Ignoring the tyre clearance thing... I have 6" of post on my road bike and the Pika fits perfectly, still just enough room for a light attached beneath the seat collar.
Boring pic:
Tent - obviously depends on the tent but you can squish a fair bit of soft stuff in either bag. Make sure pegs are packed in something tough to stop them rubbing through your tent or out of the bag. Poles would need to be strapped on the bike somewhere else...

Contemplating buying a RD Viscacha as contemplating some proper touring next year and want to start using / testing kit now. Am a bit worried it will be quite a tight fit - I do have 6" plus of seat post and just over 8" between rails and mudguards - but should I go for a Pika if it is going to be tight? Is 2l difference that much. And - really sillly question coming up - do you get any of yr tent inside, or does the tent get strapped to outside. The touring I've done before involved Ortlieb panniers.
