Bringing back the thread on ultralite packing, as the spring touring season is quick upon us, and some of us may not have stopped touring.

I have to report - to the mirthful edification of some of the earlier thread participants, no doubt - I've gone over to the light side, and ordered a small hydration pack to go with a Revelate seat and frame bag for the upcoming season's bikepacking. Building up that rim brake diamond frame 29er, though I might still stuff a rack on the back as a fender/ emergency 12 pack hauler.
