Finally about to try it out. Alpkit 35L bag (filled to about 20L) and strap, looped round stem with heavy duty Velcro round the bottom tab all kept away from the frame on a 250g set of aero bars.
Sits very securely right over the front axle, should keep steering light.

I use a jagbags silk liner under my quilt. Super comfy, makes it like a real bed and has a pillow slot.
Probably 150g you may not want to carry but I love it. Worth it for a good nights sleep in my case.

Cheap, toasty, keeps yer tabs warm

Simply strapping a drybag to your bike works for a while but all the shaking around will eventually take its toll. My preference is for separate harness and dry-bag but appreciate that others might see things differently. Was kind of hoping to reduce the shaking/wear and tear to both bag and bike w...

I was really looking to relocate weight rather than increase it. I wanted a full frame bag decades before I ever saw one, but now that they're ubiquitous (almost obligatory as distinguishing feature of bikepacking) I have reservations. Apart from the high cost or sewing skills needed to make one, co...

Hi, Not so much a bikepacker as a rider of a comfy, quite versatile road bike (GT Grade 105, Schwalbe S-One tubeless) looking to strap stuff to it for extended, self-supported multi-surface rides. Looking at bar bag set ups I can't help but notice all the unused vertical space above and below horizo...
