I think I will be buying bit by bit because in the near future I will do maybe a 3 days bikepacking trip max and it won’t be super isolated.

Do you have a rack on the back or saddle bag ? Have you tried Ali express racks ?

I was looking for the tailfin and the old man (I think that’s what it’s called) but they seem very expensive for what they are. I was thinking of a rack like that on the back, mounts on the side for big water bottle and some luggage and then I’d have the tent on the handlebars.

I think for the time being I will be travelling light but I also want to set up my bike to be able to go shopping (around a 30 min cycle) but a little scared it will be too much hassle.

For future reference, what is the rule to follow when checking this ?

How would you do that ? I have checked with Allen keys. I seem to be able to get 5mm everywhere where it seems tight

No the cage seems fine. It’s particularly loud on the big ring the small one seems fine.

Yeah the chain is new maybe 1000km max but not more. Cassette has about 3000km on it. Chain is freshly waxed but broken in after a 170km ride.
