[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 576785, member: 1211"] To tell you how out of the loop I am, I'd never heard of bikepacking. Maybe I thought it was just an updated term for touring? I know how much, and how often, newer generations love to change terminology for established things. So yeah, bikepacking. There are a lot of videos about this, and I've just started watching them. This one has a ton of information crammed into ten minutes, but I found it really interesting. Once again, it reiterates how much of bicycling is about wind and resistance and not as much about weight and road. Of course, it is also about those things, but streamlining your profile is HUGE. Talks about bags, but also fenders, handlebars, positioning, etc. Just so much cool stuff to try to understand and optimize.
