one trick i cant seem to find in the forums is, how to weight the bike


like are front paniers(sp?) needed? do you run like 20% weight front and 80% back? or 50%50% or 60%40% or 40%60%?


help would be awsome (wanna know if i need front paniers for my bike trip, or if i can just pile everything on the back and hope for the best)
