I was looking for a smaller bag years ago, bought an Ortlieb and it was missing the parts to mount it so I used the Viscacha again. There's nothing wrong with the Vis really and it's probably useful to have the extra capacity spare but I like the full waterproofness and ability to grab the drybag off the bike. Wonder if it would work with my dropper post MTB

Is there a tailfin alternative?
I need to commute with laptop from a few months and seems the best option.
-
Unless I’m mistaken the dis o is the only only option for no mounts and even that doesn’t do thru axle

Carradice sqr slim worked well for me for a laptop carrier

I used this with a laptop for a few years. Takes a full change of clothes and the laptop. I did leave shoes at work though…

Carbon bike? if not, Ortlieb just released a quick rack and you can buy a seatstay kit

JFC, I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on this forum for racks, kindly fuck off over there, eh? 😉

Heading north for 3 days, tent, sleeping bag, phone and jumper. Let’s see how this goes.

How north?
Fucking freezing beyond the wall today.

Didn’t get any further than the Humber, as no trains available to bring me back from planned 1 way ride to The Border. So a round East of England 3&1/2 days 515km trip, London - Peterborough - Horncastle - Caister - Bridge - Brigg - Lincoln - Grantham - Huntingdon - Bedford - London. Lovely weather, except cold and freezing today

Hydrapak or platypus in my road framebag. Have a note to check out the Apidura one (must've seen it in a video) but that would only be useful in a horizontal setup like Revelate I guess? Or a bag with no divider.

Just packing for my DIY TnR ride and I've fitted a dynamo and light so I don't have to worry about power to devices (or light if I ride early or late). Anyway, the tent/mat/quilt bag is sagging the harness a bit like usual but it's resting on the light but I think a voile will sort it out. Finding a long enough voile strap I can get in a week is a challenge, any ideas what else I can use?

In a pinch I used something like this I had in the garage to hold my bag off the back wheel: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/RIO-Direct-Tensioning-Adjustable-Motorcycle/dp/B08FJ161RL/) - it actually worked pretty well and was quite light. I think the one in the link is bad quality, but there are lots of others if you search 'tie-down straps'
-
Unpacked it a bit ago as I didn't want to leave the down in there for the next week; will repack tomorrow morning before work and take a photo. Anyway, Oveja Negra bar harness with a dry bag. The harness is designed for a little sag to give space to grip the bars and until I used the light that was fine, never touched the wheel but the light becomes pointless if it's blocked by the bag. Strapping would lift it up I think... anyway, stay tuned for a photo.

I've seen similar pockets on the side of a saddle bag made by @PatchCCW at Collins Cycle Works (Instagram). You could send him a message about making you something up?
