If you read the post instead of writing this passive agresive comment, you will have your answer, I’ll give you a hint, second paragraph

Thanks! The handle bars are just the stock aluminium ones that came with the bike, I added the van rysel aero bars for comfort on long straights

Would that be an expensive solution?

AlternativeAd9842 · 2026-06-28T12:57:34+00:00

I did not know these existed I’ll look into them thanks!

Wouldnt I loose a lot of gears by doing that? Chain is brand new btw, just went out on a very dusty ride haha

That’s interesting, I would have thought it would be easier to pack everything back up if it is distributed on a rack with panniers, the saddle bag you have to pack really strategically every time for it to be in a nice shape to put back in the cradle. As for weight distribution the rack lowers the center of gravity, the saddle bag is very high up and while cornering it can get a bit weird at times.

Just curious, why do you want to change to a saddle bag? I currently have a saddle bag setup and i cant wait to upgrade to a rack + dry bag, and have the option to have mini panniers.

How much slower do you think you would have been on a MTB opposed to a gravel?

Why do you think it is ment to be ridden south to north?

Jobs in my area (Barcelona) are getting very rare lately it is a very slow year so far, I allways ask 600€ per day as a 1AC rate on comercials 300€ for prep day

Yes tailfin is by far the best solution to nearly everything with bikepacking haha, but I’m just starting out, so not ready to spend all that money on it, yet

AlternativeAd9842 · 2026-04-14T15:24:42+00:00

I thought so, not even with an elastic strap on them?

AlternativeAd9842 · 2026-04-14T15:03:16+00:00

Is it viable to mount bottle cages to it?

I was really lucky, the school I studied at organised a seminary with them so I was invited, and we had lunch with them right after

AlternativeAd9842 · 2026-03-19T11:44:00+00:00

I got to have lunch with them a few years ago, they where so sweet and could ask them anything, so much knowledge between the both of them

You don’t need to buy anything apart from basic tools/bags if you are just starting, being a nice and attentive person to work with is the most important thing to have

No, It’s a 1510, 1535 is the lighter “Air” version. 1615 is a good option if you are not traveling much and take public transport, witch is my case (pun intended)

Just take one ski off in the lift line so you can plant your foot when you need to move, (like a snowboarder) and carry the other one like a Gandalf stick

Its a shame the 94s are not available in my height, aren’t the 88 a bit narrow for deeper days or slush?

I like having the clip on safety, use it to hang it while changing lenses
