• Surprised that weight hanging off the arse didn't bother you.

    I don't mind 1.5kg on the bars, if it's in a good holster. But weight off the arse is annoying. Sadly if riding proper MTB a backpack wins, but is annoying.

  • MTB Bum bags are a pretty good option if you want to keep weight off the bike, particularly ones with a bladder - frees up the frame for a full bag.

    I've had a bad time on the mountainbike with a backpack before because of the swing side to side, but I have trail running pack that works great. It's a BD Distance 8 which fits like a limpet and doesn't affect handling. all of their mountain running packs like the Blitz crossover pretty well for for activities like climbing and mountainbiking where you don't want to compromise mobility.

  • Was only 2.2kg in the seat pack so was fine, will be even better once I get the exo rail underneath the saddle to stabilise it further. Annoyingly without it the bag sagged a bit onto the dropper so wasn't able to use it. The rail should sort it out

    What holsters is anyone using on mtb?
