I guess it’s going to depend greatly on the Bike, the size of the Bike, and the load. Here’s my experience: I use the bag/rack combo on my Mercian Superlight, which is a size 63 and acts as my Go Fast Roadeo wannabe. The bike has a waaaaay huge headtube, and has been known to shimmy a bit on long, wild descents. It also has very narrow handlebars.
With the BarSack and a 3-4lb load, the shimmy on descents seems to abate. Steering is a bit more ponderous, but not so bad that it’s top of mind. Would I race a crit with the bag? It’s a silly question, but no, I wouldn’t. Front loads have never bothered me on my Atlantis, FWIW. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
