Hey, Andrew- Nice looking Bombadil! I have the Raceguard G-ones that are sold on the riv site. I really like them on dry roads and gravel. Haven't really ridden anything else on them, but I hear they don't do well in wet conditions. They feel really fast and comfy. They eat up a ton of road

I'd give Wayne at The Touring Store a call. Poke around here first: http://thetouringstore.com/ I have no affiliation with Wayne but I have bought 4 racks and 4 bags from him. Love the Tubus/Ortlieb setup. Works great on an Atlantis. I have a 53 Toyo. On Monday, August 21, 2017 at 2:57:57

Not a Riv but this is my off road touring load . shown 27.5+ (3") For longer tours I can either run bags on the forks instead of the water bottles or panniers. I have a custom being built around 27.5 x 47~48mm WTB

Nice thing about 2 nights is it's basically the same stuff you'd bring on one night, just a little more clothes and food. I've experimented a lot for S240

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

I have never done a touring/camping on a bicycle and hope to do it one day but I have done tons of research on it. 1. Develop a minimalist attitude and pack light. Try to bring things that you need and instead of things you would like to have. Easy to overpack things. My research has told me

Also a great resource is *bikepacking.com*. Most of the photos here are packed too unwieldy for me. I prefer a more compartmentalized and streamlined look. You'll see lots of variety on this website, even basket bikepacking. On Monday, August 21, 2017 at 12:57:57 PM UTC-7, John G. wrote: > >

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

@ Patrick. Pemmican stores indefinitely if prepared properly (jerky dry enough, tallow rendered properly, proportions and mixed properly), though I'm not sure if that's been tested in hot desert country. You likely need to keep it solid for shelf stability at warmer temps. @ Drew: I eat

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

Ok. Somewhat related question. When I see people's bike packing setups, Especially the ones without panniers, where is the food being kept? Or are people just eating protein bars and stuff for dinner? I always bring food to make, since that's one of the most fun parts about camping to me. But

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

I have to say that, as beautiful as greenery is, the desert scenes -- Georgia O'Keefe's country -- is hard to beat. I recall Edward Abbey's paean to desert beauty, Desert Solitaire; worth reading. Question: how long does pemmican last when properly stored but not refrigerated? And how do you

I rendered my own tallow from suet. Getting 100% grass fed is critical, both for nutrition and for it staying solid. Here are my notes: ~~~ Grassfed Beef: 40 pounds heart (dried to crisp, roughly 10 pounds total) (no need for it to be heart, but lean cuts. Heart is usually cheap) 20 pounds suet

[RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

So many options, depending on gear. My suggestion is gather together what you are taking and pack it and ride it, even for a short ride. You'll learn a LOT. Including taking only what you need, and absolutely want, to have to enjoy and be warm and dry and fed and hydrated. In short, don't over
