Hi Anne,
I'm coming to this discussion rather late, but your most recent query leads
me to ask if you've looked at the rig set-ups on bikepacking.net? One
specific rig might be yamric's fargo 2 configuration. There are multiple
photos and a list of whatall is in each bag.
Thanks to all who've
Thanks, Lyle, that's just what I was looking for. And thanks,
Clayton, for also recommending the link.

Revelate and Rivendell are two ENTIRELY different schools of thought, each
having their own merits. I own three Revelate bags and sold a fourth (frame
bag): Viscacha (awful name), Gas Tank and Mountain feed bag. All three get
swapped back and forth between my mountain bike, fat (snow) bike and
I see some people use a Revelate front sling, and a more traditional
saddlebag. Like this guy:

So Revelate and Carradice can co-exist on the same bike.

One advantage is that they clear rear tires better than transverse bags.
Even the Junior drags on the rear tire of my size M Fargo -- mostly solved
by a cardboard stiffener -- while a wedge of similar size would clear the
tire better. And, as others have said, no rack and certainly no loops

Thanks, all. As usual, I was exaggerating -- things are not too bad.

Mountain bikes are fun. Take a look at some of SOMA's offerings. They're
one of the least expensive brands that use frame size specific tubing in
their builds. I really like my Juice (set up as a singlespeed) and almost
bought a B-line.
The Revelate bags are designed to be minimalist and fit
I'm still thinking about setting up a dedicated mountain bike for
offroad touring. As I read journals and articles online, I see that
the various frame bags made by Revelate and others are becoming
popular. Like this one:

It's funny what counts as a big bag these days.

Hi Anne,
I wouldn't call the Viscacha small. I think it's about the same as a Nelson
Longflap main compartment. The biggest advantage is probably that the
Viscacha doesn't need a rack for support. Other potential advantages are:
lighter (by half, not counting the eliminated rack), doesn't stick
