Anyone here used an Ortlieb rucksack adaptor?

Me and son are going on holiday by bike this year, not touring - arriving then staying in one spot.

I've got ortlieb back rollers, was thinking it would be useful to have one of their adaptors for carrying all the usual holiday detrius around whilst we're out and about, but the adaptor itself looks a bit bulky.

Anyone used one and got any comments?

whilst it looks like a great idea.... it does seem like more bits and bobs to lug about. to date, I've got on OK with the shoulder strap

I think it looks a bit heavy and cumbersome. The shoulder straps are ok for short distances, but don't cut it with loads of stuff needing to be carried a long while distance.

I'm considering buying a rucksack from a charity shop and fettling something myself.

fettling is always more fun... even if it doesn't work the first time
