Last year I did 12 days od Croatian islands, an this year, well today, I'm doing 5-6 days od Slovenian West Loop.
This route is much more about biking, a lot of vertical gain, and a lot of descending.
I was not thrilled with the way the bike turned with heavy loaded handlebar bag, and also, I put maybe too much in drybag which was on Aeroe spider rack and was scared for my rear triangle.
This year I put most of weight in costum made frame bag and cheap Temu top tube bag, sleeping bag and liner are in drybag in saddle harness so I can use dropper post.
Huge difference is that I put tent, sleeping mat and bottles on Tailfinn SFM. My clothes are in my running backpact that I used for multiple day adventure races so I know how it fits me.
I would say this set up is significantly lighter, I hope that it will behave good next 5 days doing 10 000m of vertical gain in Slovenia.
Feel free to give advices and wish me luck!

Wishing you courage wit the 10kkm! It’d be great to see routes for both of the trips.
Nice setup. Much cleaner. So serious question though. I get how you can fit a small bare-bones kit in there. But where do you pack all your food?! 5-days is a lot of food. What are you eating? Or will you have resupply points?
Sounds like an amazing trip. Good luck and enjoy!
Cool setup mate! Can you please let me know what you have used so that you can put both the tent and the water bottle on the fork? Some adapter thingy??
Backpack on the back in the summer is a pain in the ass.
