Bikepacking Pictures

Anyone have bikepacking pictures they'd like to share?

Bikepacking through the Canadian Rockies on my 2013 Fatback Aluminum. Fully rackless with Revelate Designs and Porcelain Rocket bags.

Here are some shots of my Memorial Day weekend bikepacking trip around Folsom Lake. Definitely do not like towing the trailer. Frame bags seem more stable.

Frame bags are much more fun than the trailer!

A few pics from various bikepacking (mis)adventures in 2016: 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 






 

 

 

@smithhammer - what make and model of rear rack/white panniers are you using?  Any pros or cons to the setup overall?  Thanks.

On the Fargo I was running a Blackburn 'Central' rack, and on the fat bike I have a Blackburn 'Outpost' rack. The panniers are made by Rogue Panda. 

Last season I decided I wanted to experiment with some small panniers made for off-road use. At 12L each and with a simple, solid attachment system, the RP panniers definitely fit the bill perfectly and have been excellent. I like their minimal size - just enough to expand capacity a little more than what my standard bikepacking bags offer, without becoming big and unwieldy off-road like typical touring panniers tend to be.

The Central rack was fine with the panniers loaded and a small dry bag strapped to the top of it when I was on mild dirt roads, but when I got onto some rougher terrain, it flexed and wagged around a bit too much for my liking. If you stick to typical gravel road touring, I think it would be fine.

The Outpost rack with the RP panniers, on the other hand, has been rock solid on everything I've ridden with it, including rocky singletrack and full-on cross country overland with no trail to speak of. I really like that rack.

Excellent review - thanks.

cool, watched your video.  I’ve ridden that LaCrosse Elroy, Sparta trail a couple of times and almost hit it up today.  Went north to Trempelau, WI instead.

I also have a Motobocane Fat tire, like to see others bike packing setups.

Here's a few from an overnighter I did in the Gila NF mid July.  The route I took is part of the Tour Divide and I met a couple of the tour riders who had two days left before they reached the Mexico border.  Bike is a Lynskey ProGR with Fox Ax fork and EE Silk seatpost.  

         

Looks nice.  Like that seat post?  Looks like a little thudbuster (Oh, I see it is made b Cane Creek, so I guess it is pretty similar)

Been a while since I've been camping in Texas.  Probably because all my ex's live in Texas...
