I am starting to plan and want to do more bike touring but don’t know the best way to carry the tent and stuff.
Someone I know just took a waterproof backpack but I saw you could attach something on the back to distribute the weight, I doubt I can do it on this but I don’t really know what I am doing.

I’d get a handlebar bag, frame bag and seat bag since you can’t use racks super safely with that frame
with this part: [https://www.tubus.com/Schnellspanner-Adapterset-large/71600](https://www.tubus.com/Schnellspanner-Adapterset-large/71600)
and with this too. [https://de.ortlieb.com/products/seat-post-mount-mounting-brace-300-mm](https://de.ortlieb.com/products/seat-post-mount-mounting-brace-300-mm)
i can use every fine tubus rack or racktime rack that i like. or almost all of them. this is a quite cheap sollution to carry up to 25kg without actually heavy loading your frame.
Explore the Tailfin system, I use it on both my carbon frames, with dual bags on the rear + tent strapped on etc, 5 tours in 3 years
Rear frame + the Tailfin top bag, or add side bags or all three, compatible with thru hole and quick release.
to start, theres few ways to go about. maybe in ranking below, from cheapest:
– backpack + bungeecord tent to handlebar. for weekend out this might suffice. n cheapest. not great for comfort for your back, but can get job done.
– can look at those 10-15L saddlebag for clothes+misc in place for backpack. this may make rear heavy, but you retain bottlecage on frame. + tent at handlebar
– in frame bag. this has better weight distribution as heavy stuff at lower center gravity but you need to decide where to relocate waterbottles + tent bungeecord to handlebar.
the above you can get by without need to figure about racks n theyre cheaper , at expense of limited/smaller carry loads
