This system came in cheaper that either a Carradice or Relevate bags.
Hi staehpj1,
This combination sounds good to me, but I'm having a hard time imaging how the eVac Dry Sack is secured to the rack.
I'm a taller rider on a size 59cm frame, I'll have plenty of room just behind the seatpost and under the saddle.
Do you have a picture or a discription of the rack, bag and meathod of attachment?
Michael
