I think this topic has been covered a few times, so a quick run through the archives would be helpful.
To give the nickel tour: - Yes, weight will affect handling. Whether this matters depends a great deal on the rider. - As one would think, more weight will affect handling more. - Many people (myself included) adapt quickly to changes in front-loaded setups and it is not a concern within a short bit of distance. - Other folks notice the weight and feel it degrades performance. - 5 pounds is a lot in a bar bag. More than that and you might want to think about panniers. Hope that gets you started! - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
