I also don’t think a jacket is fitting in my jersey pockets. Does anyone ride with one of those larger seat post bags that extend quite a bit? Some are in the 3-10L range. I would think 3-5L would be perfect to stuff some stuff in, but don’t want to add too much excess weight or bulk. I don’t think a frame bag works given the water bottle holders.
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
Arkel Tail Rider. 8l expands to 11. Perfect for unsupported 200 mile solo rides - extra 1 liter platypus, another half dozen energy bars, thermal tights/jersey/gloves, spare light, regular tool/tube kit, spare folding tire, map,TP, sunscreen.
You don't want a light jacket when the first mountain is 35, cloudy, and windy or to be wearing that jacket up the next mountain that's 65, sunny, and calm.
I have it on a regular rack, although they sell a saddle rail mounted rack for it.
OTOH, there are lots of rides where jersey pockets are ample.
