Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

That look amazing, is there's enough room to put a tent pole in, or just strap it between the top tube and bag?

What you mean by rough? like the edge is sharp or something?

Very jealous of you two.

think my MSR Hubba (snap Ed!) poles are too long. Will need to have a play about and see how I can make it work.

By rough edges I mean they're not finished in any way - just snipped with scissors, and not in a straight line!

Is there's enough room for the fuel tank to sit on top? I tried mine but couldn't as the velcro got in the way.

Yeah I was wondering if the fuel tank will work with the alpkit. We'll see in a couple of days :)
