Lastly, given the footprint of your front rack, maybe a rack-top bag that's mounted on the front instead? something like this allow you to strap it directly on the rack with no interference with the handlebar, brakes, and most especially the shifter.
Anyone got any recommendations for a small rack top bag to fit on a salsa minimalist front rack? (Yes I know about the recall).
I normally strap a small dry bag there with sleeping bag in, but would like something more accessible, for food, charger etc.
I have toyed with switching to a rando bar bag but want​ to see what my options are for the rack first.
