I'm a light rider and have run Rene Herse tires in 26, 28, 32, 35, 38 and 48mm widths over the same terrain which is mostly paved roads. Starting at either end of the spectrum, the 26's felt like ice-skating in the best scenario but would flat if I even looked at a gravel road. I wasn't willing

Ortlieb used to make one called the "Downtown." I have one and it's super sturdy but it's unwieldy too. It's even uglier than a regular bag, but it gets the job done. Mine looks like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144622913931?hash=item21ac32898b%3Ag%3AiWAAAOSwRj1io6Vv&nma=true&si=je6AynF2qQs6ZM
