I have tried to liberate it to cover any outdoor overnight off-road journey by bicycle.</p> <p>That would cover both images. Slow and comfortable, hard and light a bikepacker's a bikepacker for a that an a that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309630 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 15:06:02 +0000 crowriver 309630@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@IWRATS, touché.</p> <p>You know what I meant. When I hear Surly Big Dummy talked about regarding touring I think of something like this:</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/nexusexpedition.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/big_dummy.png"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/nexusexpedition.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/big_dummy.png"></a></p> <p>Whereas bike-packing makes me think of something more like this:</p> <p><a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2016/08/Roll_With_It_Bikepacking_pic.jpg"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2016/08/Roll_With_It_Bikepacking_pic.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309628 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 14:53:41 +0000 I were right about that saddle 309628@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The opposite of bike-packing is flying to Dubai to go to the shopping malls. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309609 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:50:19 +0000 crowriver 309609@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"long-range bike packing rig"</p> <p>That's the opposite of bike-packing surely? BD is for big loads. Plenty of "extreme touring" been done on these beasts to my knowledge. </p> <p>When I owned a Kona Ute I used it for cycle camping a few times. It was pretty good for that, but a trailer is better in many ways. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309608 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:43:41 +0000 Darkerside 309608@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cracking price for the BD. Plus you're worried about chain slap on a forum "full" of recumbent deviants - We Have The Technology to deal with it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309592 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 10:51:33 +0000 I were right about that saddle 309592@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Big Dummy would be fun as a long-range bike packing rig. Suspect chain slap would cut it in two eventually but it would be fun while it lasted. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19690#post-309589 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 10:05:51 +0000 unhurt 309589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>oh NO, they have a Troll too.
