I ride my (Ti) Omnium cargo. I made some smaller bags/storage for some smaller stuff, but I carry just about anything in my 100L Sealline Pro duffel, which has some nice backpacking straps, making it easy to carry the bike over boulders/trees/streams etc.

Hello Cheerio - just wanted to say that you greatly inspired me to get into bike packing. Did my first trip this past weekend, 120 miles round-trip and camped for 2 days. It was a lot of fun. I just wanted to say "thank you" for making these videos and sharing your journey!

@Milessongs 5 месяцев назад

Wow! You have some of EVERYTHING with you. I can't believe, but LOVE that you actually carry you ukulele with you!!😃 Video of you playing, PLEASE!

@Ru556 Год назад

Much as the 'bikepacking' bit is super sexy right now, it just seems that great lengths are gone to in order to carry 'the stuff'. Pannier bags just let you shove in what you want - and you have the top of the back rack to pile more on if you wish. :) I enjoy your videos.

@omare_biketonature Год назад

Sure works for you! But for me is to chaotic, to many straps, bottles and dry bags. A combination of small ortlieb bikepacking panniers, frame bag, ortlieb fork bags and if necessary a bikepacking handlebar. Enjoy your travels

@kurt9609 Год назад

As one without a car I've nearly perfected the art (sometimes frustration) of lashing groceries on my bars. Not ideal for long stretches, but works in a pinch when camp is just a couple miles.

Hey Cheerio, just discovered your channel and binged almost all videos in a few days.😅 I was wondering if you have considered maybe doing a Q&A video? I think a lot of your audience would love to have a chance to ask you many stuff. Greetings from Croatia and keep on peddaling 💪

@DrTommyGouranga576 Год назад

What was a real game changer for me was a really good bike stand that can hold the weight of the bike with all the luggage on it easily. That means I can simply kick out the stand and all that weight and pressure is totally away from my mind and body (overheated maybe) and I can stop anywhere put out the stand and step back from the bike and relax! This is one of the sturdiest I found but my new bike has no mounting points so Im confused how to install it but I literally just turned my cooker on by mistake and could smell burning and I realised its because Im having to lean it. The other thing I learned is to get some ergonomic grips so my hands dont go to sleep while riding and that has changed the whole experience massivly as well as a gel saddle cover. I like your set up thank you for sharing your wisdom and current choice of equipment.

Hello. I carry a Waterdrop filter gravity filter system for 2 reasons. 1) I can filter any water source and do not have to tons of heavy water. When I’m getting low I begin looking for any source, streams, rivers,lakes,garden hoses etc. The Waterdrop system can handle it all. 2) In Western Canada our well or tap water on some farms is bad tasting again the filter takes care. Enjoyed the video. Be well and stay safe. John in Alberta

@robinferguson8911 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, that was fun to watch! I use panniers and it still takes me forever, FOREVER, to get packed up in the morning. That would hold me back from using a bikepacking system like this. Half the day would be gone before I'd have everything back in its place! Bikepacking gear does look so cool though :)

@ianlaken3980 Месяц назад

I did the Vélodyssée with a Coho xc trailer. Let me carry loads of stuff but required extra concentration as it could have mind of its own. Recently toured Norfolk on a touring bike with panniers which I consider as better that the trailer. Love the videos keep them coming. Chapeau 👍

0:06 I am a recent user of a gravel bike that I have used for a few short tours. My new bike allows small front fork bags (5 litre each), I can also add either a waterproof 20 litre “sausage” bag on handle bar OR a harness to add a tent or sleeping bag. I can use a simple 1 litre waterproof bag (wallet, phone, electronics crap) with either of my handle bar setups. I have left a rear rack (Topeak MDX) on this bike to allow me to use waterproof panniers (20 or 30 litre). A small partial frame bag for bike repair stuff(tubes, foldable tire, pump, clic stands(2) to support bike, top tube bag (candy, phone, electronics crap. I can also use a waterproof Topeak rear saddle bag(12 litres) for sleeping bag, rain gear. I prefer placing my heaviest item a 1 person MSR elixir tent on top of rear rack and a small solar power panel. I had thought of getting these waterproof roll bags you used to replace rear and front panniers but I see the many hassles riders have in adding food supplies or getting at stuff stored in these bags, so I stuck to panniers, also easier to remove or install.My gear storage still allows for as many as 4 water bottles on bike. I had thought of some type front carrier rack like yours but since my front forks are fibreglass I decided against adding too much front weight there. I would go back to panniers as your prime gear storage system rather than the bike “packing” bags, a proven touring gear storage for cyclists.

As an older bike tourer using panniers / saddlebag this looks nuts to me , but each to their own I don't think I could remember where anything was.

@detharp Год назад

completly right, i travel even bikerafting with 20 inch folding bike, all campingstuff included, paniers rule!❤

@teva4669 Год назад

I agree. I wonder what happen to those dry bags if they are not entirely full. I don't think you can strap them securely.

@kurt9609 Год назад

Panniers are the easiest way to start imoh, but I appreciate innovations in recent years. Very nice ..thanks for sharing! Currently my main DNS😁 is an old pair of Ortlieb Back-Rollers, a half-frame bag (bottles still fit in tradition cages) and either a handlebar bag or a stem-mount bottle bag. My first trip I used a 40 Liter backpack and a small seatbag (not recommended). Then I got a basic rear rack, strapping on a tent and dry bags ..also carrying the same backpack (still awful but lighter). It's what I had/ could afford and worked well enough for 3-4 day trips. It's great to see different set-ups on the roads and trails- trailers, ultra-minimalists and even recumbents. Let's get out there!

@HarryFenton6124 Год назад

Your setup reminds me of those old wooden sailing ships with dozens of sails getting smaller and smaller the higher up they were. Watching your videos is part of my motivation for taking my first bike touring holiday next week. However, I have borrowed a dog trailer and will be just chucking all of my stuff into it. If my week is a success I will buy something a bit more sophisticated.

@normanmart7933 Год назад

Just a tip for newcomers consider a good sidestand difficult to find in UK the Dutch always have it sussed , it's really awkward trying to hold a bike up and load a bike even with a couple of bags also remember you need space for food and a bottle of wine/beer. Both bulky and heavy. Enjoy.

@FirstLast-ml7yf Год назад

Another super useful gear item equivalent to the neoprene socks are "Rocky" brand goretex socks. Get a size big enough to enable thicker socks. I use mine all the time, even with sandals in snow!

@nuoutdoor Год назад

@aarontaylor1679 Год назад

Love to finally see your set up!! I'm always adapting to what I learn. I use panniers on the front with a rack & Wald basket, saddle bag and aeroe rack on the rear! (I prefer weight on the front).

@Fedroswkij Год назад

mai scontata o banale, grazie, molte idee utili

@marks6041 Год назад

Thank you for the informative video GC & it looks like you have a great set-up! Once you switch to the panniers you can organize your stuff in the various Ortlieb dry bags just as you do now while storing them in your the panniers instead. I use different color dry bags to store stuff so I can find everything in the panniers more easily. You look incredibly fit, healthy, & accomplished so don't listen to that dude that claimed you look sad. He likely doesn't look half as good as you do as we should all be so fortunate! 🙂 Also, like you I use flat pedals and addidas 5 -10 bike shoes on my 2022 Kona Sutra touring bike & also when I'm bikepacking on my 2021 GT Grade carbon bike. IMO it's way more practical & comfortable for riding and walking about than clipping into cleated pedals when bike touring. So once again do what you're most comfortable with & don't listen to a bunch of roadies that never haul heavy gear & claim you need to use cleated pedals. I've been using Schwalbe G-One All-Around 700x40 tires on my GT Grade similar to what you're using & find them to be quite versatile for pavement or gravel. Your 8bar bike looks absolutely awesome for bikepacking! Keep up the great work GC, if you're ever touring in the U.S. I'm on warmshowers in the Cary, NC area. Take care, stay safe, & happy riding! Mark

@HuntersCyclingAdventures 9 месяцев назад

@MarkNeal75 Год назад

Thanks for the setup run through. I do like the multi bag setup as you really can have organisation within the bags so you know what goes in an exact bag. There will be a million arguments as to what is best, bikepack bags vs panniers so I guess it’s up to you what you feel comfortable with? I recently done 1200km through Europe with 2x 6L fork bags, 7L dry bag on a front rack, 7L aerobar bag, 4L frame bag, 2x 12.5L rear panniers and then a 13L dry bag on rear rack. Plus i had a couple of 3L dry bags strapped on top of the panniers and 2x 1L stem bags. So tons of storage, enough to do a world tour? Maybe? Try some options out if you can and see what suits you best. It’s been amazing following your journey and I wish you Bon voyage ❤

@The2808erik Год назад

I've done a 5 day 1400km Tour last year with an 8 liter handlebar bag, 1liter top tube bag , 4 liter half frame bag and 14 liter seat pack. My setup now is just the top tube, half frame bag and I ditched the handlebar bag and seat pack for a 20 liter tailfin trunk bag. I like to ride fast and far. More bag space just encourages you to take more thing you don't need

@pedroclaro7822 Год назад

To protect my bike frame from the bikepacking bags and straps from rubbing, I washed and dried the bike properly, and then wrapped it in a clear vinyl-like wrapper. It was a whole day’s work, but I didn’t want my bike to look all scrapped up at the end of a couple tours.

I don’t know about her, but I have one bag - a messenger pannier - that’s designated to carry my expensive stuff and sensitive stuff like passport, ID, wallet, etc. when I go into a store or something, I just take that bag. It’s the Timbuk2 Shift Pannier Messenger, so it comes off and attaches very easily and quickly.

Stay safe and happy cycling!

Super run down of your gear. Thanks for calling out the bag sizes. Kudos for having a proper first aide kit. Just a suggestion. As you leave Europe and get into less developed areas you might want to invest in a water filter that filters out viruses, such as MSR Guardian or a Grayl. Iodine tablets work too. Happy travels

Thanks for the video. The electronics bag/setup would be interesing in my opinion, for two reasons. First is that you make videos, so you need something to record, some way to backup and someting to edit on. Having all this would have been a lot of gear a few years ago. How do you manage it? Second is the question of lights setup. How do you manage having enough light/power? Do you use powerbanks, backup lights?

@bwanajames 7 месяцев назад

I did the Great Divide (Mexico to Canada on dirt) using a hybrid set-up: dry bags on forks with handlebar roll up front and panniers on the back. Really the best of both worlds. The panniers were very handy for dropping things in (food) without having to cinch it down and squish things. Very easy access. I noticed in other videos that you carried a chair. Sure would beat squatting in the dirt. What brand was that? I also appreciate your honesty. A lot of folks making videos are smiling all the time, like it is one big picnic. But we both know that isn't always the case.

@jeremylutersz3374 Год назад

@julianhawker7672 Год назад

Agreed, anything Park tool is good in my experience.

@terrykjones1 11 месяцев назад

I highly recommend the Quick Stick. You will never go back to tire levers again. The key to not struggling with tight tires is to learn how to pinch the tire into the center of the rim as you work your hands around the wheel to gain as much slack as possible. slipping the last bit over the rim can happen without a tire lever at all.

@jasonfoord4755 Год назад

I would be interested to know your experience with the Aeroe Spider Rear Rack. Especially in terms of stability and durability, since the carrier is attached exclusively to the rear stays and has no support on the seat stay. How long have you been riding with it? Has it shown any weaknesses? Do the screws loosen over time? Is the frame scratched on the rear stays?

Great setup! Actually I would like to know what you carry with you in your electronic bags :).

The SP is Taiwanese made and much more affordable but the quality seems quite good also.

@doormat321 7 месяцев назад

I think a hybrid setups with a mixture of panniers and bike packing gear works great. Which sounds like the route you'll be going. Personally I'm not a fan of a pure bike packing setup. It's great if your primary focus is speed or very off road terrain. It limits you to either carry very minimalist gear, which I find doesn't last or strapping 20 bags on your big which I find impractical. At the moment I'm really liking carradice style saddle/bar bags. Which is also not great for round the world travel.

Hey ! Nice video ! Could you tell me the name of the cage you're using for your ukulele and dry bag to the rack please (with the straps)?

Hello from Paris! I think you have way too many individual bags. Too much manipulation that takes time and not practical in case of emergency like a storm or a deluge =p. For my European tour I plan: - A PACK AÉROBAR RACING bag (2.5L) from Apidura (the French touch =)) €104.00 (for my drone) and put my speaker on top with the elastic straps of the bag attached to a Profile Design Supersonic Ergo+ 50 extension SLC 250€ for comfort on long routes. PS: the restrap "RACE AERO BAR BAG 7L" 120€ can also do the trick but I avoid overloading the front for maneuverability so I took the Apidura. - A "LONG RACING UPPER TUBE PACK (2L)" bag from apidura €86.00 for the usb hub of my hub dynamo, my external battery, the arm warmers/knee pads, the snacks and basic tools for my shorts for the cold and rainy weather. - A "Tubus Tara Lowrider" front luggage rack (Max payload: 18 kg) 70€ with an "ORTLIEB Gravel-Pack 2x12.5L" 120€ for the "sleeping bag and mattress" on one side then the tent on the right. Just that in the saddlebags because it lets the material breathe and prevents it from being too compressed and therefore extending the life of the latter. - A "TUBUS logo classic" rear luggage rack (Max payload: 26 kg or 10 kg more than your spider) 80€ and an "ORTLIEB Gravel-Pack - 2x12.5L" 120€ for clothes and other little things. - An ORTLIEB Rack-Pack - 31L" €80 on the two rear panniers (attachable via the straps of the two side panniers as well as a handle on the seat post) for everything you need for cooking. PS: instead of the Gravel-pack, you can use "Sport-Roller Plus 2x12.5L" 112€ or even "Back rollers plus 2x20L" 131€ if you need more space. You can always use your dry bags for sensitive business such as electronics, sleeping (both front panniers). I hope I did not forget anything. Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure. Take care, have fun, but be careful on the road =)

Interesting set up you have….it looks like you are carrying a lot of weight. Is that a problem for you. I am planning my set up so I am looking at all the options. Do you use a solar panel to power your devices? Have you toured the UK?

@giantcheerio Год назад

I am definitely carrying a lot but I got used to it. Everything I carry is essential for my life on the road. A friend once said: "carry like a camel, live like a king"😄. I am using a big blue 28w solar panel :)

What is the overall weight carried on the front fork? Does it affect steering? Thank you for the clip.

really curious to know what the total weight of all these bags minus consumables actually is, seems like the dry bags and straps alone would add up to a kilo or two
