Only question I have is why carry everything for the 361, or any endurance event on the bike?

 

1. It is not big enough to store clothing items

2. you will normally always stop at feed /water /boxdrop point etc. every 70 to 150 km. If so, you only really need what you can carry in your pocket.

 

Well that is my limited experience. I have done a number of 200, 300 and 400km rides unsupported and I have never had an issue with not being able to carry everything I needed on my person. Ok, I always tape a 3rd tube and patches to my frame as well as lights. But that is it.

 

All these rides are done with minimal stopping, typically every 100 or so km. Granted if it is hot and serious MTB territory then bottles are an issue, but they ain't going to fit in there anyway.

 

I don't get the need to turn your bike into a trailer. What for?

A trailer ...........that good be a  good idea :ph34r:
