How do the big saddlebags connect to the seat. i dont use a normal saddlebag because the velcro strap shreds my shorts (big legs).

thanks for the answers.  this is a great resource.

Hi my name is Nick! I am thinking about getting into bikepacking but i have some questions.

where do you get those badonkadonk saddle bags (any dealers in tucson)? does anyone know a place in tucson where i can try some pearl izumis x- alps on?

whats is the best cheapest setup?

Im thinking about getting a talon 22 because they are sick. I want to keep most of my shit on my back/badonkadonk saddlebag. i live in tucson, i dont want go out for for a 4000 mile ride, but it would be sweet to shred out like 30-50 miles and camp drink some beers, start a fire, and ride back in the morning.

thanks for holding my hand
