Made the choice to go for an endurance bike (canyon endurace 7 al)rather than gravel and somewhat regretting it.
No mounting points for racks so I went with the Ortlieb Quick rack. Onto which I strapped the Ortlieb seat pack, upside down. Works like a charm and I will probably adopt this style to xc bikepacking as well. 🙂
Also the tire clearance isn’t too progressive: 42mm in the front and 35mm in the back. I added an ali express tire insert in the back to be able to run lower pressures, since the first tire got a snake bite the very first ride. 😅

Why put a saddle bag on the rack instead of just a simple dry bag? I feel like you’re paying a weight and efficiency penalty for no upside.
Endurace Allroad would be a good choice.
