Keep electrics dry and prevent jarring. 

This should go without saying, but not having a strategy for keeping your electronics dry and safe directly affects performance of said electronics.  I kept all of my electronics in the triangle handlebar Jannd Pack. I took a gallon sized ALOKSAK Dry Bag and (what would MacGyver do) some bubble wrap, packing taped the bubble wrap to the outside of the bag and packing taped the corners of the bag in such a way that it form fitted into the handlebar bag.  I fit my camera, PDA, GPS, and extra battery supplies in this makeshift drybag without issue. 

This setup has several benefits:

-If conditions are dry the electronics just sit in the bag, all you have to do is unzip the bag when you need them.  If it starts to rain, just seal the bag and you are good to go.  Aloksak bags are considerably burlier than regular ziplocks.

-If you need to stop somewhere you think security might be an issue, you just pull the bag out of the handlebar bag, put it in your pack and go.  I also kept my wallet in the handlebar bag and sometimes my headlamp…so those items came out too and went in the modified Aloksack.

-The bubble wrap keeps the vibration down, and the handlebar bag rests on the headset…which is right over the front fork.

 
The power recharge cords for the electronics (to charge whenever;) I kept in a smaller Aloksack bag inside of another ziplock, in one of the stuff sacks bungeed to the back bag.  If I knew I wasn’t going to charge something for awhile (PDA, Cell Phone,) those charging cables were just packed inside the back bag….no need to keep anything loose you don’t have to.
