I'm with Garth, I prefer my Revelate seat bag to any of the Carradice saddlebags. They are lighter, don't sway and are great for compressing your gear. Also. on rugged terrain, you are often pushing your bike, which can be a hassle with rear panniers in the way.
As a lifelong backpacker, I've accumulated a lot of ultralight camping gear that fit's more easily in the smaller spaces of the frame bags while still providing the camp comforts I desire. While I don't drag along chairs and musical instruments I do bring along a small flask for campfire relaxing. Plenty of bikepackers are not racers BTW, just out to enjoy the outdoors and ride without monstrous loads. ~mike > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
