Picked up two 1 gallon canisters (fuel + water) for my trip this summer (water for camping, fuel more for piece of mind than anything else). I've got the standard Vario sidecases, and I noticed that they fit almost perfectly inside the lid. My thought is to use a simple velcro strap to hold them in place, one on each side, keeping the weight nice and low. The Varios are rated at 20 lbs, and as long as I am careful about what else I put in the cases, I think this will work out well. Am I overlooking something? Is there a reason I should avoid doing it this way? Ideally I'd pick up different (ie. a bit more rugged) panniers and mount them externally, but that's not financially viable at the moment. Christmas gift to myself next year, perhaps
By the way, I've scoured these forums over the cold winter months planning and prepping for this summer. I haven't posted much, but have learned a lot from everyone here, so thanks for that
