Hi all, I’ve been using my Krampus for grocery runs lately with great satisfaction.
I have ziptied a plastic crate normally used by local farmers to transport veggies and the setup can easily hold 10+ Kg. I’m fantasizing about using this setup for bikepacking too, to transport what I normally strap to my handlebars: a dribag with my sleeping bag and my sleeping clothes plus a kangaroo pouch for easy to reach food. It would be sensibly lighter than the 10kg groceries but it would still suffer some devastating abuse off road soo I was thinking about a sturdier solution and the bizarre idea of a similar crate but made of carbon or some other sturdy but relatively lightweight….. do you know of anything that could resemble that? Thanks!

You think a sturdier solution is made of carbon? I don’t believe so, I brought a carbon saddle once and my bike fell against the floor and the saddle was cracked immediately.
If you want sturdy stick with what you have. The only reason to go carbon is weight and I don’t believe the cost would justify the savings.
