I've seen seatpost racks but they are only rated at 25lbs.

Has anyone had experience with the Knog Rackless Pannier bags? Or does anyone have better suggestions other than get a second bike?

PS...On any given day I carry a widescreen laptop/cables, clothes, food, and some basic tools on countryish roads filled with gravel and bumps so I need a fairly stable system...
I drilled out a set of Tubus QR rack mounts to fit a solid axle on a FG bike with absolutely no braze-ons. Those, the Tubus seatstay mounts, and a Tubus rack have been dead solid, even with very heavy loads.
