Anyone experience of using handlebar bags with externally routed shifters (I have Tiagra 10-speed). Looking at photos, the clickfix style boxier bags look like they may project too much, but I am wondering about using a carradice zipped roll or similar.
Planning on a light/credit card tour or two this year, ~week long but staying indoors, happy to go for 1 bike outfit and 1 evening outfit. Have a Carradice SQR slim (~16 litres) which I use for cummuting and can use, but am considering if I will need a little more space/accessibility and if so whether to go for handlebar bag, in particular for stuff needed in the day (+ stem/small frame bag if it's not enough, though would like to keep access to 2x750ml bottles), or to get a rear pannier rack and 2 small panniers(http://www.carradice.co.uk/ranges/carradry/carradry-front-universal-panniers-old-design) then likely ditching the SQR slim. Bike (Genesis Vapour Disc) has rear pannier mounts but ~no chance of using front pannier rack.
