How big?

Hi all,

My brother-in-law and I are going to attempt our first tour this summer.

It will be a 3-4 day jaunt and we will be credit card touring.

The question is how large a pannier will I need to do this? I pack light and will be bringing a few changes of clothes, cycle repair tools and tubes, and will need some room for food as there are not a ton of places to get quality food along the way.

The panniers I am looking at have a capacity of about 2300 cubic inches, is this over kill? Should I just buy a big trunk bag and handle bar bag? I dunno? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

All the Best,

Erik
