Check out Blake's MTB bike packing set up he used for his Dorset overnighter! Choosing racks and panniers rather than frame and seat bags allowed him to pack more things and go glamping in the orchard of a cider farm 🍺🍎

Amazing the level of life you can breathe in to an old bike with bits from other bikes that you've upgraded. Tinker-level at max!

@product8498 3 года назад

Not recommended for carbon seat stays! And that's from Topeak's own website. Load these up with 12kg on a light weight carbon XC bike and the first small drop or heavy compression and the frame will shatter. I know these guys need to pump us daily with adverts but you'd expect they would not give us warranty voiding frame breaking advice.

@leftaroundabout 3 года назад

Bikebacking on full-sus? Way to go! But alas, it's of course again one of these systems whose design doesn't make sense at all for it. Both front and rear baggage 100% _unsprung_ mass? You get all the bob, none of the damping. I'd rather use a gravel bike then. A fully-sprung luggage rack makes for an _awesome_ riding experience on long rides (plus, it doesn't snap your seatstays when you hit a kerb). About time some manufacturer at last produces that in series.

@charlesrobinson6444 3 года назад

I don’t get your comment mate, front is on the forks below sus - so unsprung. However back is on the stays and sprung. Can you clarify what you meant (for my eduction!). Tx.

@leftaroundabout 3 года назад

@@charlesrobinson6444 the rear rack goes up when the suspension compresses, that's how it's _unsprung_. From the POV of the bike of course that's “sprung” in the sense of _movable_, just like the fork lower legs move relative to the bike, but what matters is whether it's movable relative to the wheels. Ok, it's maybe not quite 100% unsprung because the chainstays also tilt down during compression. This might help if the mass were placed further to the front, but as it is actually pretty centered on the rear wheel, it's still at least ≈80% unsprung.

There is an issue with the comp so nobody should enter! The tetrarack comes in different sizes and the comp isnt clear which rack its asking about and I'm not sure Blake makes it clear either and I'm not watching the video again. So for clarity, R2 = 9kg M1 = 10kg M2 =12kg Could gmbn make it clear which one you asking about? I assume its m1 or m2.
