I'm also just back from the West coast of France,
Did 2 weeks of bikepacking and I'm thinking about changing up my setup.
The thing that bugged me the most was having the majority of lugage weight in a saddle bag hanging off the rear, it really changed up the handling of the bike, when I would stand up to climb the whole bike swings with a pendulum effect.
I have a specialized Pizza rack out front, was thinking front panniers and a full frame bag with no sadddle bag at all.
has anyone tried this setup? - bike is surly Straggler
