Rack and panniers are wide and probably weigh as much as all the kit you'll stick in a rear bag

Weight saving - though minimal Frame choice - how many frames have rack mounts these days? Reliability - rack breakages happen when loaded/off-road Maneuverability - taking a be-panniered bike along...

Not panniers, just a flat-topped rack loaded similarly to Busta's photo above. I can't believe that it would be more prone to breakage than something cantilevered off the seat post. Weight is...

@tillydog, I use the seatpost rack because it's what I have, it works with the trunk bag and clips on in a couple of seconds. It's an Arkel Randonneur rack, not one of these clamp on the post jobbies....

Has anyone else got out yet this year?We had an overnight doing part of the Southern Upland Way, to say it was cold and wet is a bit of an understatement!

Nice, good effort getting out. What section did you do? Was the riding any good?

More impressive and a lot more scary is the fact this thread is 5 years old.! I looked at this this morning and though it was 2 years tops. Getting old.

Quite a few folk out last weekend on the Bear Bones 'Bach to Bach' ... horrible conditions but plenty of tea, cake and toast to counter the effects of the weather.

We rode from St Mary's Loch towards Moffat. Riding wise it was nothing special, the Yair to St Mary's Loch section is much better.If anyone is interested I have written a short post about it...

HiI'm want to start bikepacking this year and I'm looking for a bit of route advice/opinions. Are the Sustrans routes any good for someone looking to stay as off-road as possible or should I be...

Both - though in my experience Sustrans routes have a tendency to wander on and off road. Plus they tend to focus on going through habitations. My bikepacking tends to head away from these places.

@ScotroutesHeading away from habitations is exactly what I'm looking for. Any tips for route resources?Cheers
