• What's the cheapest non-tiny bikepacking saddlebag solution around? I'm planning a long weekend's CC tour to NL with my kid brother this summer; he'll be on his road bike, and I'm trying to divert him from the way of the rucksack.

  • This is pretty spacious and easy to lash things onto!

  • I've been quietly impressed with my Roswheel cheapo ebay bag. I haven't really stuffed it yet but I've used it twice a week about 2/3 full for a couple months and have never noticed it whilst riding.

  • Old Carradice TBH, with the bagman, although I don't know how small your kid brother is.

  • I've ordered an Alpkit Gnaro as they look pretty impressive for the money, and reckon it should take a compressed sleeping bag so that plus dry bag strapped to seatpost would be enough;

  • When would you need it?

    I got mine off the carradice factory shop on ebay for something like £40 with the sqr block. Have used it for a few months but will soon be commuting by Brompton so going to get a front bag for that and may not need carradice any longer. Fwiw it's absolutely fantastic, swallows work laptop and clothes every morning.
