Speaking from experience (Acorn bag on a custom made 8" wide rack), the velco is entirely inadequate to stabilize the bag. My friend and I designed a custom decaleur with the primary goal of laterally stabilizing the bag, and it works like a charm. http://www.appleblock.com/decaleur.php Although reading your post gave me the idea that I might put some bigger and stronger velcro on the bag bottom and improve performance even with the decaleur.
