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.

Have you used it on a frame with a straight top tube by any chance? I've only seen photos of it put on MTBs and bikes with low top tubes/tall seat posts. Just wondering how it would fit on my straggler.
