I had a nightmare of a commute this morning.
Borrowing a KlicknFix and BigXTop bar bag to try out for commuting.
First issue, I didn't install the KlicknFix properly so after the first bump it swung down so the bag hit the mudguard.
Then the main support bar in the BigXTop bag snapped clean in half so now the bag couldn't even stay attached.
Then I noticed as a result of the bag resting on the mudguard causing rubbing on the front tyre, the anchovy in the tubeless tyre had loosened/partially escaped, causing a constant flapping and risk of sudden deflation.
Then I remembered I hadn't properly inflated the tyre anyway.
Then to top it off I realised I hadn't re-indexed after fitting new wheels so I only had use of about 3 gears.
Finished my commute with the bar bag stuffed into a tote bag which I wore like a musette except it was trying to strangle me.
