I'm always a bit bemused by the lack of corporate transparency and fanboy review honesty on components like this. So here's the Tracksterman take on this Sonder rack designed for Sonder bikes. Strap in...

A boy in a bivvy bag! Tiny tent disaster or stealth camp brilliance incoming!

I bought the 30l version on the left a couple of years ago and haven't really used it until now. No bungee cord, and the longer side pockets are definitely more secure. However, the larger capacity combined with its very simple design doesn't work quite so well for me; it doesn't sit as nicely on my back when loaded with the same amount of kit I'd put in the old 20l bag. Not a deal breaker, not bad enough to make me spend money, but if I was getting one from scratch I'd go for the smaller of the two.

Turned the wheels today to test the new setup and especially the weight on the front end. Different but all very manageable. The temptation to just keep riding was strong. The big world ride starts soon. #cycletouring #biketouring #roundtheworld #cycling #ortlieb #surly #arkel #alpkit #happy #excited #timetofuckoff
