Lurker here, who got a lot of inspiration from this sub! It's my first time bikepacking since 10 years where I strapped a cheap set of panniers to an old MTB. Usually, I do long day trips.
I'm going for 3 weeks around Tuscany, then up to the Alps for a few days. The rack is an Old Man Mountain with a waterproof backpack strapped to it, as I want something to do hikes when not cycling. I have my clothes in it and cooking / repair kit in the drybags strapped to it. Front rack is a Miss Grape Il Coso, with camping equipement. Electronics, snacks and toiletries are in the frane bag. On the way to the station to catch the night train, 2 screws came loose on the rack and a voile strap snapped. So I'm nervous but exited.
How does the setup look? I guess I'll learn a lot on the trip… 😁

How useful do you find the underslung bottle cage? Can you access it whilst riding? Does it get all sorts of detritus over it whilst riding?
