I have a rando style bag of moderate height and just use the rear rack loop and bottom strapping for attaching it. It goes through some reasonably heavy mixed terrain, and doesn't seem any worse for wear. It does have a stiffener inside. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/sets/72157617134694243 It seems like the need for upper attachment increases with the height of the bag. The taller the bag (and increasing the load) the more movement near the top. Also, for route sheets - reformatting and enlarging print is a lifesaver! hope that's of some help. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Three T-shirts Now Available: "I've Got Downtube Shifters..."
