I'm considering adding front bags to my Sam using the Hub Area Rack. Anybody have any first-hand experience with these units? I recall hearing that the first version without the hoop support suffered from flex, and I'm hopeful that the support solves this issue.
Possibly pertinent info: - I like using my Acorn rando bag with my Mark's rack, so don't want to switch to a full-on rack like the Nitto. Keven assures me the HAR plays well with the strut-mounted Mark's rack, and that three struts can share the same mid-fork mounting point. - I don't want to use Riv's Hub Area Bags due to lack of proper mounting hardware. - I want to use a pair of Lone Peak P-099s, like these: http://www.thetouringstore.com/LONE%20PEAK/LP%20PANNIERS/P099/P099%20PANNIERS%20PAGE.htm. The key question is whether the spread of the hooks on the Lone Peak bags will fit the short-ish bar of the HAR, but the Lone Peaks can be easily modded to bring the hooks closer together if necessary. My ultimate goal here is to use the smallish P-099s (~24.5L) with an Acorn rando bag and my Acorn seat bag for my typical shortish outings of 1-4 nights.
