• Im vaguely planning a trip in the summer and the price of all the kit is a bit of a stumbling block. Anyone had experience with these saddlebags from AliExpress? Can't imagine the quality is great but at around £20 for the basic one and £35 for the supposedly waterproof one, perhaps it's worth a punt?

  • I'm in the same boat. I bought a metro porteur rack which for £30 I was pleasantly surprised at - fits the Straggler with minimum fettling and will take a 20l dry back with some webbing straps to hold it in place. Just need to get about 10-15l more storage so was looking at Blackburn outpost seatpost bags. I'm inclined to assume they're worth paying twice what those roswheels are but would be interested to know if that's true.

  • Bit late to this but I've got a Blackburn Outpost saddle pack. Really solid bit of kit. Packs loads. It does swing a tiny bit but I imagine they all do to some degree. Keep thinking of ways I can add a toestrap to the rear triangle to prevent this but never actually do it.
