Great vlog Katie hope ur feeling better now and looking forward to ur big ride coming up 🏅👍🏅
Outershell Adventure handlebar bag is terrific. Like all the side pockets for stuffing in things. Actually you have mentioned this bag awhile ago which triggered me to purchase it. Use it a lot so thanks for the great tip.
So many miles and cycling adventures. If only those pieces of kit could talk! Great video 😁
Topeak seems to make a good one that is similar to he saddle bag that you showed. Thank you for the video this was really good!
Love my OuterShell front bag! It’s a great size and so easy to access. I have it on my gravel bike and it’s perfect. Too bad they’re so expensive, but the quality is worth it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bike packing bags. You should have a look at Alpkit Sewell just looks as good as the bags you have mentioned.
It's going to be carradice for me, yeah they're a bit heavy but it's so easy to access bits and bobs in the wide open-top format that I can't possibly go back. Using a bagman support they're rock steady and don't shift at all. And you can put more stuff on top of them like sleeping bag, bivvy etc with bungees too. I got mine (carradice barley saddlebag) with a bagman support for £40 second hand and it's a star performer.
outershell is legit, love their bags
I have the same top tube bag :-) I do have a pannier rack & panniers on my old (2008) Dawes Horizon Touring Bike, but that does add to the weight of the bike! However I find panniers more convenient if you need to take stuff to and from work, as the weight is down low, rather than at the saddle. At the end of the day, folk need to use what works best for themselves! :-)
I tend to use a carradice Super C SeatPack on my road bike for audaxing.
Just found your channel through your original fave bikebacking bags video yesterday! Great coincidence and thanks for the info!
Hey, ahhhh glad you liked! Ha well hope you find the updated one as useful :)
I only have a few bits for the ride outs. I have a top tube bag (Tescos own, that they were selling off for 2 quid). I use that for phone, spare tube, padlock and a few munchies. I have an underseat Topeak for tools. For any other carrying I have a Camelback that will take a load of stuff. I used that for commuting and I could get a laptop, charger, change of clothes, shoes and a projector in there. Not exactly comfortable though. I had panniers on the old commuter, but that is because it was set up as a tourer. I don't think I would go back to that style, and would just do more versatile bags in the future. Good review as usual.
Great video, as an ultra endurance fan, bike bags are key, specially the feeding bags I keep forgetting to buy until i have to juggle a bag of skittles out of my back pocket XD Waht are the bags youre going to use on your epic 1000km bike ride and what bike?
The first question I always ask; "Is it waterproof".
They are called bar loops I think! Apidura do a similar bag to the Revelate. Apidura seem v.well thought out/robust but not cheap. Re that loose velcro, a small staple put thro' should hold it secure and is easy to remove. What's happening re your B&M dynamo/charger?
Outershell adventure struck me for its quality, although you can't have well-crafted pieces of equipment at low prices obviously. I will save the link into my favourites; the stem one promises well, seems pretty deep so you can stuff a lot in there and keep everything at hand. Great tips Katie =}
Hey why dont we see you on the purple beast much ? :] Do you ever use a back pack when riding ? i use one for Mountain bikes but dont see many road bikers with them
Those side rings on the bag are called 'D-rings'
Hi Katie, Great video! Two quick questions: which size of the Apidura handlebar do you use? is it the 9 or 14l? I would like to be able to use the same bag both on my road and mtb. Any preference in small frame bags like the Topeak midloader?
Hi, I would like to know if you use some frame protect under the topeak bag.
Katie I've got a topeake small slim top tube bag but no hole for doing charging, think I'll customize mine and drill a small hole. I luv my top tube bag too the only niggle I have is the velcro straps can slip on the frame so you bash the bag with your knee so I must fit some sort of spacer between the bag and frame to try and keep the bag level, do you get this problem too? atb Pete
First bag looks quiet good, but i can't find a link to it. Whats the brand name 'big top'? (can't find it in the internet as well)
Btw. are you still using it?
kind regards
Thanks for that video.
I'm looking at similar products and found the advice very useful.
Great review Katie, i'm liking that first bag, had a quick look and they do it yay Camo, purple and a loads of other colours and looks to be a better option than the Alpkit and Ortlieb ones I was looking at. PS. Your Hair, many many superlatives, too many to list.
Cheers Jonny 😀
Thanks Katie! Question-what size is your Apidura roll bag?
I think the front roll only comes in one size
Bike packing bags are great! Any bike can be a touring bike. I just bought a seat bag and frame bag. I’m taking the train to Northern California and riding back to Southern California along the coast. It will be my first self supported tour in over 30 years.
That sounds amazing! Have fun!!
I am always disappointed when top tube
bags don’t stay centered. Topeak Fuels are
good that way.
Katie, I'm back with more questions :). Can you fit an IPad in the bag you use to keep camera? Also with an bike computer upfront mount, is it easy to access stuff in that back?
Nah wouldn’t fit an iPad up front. Would in the back though
@@KatieKookaburra I ride in Vietnam and always a chance to get hit from the side or behind. I'm trying to do backpacking but need to work as well and would be nice to carry an iPad.
Thank you for replying so quickly.
Great video, but how do you charge your garmin when you are riding Via some charging system on the front wheel?
Either a power pack of dynamo hub
@@KatieKookaburra
Do you use a dynamo hub?
Looking for advice on bags for a Merida silex 7000
I've been cycling for 10 years around Africa (mtb) but only just got this Silex and am looking for tips, tricks, and bags to pack/tour. You seem well versed in this section Katie
Hi katie how much is the bottle cage bag for bikes what is the link to that one?.
In the description
Hey Katie, I didn’t see the link to the first bag- I think you said it’s by big top? Can you post the link for me . Thanks!!
Yep if you Google ‘bog top saddle bag’ you would have found it: www.bigxtop.com/collections/cycling/products/mini-seatpack
@@KatieKookaburra The link is broken and a search doesn't return anything for the first bag. A shame, it was a brilliant design. Perhaps the manufacturer went out of business.
cinch straps.. How do I spell 'cinch'..??
Did I hear you say bivy....get an ultralight tent instead, will probably be just fractionally heavier than a bivy but with much more room and added privacy. and if in the rain, it will provide proper shelter when you are cooking and eating your food.
But I am delighted if you are going bikepacking and sleeping in the wild. It is a great experience provided you are in the right area. Come to Iceland for bikepacking trips, you will love it.
Your home looks like my Pinterest board 😂
is this Apidura front bag the 14L one or the 9L?
I believe it’s the 9L
Hi love your video's
Cheers Eric :)
