Hey Gang,

Here's my Rob English folding 2-9 in bikepacking configuration. The rear triangle is detachable and it packs into an S&S coupler box. Here with an Alfine 8 IGH with a J-tek shifter mounted bar-top on a custom mount, but I also often run it singlespeed. Revelate bags, custom cuben fiber stuff sack made by Zpack ($30). I don't wear a backpack with this setup; water bladder in framebag.



Love seeing the bikes on here.

Cheers,
Joe

Here's the latest version of my bikepacking rig.  I've now used my steel hardtail, my fatbike, and my full-suspension to get out there.  The full-sus will get a real workout in the AZTR 750 soon if all goes as planned.  This is a Devinci Atlas, handmade in Canada, full custom build.  I'm using a mix of Bedrock Bags and Revelate Designs gear, along with an Osprey pack.  Between my Bedrock, Osprey, and King Cage gear, I'm tryin' to keep it local!

This was taken during my maiden voyage.  I have some tweaking to do yet, but I'm happy with it overall.  Salsa Spearfish, Revelate Designs luggage, mix of misc. goodies. 

Originally I planned to place my water bottles in the feed bags by my stem, however that turned out to be a very poor implementation which adversely effected handling.  The weight of the water bottles caused a steering shimmy even at low speed, and also preloaded my forks by almost 40%.  I was astonished two water bottles made that much difference. I relocated them to the lower stanchions which immediately shed the shimmy and I regained full suspension travel once again.

So, now that i got this resizing figured out, having way to much fun posting and obsessing about this coming season. Not sure what the bike Gods and my family are going to let me do this year but nothing like tinkering and dreaming and being ready for anything. The Stumpy FSR 29er fully outfitted is what I'm running with this year, Phantom Packs on the rear and middle with custom mini- food bags that hang off the frame, front harness, and a gas tank to round it all out. The kit fully loaded as shown below runs around 8lbs. Standard pack loaded 5 litres water and food for 2-3 days 17-19 lbs.

adamonrope1, I have that exact same bike that I pack with, and using the center triangle (besides shoving things in the bottle cage) has been vexing... what is that pack you have in there? Phantom Packs? I use an Old Man Mountain Sherpa rack on the rear (that I'm currently fitting with the QR mechanism from Topeak's rack system). Also, how are you mounting that bag to your front bar without interfering with the cables?

This was taken at Don Pedro Reservoir in preparation for the Amgen tour, Tuolumne County leg (I spent the night on the side of the road not too far from here to get a good seat before the crowds piled in). Those are road tires I threw on it for this ride.

This was taken at the Bennett Juniper - an older bike with the same rack (it was well below freezing that night too).

Hello kitty, in reference to my front harness, I had to lengthen the front brake cable just abit so that it layed in front of my kit rather than being stuffed behind. Phantom packs did a terrific job setting me up with my frame kit. He taylored my seat bag to accommodate the rear suspension. So far very pleased with the set up. I made a couple of mini feed bags that hang off the frame just behind the steer tube. One accommodates my battery pack and the other is for quick access to gummies.

First, I want to say thanks to all of the posters on here, I've learned a bunch from you as I've been building up my bike, kit and skills.

I am still beta-testing this setup (I guess I'll always be beta-testing).

High-level overview

Niner MCR (medium)
Reba fork (100mm)
Revelate frame bag (from a mukluk large, fits great, very wide, but no issues w/ leg rub)
home-made front carry
crater packs rear pack (not great, replacing)
Dakota 20 GPS
Osprey Raptor 14 pack

what worked great

  • Niner MCR - I've gone out on the Salsa Fargo as well, I prefer the MCR. Why? It's lighter, more nimble and better suited to the terrain (pretty technical)
  • Sierra Designs Taquito tent organizer - I was able to pack my 1 person tent, poles, ground sheet as well as a air mattress in here, all around 6.5 pounds, around 6 inch diameter
  • Frame Bag - carried 3L water, tool kit, mess kit, incidentals
  • Dakota 20 - put my route, waypoints + Arizona Topo map from GPS File Depot on here, excellent navigation
  • Selle SMP saddle - I've tried out a bunch of saddles at this point (Brooks B17, Selle An-Atomica, WTB Laser V) and this one is by far the most comfortable for long efforts I've seen. I love the Selle An-Atomica on my road bike, but I just couldn't get into it on the MTB. This is the least expensive Selle SMP saddle, so it's heavy and heavily padded and I'll probably replace it w/ something less padded. The design is solid.
  • Osprey Raptor pack - carried 3L water, medkit and a few other small items, not much weight on my back, comfortable carry, light

what didn't work great

  • Seat pack - I emailed a bit w/ the maker, the bag is poorly designed. It's not stable and I had to add extra straps to stabilize. I should have not gone cheap and bought a better bag (I am looking at Revelate, Bolder and a few others now
  • Front harness - this one worked inasmuch as it carried my stuff, but on the way back from the campsite, it would interfere w/ the brake lever and would unwind the barrel adjuster, thereby tightening the brake. That was weird. I just ordered a Revelate harness

Old school: Pictures from when we started doing backcountry patrol on mountain bikes on the Chippewa National Forest in MN, in 2003.


Volunteer backcountry ranger (me) with BoB trailer; Simpson Creek Trails, Inger, MN. We carried saws, axes and shovels on the BoB along with camping gear. Primary function was trail maintenance, visitor assistance and education, and first aid. (And yes, there is a collapsible fishing rod on top of the BoB bag.)


Panniers, Trout Lake Primitive, Non-Motorized Area and Historic Site, Marcell, MN. (Patrol partner was using the BoB.)


Backcountry patrol campsite, Trout Lake Primitive Area, July, 2004

We still do backcountry patrol; it's in our name. Primarily on the Chequamegon National Forest in WI. They do let us stay in the regular campground now.
