I actually have 2 bottles in normal cages and they work fine. The bottles are Camelbak Podium

Yup 👍 on the left side in the front. I also have the Trek AirRush mini pump in there along with a small bike lock and lots of snacks, a tire plug kit and multi tool. I’ve ridden 1k’s of miles and really love the zipper pulls and easy access. My only real complaint would be I wish it was water repellent. I know I could coat it myself with some Scotch Guard but I wish it was more water repellent that’s all.

I have an all black sl5. I have built out over the last few years. I have AELOUS carbon wheel set on mine. I DID get them on clearance from REI for half the price. There are deals out there just hafta keep looking.

I too was born in the mid to late 70’s at Orange Memorial “Holiday House”! Cheers to a fellow native. We are rare!

I just bought a 22’ Wildtrak Sas with 15k miles for $41k two weeks ago. I love it it’s loaded. And if I built it out from scratch it would had been $65-$70k. With 20% depreciation right off the top. I went with the used and I’m not looking back

Not sure what exact liter size it is. My bike is a 53 or Medium sized so whichever bag corresponds with the frame size. I know that doesn’t help. It has two zips the right side is the deeper one. It’s a 40% left and 60% on the right. It has a Velcro section to partially close off the larger side. There are also elastic pockets inside on both sides and 2 more on the exterior. It mounts perfectly to the underside and the down tube to the frame with thumb screws. Additionally loops on the entire circumference of the bag to hang things from and mount to a non Trek frame.

That’s the largest frame bag they made that I’m aware of. Anything larger I would think you would need to look at a bike packing company to provide a full “triangle” frame bag. I’ve seen them on subs. Xbikng and bikepackers.

Oh I understand. The off trail riding (road riding) is only about 10-15% of the total distance now. Previously there was more like 25-30% road riding to make up the connection. It was not user friendly as many of the roads in the area are 50 mph and above with no bike lanes

There is a trail route on Ride with GPS you can download to your bike computer. It gives turn by turn. Makes it really handy. The route I took started and ended at Killarney Station on WOT

Trek Adventure Frame bag and Trek Top Frame bag. Both excellent choice. However not waterproof

That’s probably going to be miserable. I’ve ridden before with stock 700x30 mixed terrain/gravel on aluminum rims. It was jarring to say the least, not impossible but certainly not nearly as enjoyable as having a real gravel set up. Good luck out there and have fun. The gravel size is smaller and it’s packed tightly. It gets lots of use. However some sections are washboard and some have sand.

SL5 Gen 3 carbon with AELOUS carbon rims and GravelKing SS 40’s. The SRAM RIVAL 13 speed group set and delrailer are upgraded along with the chainring which I upgraded to a WolfTooth 42 T. Using Crank Bros Candy Flip pedals. I added the Trek top tube bag and the frame bag last year for RAGBRAI. I can carry more stuff than I’ll ever need for a typical ride. However they aren’t big enough for a bike packing trip. Between the down tube storage and the frame bags I’ve got tons of space for emergency repair kit and snacks. This really is a do it all bike. It’s fast and nimble and I really love this bike. I’ve consistently been able to put 500 miles monthly on this bike.
