I'm planning my first bikepacking trip and trying to figure out the best setup for storage. I was thinking of using the back of the bike for my sleep setup, which would include a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and maybe some clothing. I’ll carry a 1L bottle in the frame along with a frame bag, though I'm not exactly sure what all will fit in there yet. I’m also planning to use a stem bag for another 1L bottle and a couple of snacks if it fits.
I have a small handlebar pouch which I might use for some food since I already own the bag. I'm not sure how to fit a fork cage on my bike or whether I even need one. The trip will last 6-8 days of biking total, and I’ll be passing through towns every two hours or so. I’ll also be carrying a first aid kit and some backup parts for the bike.
I’ll have a fanny pack with me too for things like my phone, wallet, and charger.
Do you think i would have enough space without the fork cages? Am I missing anything I should be bringing?
