I’ve been sourcing my items little by little as I still have another few months before my trip. I’m not entirely sure what the plan is for the front rack and may also add on a saddle bag. I’ll be out for about three weeks in South Island NZ carrying everything. Suggestions of additions? I’m oddly against panniers since I use them daily for my commute, I want this trip to feel different.
Bike: Surly Midnight Special
Cargo: Gemini Cargo Pack, Swift Industries
Cargo Cage: Decathalon – will be zip tied to the front rack, unfortunately no other way to secure it.
Frame: Conquer Bikepacking Bags (Custom)
Tube: Topeak (used for the commute, may replace for the trip)
