I used by YOB bag on a ride this past summer. To be honest, it's hanging in my bathroom right now as a wallet/iTouch/cellphone/gum holder, but when I used it on my LHT it did fine. Admittedly I had to crunch it and crush it here and there to not fall down and rub on the front V-brake, but it served its purpose as a front bag camera holder. I am now using the extra straps on my Bleriot to help solidify a RBW Bartube bag. If I needed some extra space down the road, for say a S24O, I would mount it again as a back-up, but it's a little awkward as an everyday bag. I prefer my Barbag or would mount a rando bag such as one from Acorn.
