I have a small front bag (acorn mini rando bag), in which I carry a U lock, tools, spare tube, sunglasses, lunch, etc, atop a Mark's rack on my Sam. That amount of weight (a couple pounds) seems fine and easy to get used to, but also not totally ideal. I keep doing it because I sometimes have a child seat on the back, which precludes using a saddlebag or panniers, and it's easier to just leave it set up this way than move things around all the time. And access to the front bag for things like sunglasses is really really convenient.
But I do notice a difference: that same couple of pounds in back is not detectable at all in handling, where in front it is. Not the end of the world, but riding no-hands takes a little more effort, for example. Based on this experience, I wouldn't try putting really big load in the front of my Sam though. -Eli On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 1:48 AM, Michael <john11.2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Weight on front rack.
