Thanks for the suggestions. I agree about packing more than you need. I do a lot of backpacking and have already learned that lesson, so hopefully I'll apply that to bikepacking. The more trails I ride, the more I see where the rigidity of a rack is a concern.

Thanks for the answers folks, that makes sense.

I'm looking at getting my bike set up for bikepacking. I've noticed everyone uses seat bags and almost nobody puts racks over their rear tire like a typical commuter bike.

I get why people don't like panniers, but I don't understand why people aren't strapping dry bags to a rack rather than, or in addition to, a seat bag.

What am I missing?
