thanks a lot for the info on the caddy workign well

i have pretty strong opinions on this. i'm crossrack + bag in back, freepack sport in front. of the freepacks, i think they do waste a little weight in terms of its internal frame relative to say a pannier backpack like vaude's cycle 25/30/35 line, but then you have the rack weight on your frame. my concerns about weight are just carrying around

i woudl almost switch to the freepack city, but i do need good integrated helmet carrying system. which they exclude from that model
