hippy-
possibly, going to give it a go.
I have a bike with a rack that I commute on if I wanted to go down that route, but I just dont enjoy riding it as much, steel frame, extra weight of racks. Weight definitely makes a difference when you're 60kg yourself.
@MicroDosed™ Ive actually made a fair amount more space in the saddle bag by removing two of the support poles, I can strap them to the frame. Length was the issue. Bag should fit in there too now. Still a tight fit for everything else in the front.
apc
Tent & sleeping mat currently in the saddle pack, space for a very few items of clothing.
Nothing in the frame bag
Sleeping bag in the front - no space for anything else due to narrow bars
I need to increase space a bit and have a few options:
Ideally I would like to fit the tent in the frame bag, but im not sure even with a full frame bag it would fit leght wise (x-small frame), need to measure up. I could also currently put a tool bottle in the second cage mount.
Somehow mount a second drybag to the top of the rear saddle pack for all clothing
Buy stem with rise and wider (flared?) bars to increase space up front.
Thoughts? It needs to be enough for long weekend excursions.
