• rode a relaxed 225km (over 2 days) with gf this weekend up in the Hebrides. Used my large apidura saddle bag for the first time. Good bit of kit but one complaint - when I stand up and pedal the pack wobbles and unbalances the bike.

    Is there a mod that could fix this? Maybe some more grippy material on my seatpost for the two straps to hold to a bit better?

  • It was my first time properly loading my Apidura saddle bag as well, on top of the full bag I had the tent strapped on top, I hardly believe it can get heavier than that (see pics above).

    Other than tightening the two straps on the saddle rails, I was able to further improve the stability by strapping the very back of the saddle using an inner tube and tying it to the underside of the saddle again. You can probably do better with a proper non elastic strap.
