I run sintered (metallic) on the back so I can (if I want/need) drag it going down hills and organic on the front for when I actually need to stop.
I also dislike the feel and noise of sintered pads but for the back they're fine.

I usually don't use one but when I do, either my rolled up jacket or an alpkit padded cell inside out and stuffed with clothes, works great and is multi use so no extra weight http://www.alpkit.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16562&category_id=296

How about a Freeloader? http://www.freeload.co.nz/

They've since been bought buy thule http://www.thule.com/en/ae/products/luggage-and-bags/bike-bags-and-racks/racks/thule-pack-n-pedalt-sport-rack-_-pp_100015

or pannier version http://www.thule.com/en/ae/products/luggage-and-bags/bike-bags-and-racks/racks/thule-pack-n-pedalt-tour-rack-_-pp_100016

I've got the thule non-pannier one, it's brilliant

Am still in the planning stage of my Iceland trip but the following has been useful:

The Edge 800 has about 100 megabytes of internal memory. On average, about 75 megabytes is available to add supplemental mapping, activities, routes and courses. When using the internal memory just for activities, the device can record about 10 hours of data per megabyte with every second recording. This equals approximately 750 hours of activity data.

Yup 

I have a http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0085OB0IE/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which will charge my 910xt quite a few times, looking at getting a solar panel for longer trips though

If you have an iphone/pod/pad, how about punkt?
example: http://punkt.luxson.com/bangkok-singapore-cycle/

That, gets a  
Excellent work!

Depends how robust it is really, would be nice to have a power solution for lefty users though.

I use spare chalkbags but if you want revelate ones in the uk: http://www.backcountrybiking.co.uk/product/mountain-feedbag/

About 7 miles from me! 
Enough of the TD topics, time for a 'tour de bristol to bath cycle path' thread.

I'd also be interested depending on the design (lefty stem)

I do quite like the look of those little trailers, especially the http://www.extrawheel.com/ (be nice if it came in a lefty, could probably rig something up using the truing adaptor)
But I don't really fancy carrying the bike then having to go back for the trailer when the terrain becomes unrideable.

I see your bikepacking and I raise you…

Midget Bushtrekka The Flagship Bicycle Trailer

and only 26kg!

UK too, we pretend to be in Europe sometimes

Depending on how you define affordable, PHD are the way to go http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/ (arguably) the best down clothing anywhere, can either use their custom jacket designer or send them an email and they'll be able to sort you out.

Awesome looking trip, thanks for sharing
