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
Which ones are you looking at?
Well, you might use what you buy for other trips.
2300 ci is a midsize (to large) pannier. It isn't huge.
I'd suggest not expecting to carrying alot (of weight) in a handle bar bag.
