Q45 Century Setup

[Dwight Brown]

Finished my second century ride on my Q45. I’m doing weight training and trying to trim myself down, so I am not focused at all on trimming weight or streamlining aerodynamics or friction.
Here’s my setup from front to back (clickable links)
CruzBike headlight mount
Cygolight Ranger headlight
Extra light mount for other bikes
Crank brothers MTB pedals
Escapist wedge bag under boom
Anker power bank (in the wedge bag with a cable to my phone so it's always charging)
Q45 wide sweep handlebars
Phone holder
Bicyle Bell
Cable routes with zip ties (to prevent the cables from rubbing my legs!)
2x CruzBike bottle cages
Bike Under Saddle Bag (for holding spare tires only)
Rear Safety light
CruzBike touring & commuting rack
CruzBike Trunk Bag
Schwalbe Clik Valves
Electric bike pump

Nice setup!
Thank you for the links, especially to the wedge bag.

Do you feel any wobble in the back from the rear rack bag? How much weight do you typically put I there.

I haven’t experienced that, but I’m not putting that much in there. Less than 10 pounds. I’ll be on the lookout for it if I start doing any bikepacking
