Just catching up with this thread after a few weeks. What is wrong with the Salsa Cages? Did they get re-called? I was going to get those damn.
I want to be able to easily take them off!. My CC only has a single mounting point on the front. So I was going to try and cable tie the other two mount points. The gorrilla do seem better for what I want. However as you can see in the picture Ed posted, the metal bolts or screw are going into plastic. So over time that plastic is going to wear away, no?
Who has got either of them already - opinions please?
Also since we are talking about the Trangia's - my Trangia mini has been awesome only used it a few times last year, and handful this year - so impressed. But I wanted an extra pot/pan so I went for this set from YellowStone The small pan is the same size as the standard Trangia mini. So if I want to I can take the large one and the mini and all the bits fit nicely. The pan handle from Yellowstone is better than the Trangia one. The set is only £8! The quality is not as high as the Trangia but if all you want to do is boil some water for a couple of cups of coffee for the thermos then it works great.

I enjoy frame and saddlebags when not carrying camping stuff, but spare clothes etc. But you could save ~1kg by using drybags (300g vs 1400g) instead of panniers but still enjoy low center of gravity and the benefits of lowriders.
I fit my sleeping bag, mat, bivy + tarp in one of these drybags. Then clothes + food/snacks in the other. Lightweight lowrider alternative to bikepacking bags.
