I’m getting into bikepacking with my new Grail (size XS) and having a blast with it, but am running into some issues with my bar bag. I have this bar bag, and no matter how much I compress it, it bumps against my wheel when it’s loaded up with around 7lbs of clothes/gear.
Given the Grail’s stem shape/measurements, a solution like Restrap’s bar bumper won’t work. I have a 5 day bikepacking trip coming up in just over a week and am slightly panicked around what to do to help lift the bag off of my front wheel… has anyone else dealt with this or have any thoughts on a short-term solution? Thinking of doing an Old Man Mountain rack for long-term but need to figure something out in the meantime 😵💫 thanks in advance!
