Hi there! I thought it might be useful to share the setup I used two years ago during a tour through Italy and France, in case anyone wants to take inspiration from some parts of it.

Looking back, I would have removed a few things, such as the rear rack, which I only needed for the tripod (and could have left at home), along with a few other items.

The setup included:

  • Ortlieb full-frame bag

  • Two 8-liter drybags mounted on the fork using drybag racks

  • Large Ortlieb saddle bag

  • Front drybag holder with a large 20-liter drybag

  • Small Ortlieb handlebar bag

  • Two bottle pouches on the handlebar

  • Bottle cage under the frame

Despite carrying all this gear (including a tent, sleeping bag, mattress, stove, tripod, camera with two lenses, and warm clothes), the bike was still easy to handle and relatively aerodynamic.
