Well, I bought a pizza rack and Restrap rando bag. Pretty pleased with the results. No hurty back. Feels heavy at first but when you're up to speed it's barely noticable, and should be able to carry much more than my previous setup.
Might be worth extending that front mudguard somehow (bit of plastic, or chopped other guard). I found the Restrap Rando Bag absorbed a lot of water from the bottom when riding in the rain. The Magnets are so cool though, make on/off such a breeze.
Oooh, good intel. Does the water make its way into the bag at all?
I am so pleased with it. I got a swish new bike at the tail end of last year so this one has been somewhat abandoned since then. Feels nice to give it a new lease of life in this way, but I do need to make it a bit more theft-proof.
