Hey folks,
Looking to do a couple of mixed terrain tours using the cx bike and am trying to get a bike backing set up that works for my small bike but still gives me a reasonable amount of carry space. What ideas/suggestions do you have? Main issues are:
Handlebar bags - struggling to get a bag that fits between the drops (only about 32cm) usable space. Apidura compact still needs rolled too much so can fit limited kit in it. Now thinking a harness plus my own short and fat drybag (something like an outlieb compression one)
Saddle bag - again small bike means small space! Once the bag is fitted, how much space do you still need between it and the back tyre (with no rear suspension)
Frame bag - I found one that fits!!!
Guessing it's a case of trying them but some pointers would be good
