I’m looking for ideas on what to use for gear and bags. I’m just getting started out and don’t own any bike packing gear but do own lots of backpacking gear so I’ve got most everything covered. Some questions I have are:
– good rack for canyon grizzle AL6?
– good pannier bags that are waterproof
– are frame, front triangle bags good?
– good bags and frames for fork mounts?
– any other good bags or gear that is highly recommended?
If you don’t mind taking to time to share your experience and thoughts on my questions or something you want to add it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey dude, I’ve got the grizl al 7, same colour! I’ll list out what upgrades / gear I’ve got.
Redshift stem Redshift seatpost Tail fin rack Ortlieb panniers
I had a bike fit and the guy recommended I change handlebars for narrower ones. The grizl by default has crazy wide bars, I was so much more comfortable after changing. The redshift kit makes a huge comfort improvement in my opinion, but pretty expensive. I ride my bike a lot so considered it worth it
When I go on trips, I’ve got a Msr hubba hubba that I attach to my handlebars and then I usually strap some stuff to the top of the rack in addition to the panniers.
