That's a lot of weight up front, but it will be nice once you dump some clothes along the way

I was worried about that, but the test ride was good. Both the sleeping bag and clothes are pretty lightweight. I would have liked more weight out back, but I haven't yet found a saddle pack that doesn't interfere with my legs while pedalling

For sure. I'm lucky I don't have so much seatpost showing on the road bike, my 18L ktm bag sits well behind, not a single rub so far.

Still, when I tried the extra weight up front I didn't like that point you turn too sharp and the weight takes over. Fingers crossed you don't get any issues.
