So I’ve loaded up the Specialized tarmac SL8 for 5 days bike packing, cycling all around the United Kingdom. This list is by no means something to go by as I’ve probably forgot a load of stuff but this is what I’m going with. Please if you can spot where I’ve gone wrong let me know in the comments.

    1. Hope you’ve wrapped some sort of tape around your frame where the frame bag straps are they’ll rub the hell out of your paint. Good luck 🤞

    2. Best of luck to you and Shane keep safe and hopefully won't need the ear plugs enjoy your experiences and the people that will cycle along with ye on your journey proud of you for just been you ❤

    3. Toiletries? Ride Nutrition? Water Bottle Arrangement? No Garmin Varia Radar? I group my packing as follows: Kitchen – Top Tube/Bar Bag, Garage – Frame Bag, Luggage – Seat Bag. I looked at the Spez bike bags, but the Fjal products are not well engineered at all – i ended up going with restrap which continues to impress me. Im surprised you're committing so much space to so many jackets, in the UK weather, id imagine a well selected hooded ride rain jacket would work on and off the bike.
