Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Small bags to organise stuff within larger bags. Finding it tricky to find them small enough, particularly for frame bag.
Any good tips?

Grimbergen, lovely little campsite with a fridge full of Grimbergen.

1 litre is as small as drybags seem to get

otherwise just use sandwich/ziplock bags and keep spares in case they rip

If the stuff doesnt need to be kept dry try to reuse little drawstrings, like the ones that come with sleeping bag liners or tent pegs that you're not using

Ikea Sandwich Bags
and
Exped XS -M drybags, each size is a different colour, so very easy to tell apart!

It's definitely a Deuter. Looks like a version of this:

I have a Specialized burra burra 5 framebag I got from sigma for £68 on Black Friday that I’m about to return this week. Does anyone want it before I do? RRP is 95

Dibs!

No dibs, thank you!

"Hey guys, I've had a great idea. I know it sounds crazy, but what if we added some metal frames over the front and rear wheels to add rigidity and strapped the bags to those? We could call them, I dunno, racks or something..."

Here it is! There was still some spaces to be filled!

Good budget option I guess, but the straps both on Handlebar Bag and on the Top Tube bag are crap. The bags are swaying on the sides. Had to have additional straps for the Fuel Pod.

Ortlieb frame bag test 1,

Genuinely fully waterproof and air tight!

Need to sort two straps, was on a time limit.,

Just got a bar bag from the Bumbags Project delivered. Really happy with how it looks, fits nice and snug as well with plenty of space for cables and a Di2 junction box. Haven't tested it out yet but the waterproofing looks quite good.

Help...

I need a bar bag,

The Carradice super c nearly perfect..

Black, box shape, size, light mount underneath, waterproof, but it uses the klickfix and sits really high, the swift paloma uses the klickfix rail, so is only a little above the bar, any thoughts?

Bigxtop rando is an option, but it’s now a week late and I need something...

Panniers & racks are a viable alternative to bikepacking, innit.

1.5 weeks late it arrived, very happy, modified bracket works as desired, could trim it a few more mm if I could be bothered.

Did you manage to shorten the klick-fix? Any photos?

I did yes, it needs some finishing, so will update then!

Noice! Looks good!

Oh yes. I also found this what I thought was quite interesting.
