I have the Frontloader but opted for the rear rack/bag setup because I ride singletrack... too much sway. Front sausage bags have pros and cons, but so far so good. Topeak is a great value for the quality. Thanks!
A rack/bag setup is great. The saddlebag does have a little bit of sway, which can also be taken away with a so called "wishbone". Hasn't been an issue for me yet, also on singletrack, but maybe in the future :) Happy riding!
I enjoyed your review - thanks for postong. What size of backloader bag did you fit? (ie. 6L, 10L or 15L?). I have a dropper post (I see you have a fixed post) - do you have any comments / observations about the backloader being used with the Topeak dropper post adaptor?
Thnx! I used the 10L version for this review, but later swapped it for the 15L version with a backbone to have a little more room to play with. I have not used this with a dropper post so I can't help you there..
I Use a down sleeping bag from decathlon (mt900). If you want a cheaper one they have a great synthetic one as well. If you only need extra room for your sleeping bag, and can already store everything else, I suggest you get the frontloader and A) just strap in your sleeping bag and not use the bag that is included, or B) take your sleeping bag out of its bag, and put it straight into the compression bag that is included :) that should fit nicely either way
@@BoostMountainbiking thank you for the advice! I will have a look at the sleeping bag and that’s a good idea with the front loader! I went bikepacking for the first time last night and mostly successful. Just need to streamline gear 👍

Nice review! What kind of cycling shoes do you use?
Thnx! I use Shimano xc300 XC shoes, with SPD clipless pedals. The same setup I use for XC mountainbiking.

Ive go the backloader and thinking of getting the frontloader too. What sleeping bag do you use? Mine is very bulky and wont fit in either bag
