hi all. now back from a great week riding through some beautiful countryside, albeit mostly in the rain...
to answer a few questions:
the orange bag under the saddle is my tent and yes my thighs do touch it at the bottom of the pedal stoke but it doesnt rub and i dont find it annoying at all.
the blue dry bag and the rear bottles are supported on a minoura sbh-300 turned upside down with crank bros "the claw" bottle cages. The claw bottle cages hold 1litre water bottles very securely and the blue dry bag (containing sleeping bag, mat, pillow and towel) is bungee'd to the top side of the minoura. it still needs a little refinement but holds everything securely with no swaying.
yes its not ideal having the water bottles so close to the rear tyre but ive got to carry lots of water somehow! i just emptied these into the bottle in the frame when needed but they didnt actually get that dirty.
ive also decided that id like to change the mtb shifter to a bar end shifter so i can mount a second fuel cell type bag for snacks/camera/bear spray. anyone got a sram 10spd bar end shifter for sale!?
