Re: Is this 'bikepacking'?
Bike packing is clearly bike and camping.
Removing one ( camping or bike ) means it cannot be bike packing ( how far you go is irrelevant)
Nothing wrong with touring but its not bikepacking anymore than a sportive is or an enduro race is.

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
Church ones are outside usually round the back. Any with tended graves/gardens will have a tap. Some really old churches with really old graves dont have them.So is it common for churches and graveyards to have taps to refill? good to know

Its clearly.a bad idea to inflict clamping forces on a carbon tube and almost certain to end in disaster ( esp if you give it enough time )
