hiya new to this bearbones biking, is there a list of companies/suppliers of bike bags accessories etc, going next week with a couple of experienced blokes so should get some inside info then

3 of the main companies for luggage
-Wildcat
-Alpkit
-Revelate designs

I use the wildcat luggage, really pleased with them and we're prompt with delivery. I've coupled the harnesses with sea to summit dry river bags as they're bomb proof and reliable.

If it's your first trip, don't try and carry a day's worth of water. Try carrying a litre and top it up as you go along

Hi Mart - you made it over here then
Neil is on here from time to time too

I found the best way to learn was just to do stuff and see what works for you.
No two bikes and set ups are the same, after all it's all about choice and what works for you

Looking forward to next weekend

mart, neil gave me the link to here, looking fwd to next week as well, voodoo thanks for the info
