There is a huge wealth of information available on places like bikepacking.com - there are a lot of fancy setups, but one of the foundation principles of bike packing / touring is that ingenuity and creativity is a great replacement for money. Also "bikepacking" is typically considered to be on rougher terrain than "touring", hence most "bikepacking" bags are designed to be soft mounted. This is a much stronger solution than racks are for sustained vibration and shock loads.
But for typical 1-3 night trips, a rear pannier rack with roomy panniers, a tent strapped to the top deck of the rack, and a bag of some kind lashed to your handlebars is perfect IMO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
