    I ride a 650Bx47 gravel bike. I tried a Topeak rear loader (sleeping bag, or tent, inflatable mattress, rain gear). That however still contacted my rear rack. So I either sacrifice rack and no rear panniers. I wasn’t ready to reduce my packed gear by 25 litres as I like certain amenities. The Topeak back loader/front loader is a good option and will fit drop bars which you have. I however switched to alternative bars due to hand and arm pains. 12:37

    I'm 170 cm tall. I had the same problem. Could not fit my gear on any of my small bikes. Had to buy a touring bike with 4 panniers. Expensive solution yes, but its either that, or no camping trips on bike at all, I live in the artic north of Norway where I go cycling. Long between stores on my trips and bad weather half of the time needs clothes, touring bike was the best solution no doubt. Even with 1,2 kilos tent and really lightweight gear, still won't fit on my small roadbike.

    like the content! its worth noting that nothing with a zip is 'waterproof' even the best ykk aquaguard versions. consumers expectations and reality are generally skewed when the word waterproof is used. torrential downpour, head on constant water spray. water will get in no matter what.

    Racks and panniers you mentioned. But you can also use racks and drybags (see the setup from Tristan Ridley with a Tubus Vega rack for example), not much different from the tailfin then and very versatile! And also an option for the front.

    The Chinese brands must have solutions for this, they are generally quite a lot shorter than us westerners. Their domestic market of short people is huge. The hard part is to find the good quality product among all the junk.

    Hi I really enjoyed your video review - thanks for posting it. Just wanted to pick up on your point that if it really is this good, then surely all the manufacturers would've gone down this route? I wonder why they haven't? I am still tempted to get one though. Obviously it is expensive but there's also the shipping, customs, VAT charges etc.

    Great to see this issue raised. My main solution is a Carradice rack top bag on a standard, lightweight rack (a cheap version of the Tailfin). Obvious disadvantage is a bit more weight but I feel this is more than compensated for by greater stability and ease of packing & access. One tip for pushing a bar bag out and up, away from the front tyre is to use a double arm handlebar light mount to sit behind the bag and push it forward. Tools etc go in a tool caddy in a bottle cage under the down tube. No frame bags so 2 bottles are OK.

    I tried the Infinity saddle, and found it so-so, but I prefer the Spongy Wonder and Spiderflex. But when I tried to return it -- in new condition -- Infinity wouldn't accept it. So don't buy it unless you don't mind losing the money (or reselling it) if you don't like it.

    You guys got to think outside the box and not try to imitate gear for larger bikes. My Surly Troll (small) uses 26" wheels. That helps. I gave up on official bike packing gear sometime back. Went back to racks front and rear. Usually panniers in front, tightly strapped with no bounce bungies.... and a waterproof duffle on rear rack. Sleeping bag strapped to handlebars in simple waterproof stuffsack and held out from cables and steadied with an extra lower stem and short horizontal piece of fixie style handlebar. Rock solid.
