Has anyone had any luck attaching extra bags to their seat bag? My road bike has annoying cables up front which prevent me from using a typical handlebar bag, so I'm always looking for innovative ways of carrying more with the seat bag.

I've got a Mr. Fusion 2.0 and can't find any good attachment points. I did find a cargo net that does a decent job, but the netting is a little too sparse, and I managed to lose my windbreaker the last time I used this method. Still I might give this a go for letting my 2nd bib air out, or something like that, particularly if I've got a mesh bag to keep it all together.

Dig through the diy sub-forum here. Someone a while back sewed up a sort of wrap-around bag for the seat pack. Iirc, they were hauling sandals in it.

Oh cool! That is not at all what I thought you were talking about, but that is super sweet.

Btw there was some issue with your link. I think the "!!" fell off the end of the link. Here is a working one.

I don't quite have clearance for the full tent all rolled up to slide under my seat bag, but I definitely could fit it if I folded the tent flat, perhaps folding it around something like a flexible cutting board, or whatever that material is they use  to stiffen bikepacking bags. Then I could wrap it in my tyvek groundcloth to keep it dryish and to keep the road grit off it.

I've successfully used a fanny pack.

Voile Straps might be in order here. I think the longest they make them is the XL, 32" but you could always link two together if you needed the extra wrap.
