The all purpose solution, Blue Loctite, will help with slipping loops, though I do use a VO bag support on the 29er thanks to the absurdly big wheels.
I've carried 25+ lb loads in saddlebags using Viva loops and have had no problems with breaking or slipping, but I've not done this continuously for a long period since shortly after the Vivas came on the market I switched to a Tubus Fly and panniers. I don't know about the Regal, but I use Vivas on (original style) Flites and the bags mount fine; turn the loops outward as someone suggested.
