This thread has gone a little off track as it's onto a track about saddlebags because they offer a way to get around the lack of eyelets on most carbon bikes. maybe people could add comments about bikepacking bags and CF bikes they might like for touring. I like Carradice saddlebags, but there are other luggage options to pair with a CF bike
Where is bmike?

I'd think 8lbs would not be a concern. I'd tape if chafing though. Chafing and scratching are concerns in the world of carbon, to the extent that lowering and raising (in particular) of a seatpost is cause for manufactures to issue cautions.

so i want to experiment with this carradice bag thing. scratching from the bag swaying back and forth can be mitigated with something covering the frame..


what about hacks to prevent leg rub? (or rather leg bump)
