieb bags - the Bikepacker/Sportpacker cap-lid bags, the Ultimate Six 8.5L, handlebar bag, and the 25 year old Ortlieb 30L dry bag on the rear rack. Framebags have no attraction for me for two reasons: 1. With my narrow knee gait I would be hitting them every pedal revolution, and 2. They would remove the placing of my frame-mounted bidons. When I need extra load-space I tour with an Extrawheel 26" single-wheel trailer.
@WheelstoWander Жыл бұрын

Check out some clear tape called "helicopter tape", formerly developed to protect the leading edge of helicopter rotors against chips. They come in different width, stick very well, and are (almost :-) bullet-proof. The tape pretty much disappears when applied. Very useful to protect the frame under straps, the chainstay against chain slap, the bottom of the diagonal tube against rock chips, and at rubbing points where hoses/cable housing rub against the paint.

Near the end of the video you mention going to the secondhand marketplaces first, which seems like a good idea for those on a budget. Which secondhand marketplaces would you recommend?
@WheelstoWander Жыл бұрын
We always go to "Marktplaats" in the Netherlands. Ebay should work, Craigslist... I am not familiar with all the ones out there but probably every country has it's possibilities. Best wishes :) E&M

I used a phone mounting system until the phone lens detached from the phone. Sounds like the Quad Lock maybe transfer less vibration to the phone.

Where do you leave the food? Do you buy your food for a whole day or separate for every meal? What if you have to buy food for more than one day because there is no possibility?

Thanks Sylvia 😊 Maudi has the food bag and I do the tent, tripod and some other stuff. We always have a bit of extra (backup) food. And for multiple days it depends on availability... Leuk te horen dat jullie met de hond gaan. Klinkt geweldig 🐕

Bike packing means different things to different people but I can't imagine myself needing all those bags even in the name of "functionality". The bike must weigh a ton even before you begin filling the bags. I don't think my legs could take it. This may not be on your radar but I think you could get away with half the stuff, even on the remote tours you guys do.
