For anyone interested in additional storage, look into this setup from Nashbar.
It's small, lightweight and for its size holds quite a bit. For me it got about 10lbs. of weight off the rear wheel and distributed it to the front. The only downside I've noticed so far is with the extra weight on the front wheel, it wants to flop over when parked. Hasn't been a big deal though. For both pieces-$32.50 US shipped (timely too,<1wk). Well thought out and practical setup. Waterproof too.
May not be for everyone. It mounts to the bosses for the C Brake and then for extra stability to the fork crown reflector/fender mount. Does not interfere with the brakes AT ALL! Even worked on my suspension fork.
