Swift Zeitgeist vs. Rogue Panda Kaibab
I need a new handlebar gear storage system, and it's down to the Swift Zeitgeist or the Rogue Panda. I'm torn which to choose.
I've been running a Salsa Everything Cradle, but I've started using clip-on aero bars, and the cradle clamps get in the way of the aero bar clamps. That's why I'm making the change.
I'm pretty familiar with the pros and cons of a stuff sack and harness system, so the Kaibab looks familiar, with the advantage of not taking up handlebar real estate and putting the weight closer to the steerer tube so it has less effect on handling.
But I'm intrigued by the easy access and capacity of the Zeitgeist. I'm just wondering if it would annoy me by being more bouncy and further out front, or interfering with hand positions on the tops. Also, it's not quite as weatherproof.
Anyone have insights about how much the Zeitgeist effects handling? Or how nice it is to have quick-access pockets? Which one would you choose for multi-day (possibly a week or more) trips?
For reference, I'm on a drop-bar gravel bike. Routes vary from smooth gravel to rough jeep trails to a bit of PNW single track.
Thanks.
