framebags are, IMHO, one of the first things you need when bikepacking. No trouble whatsoever. I think everybody on this forum that uses one has the same opinion.

West Coast of Scotland sounds nice. High up (Ullapool / Cape Wrath) or lower (Glasgow/Fort William)? There’s still an offroad crossing between Aberdeen and Fort William lingering in my head.

Those Mungo bars are from my house dealer in the Netherlands. http://www.singlespeed.nl. You should be able to get them from on-one directly. http://www.on-one-shop.com

I’m planning a late spring/early summer trip on my Pompino, probably around the West Coast of Scotland, though I haven’t quite made up my mind yet. I could decide to go somewhere flatter.

How did you find those mungo bars?

When you buy it you get two different lenghts of rod for the seatstay attachment. I only tried the long version (as pictured above). With the shorter ones later movement will be greatly reduced. Maybe I’ll try that this summer.

The rack is currently only used on the road and dirtroads. As said that is the best surface. For real offroad I would suggest a bit sturdier rack or use it only for light loads. Maybe beneath a saddlebag as support or a place to pack some extra clothing etc.
