Backpack or Other?

Camelbaks have great build quality, and the bladders seem to resist going mouldy much better than cheaper option - but there's no reason to avoid saving money.0

Thanks guys, took in all your info and advice, had a long think about the riding i will do, and went for a back pack, Vaude juicy , i can get my spare tube in there, pump, patches, puncture repair kit and other bits and bobs, could even get a small bottle of water in there to top up my bottle on the frame if needed, thanks for your help.0

Am I the only one that can not get my head around having to carry something on my back when i have a perfectly good bike to do all my carrying for me?
I use a Topeak beam rack and top pannier - never has any problems with it even on the bumpiest terrain0 -
found this in tesco
for that price you could almost buy one for every trip :P
In all seriousness though, in what way is this going to be bad? Is it worth it for a casual rider who rides only a couple of times per month?
I might dander down to tesco tonight and see what they are like...
EDIT - after a little looking around I found this. seems like a nice pack.0 -

Technically you're still carrying it...
The bike seems to handle a lot better if I keep the weight on my back instead of on the bike. Not sure if this make sense though...0 -
^^^^ What he said, I notice the wieght less on my back, a proper pack with the two verticle, two horizontal straps is very stable and you can carry a lot of weight without noticing it or it moving around0
