I rode random fifty-odd kms close to home to see if anything falls off, and particularly to test whether the rear wheel stays true. No issues, everything felt solid (even as I hit 50kmph a couple of times or hopped potholes). I got a DSLR and some tools in a carradice bag strapped to the rack. I could feel the weight at times, but the bike handled well. Steering did require some attention on narrow singletrack.
I did feel a bit stretched on the hoods, but ramps and drops were comfy.
