Yeah, I saw that too. But I usually start out in the morning with between 6 and 7 pounds of water on my bike, when someone says they want to carry 8 to 10, I question how realistic that is.

With your history of ultra light weight, I would trust you to have only that much, but I don't buy that from a lot of others that say that.

A saddle bag with no rack should handle that much weight without any problem.
