I am choosing to use my old set of Back rollers. I used these in Europe and several US tours. What more can you say about these. They are super tough. Reliable. Well made. And above all there is very little to malfunction on these. I had Jannd front panniers but sold them on eBay. Will be purchasing a small set of black ortlieb fronts to match my rear ones. I'm also using the classic ortlieb handlebar bag that had been trusty and reliable as well. I'm concerned that an over sized stem and bar 31.8 will need some sort of adapter to fit. I was using standard size bars before. But as with all of these products you just have a sense of confidence that all your gear is in one piece and clean and dry.
In addition to the panniers I own the carrying system for all ortlieb panniers to convert it into a back pack. I'm debating if it will make it on tour or not. My wife is bringing an ultra lite marmot day pack for a just in case moment and im tjinking that will be enough.
It's so easy to overpack for a tour.
