Hi all, wondering what bag setup would be best for my road bike. Going for an overnight camping trip first, but looking to do some week long stuff later!
Have seen suggestions online for seat bags, frame bags, handlebar rolls and panniers, not sure what would be best for my bike or have enough capacity for camping kit.
Main kit will be packing a lightweight tent (looking at the Lashan 1 Pro ATM), stove, food, sleeping bag, and misc bike maintenance stuff.
Picture of my (well loved) road bike attached, it's a decathlon triban 3.

Should have put this in the main post, but I’m in the UK and going to be going in relatively reasonable weather (10-20c, rain expected)
I’d be inclined to suggest a lightweight rear rack, with which you can then fasten a big dry bag onto the top, and if necessary, on the sides you can use panniers or small bikepacking bags.
i bought an axium rack which goes through the axle and doesn’t require luggage rack mounts.
This makes for quite a versatile setup.
I also use a Rhinowalk two piece handlebar bag, which is a combination of a dry bag with a detachable shoulder bag. The shoulder bag is handy for clipping off and taking with me into shops etc.
