The idea of an oversized cage wasn\u2019t entirely new, but Salsa\u2019s concept was pretty groundbreaking. With the intention of stowing items that are significantly larger than a standard water bottle\u2014almost <em>anything<\/em>\u2014the Anything Cage gave birth to what we now refer to as cargo cages. Fast-forward some years, and other companies created similar cargo cages, bag-makers created packs designed for these cages and bags that bypass the cage altogether and mount directly onto eyelets on fork legs and downtubes. Here&#8217;s our complete list of cargo cages, Anything bags, and other fork-mounted carriers. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"thumblist-3col\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07.jpg\" class=\"media-img\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07-740x493.jpg\" alt=\"Salsa Anything Bag Bikepacking Anything Cage HD\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07-233x155.jpg 233w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/salsa-anything-bag-07.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3.jpg\" class=\"media-img\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3-740x493.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew the Maker Many Thing Sack\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3-233x155.jpg 233w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ATM_Many_Things_Sack-3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2.jpg\" class=\"media-img\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Manything Cage Peanut Butter\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-45663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/manything-cage-bolivia-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some bikepackers\u2019 packing styles demand a bit more gear than what can be crammed into a typical three-bag setup\u2014a seat pack, frame bag, and handlebar roll. And some trips simply require more gear, extra water, or additional food, especially those in sub-freezing temps, water-starved landscapes, or on routes that offer few resupply opportunities. Using cargo cages or braze-on mounted bags to expand your packing capacity is a great solution for such expeditions, and it\u2019s never a bad idea to pack all of your gear on the bike instead of on your back. Make sure to scroll down past the list to see some examples of how we pack cargo cages and fork-mounted bags.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes all the Anything-style cargo cages, eyelet mounted bags, and rackless, fork-mounted carrier systems we could find.
