Indeed I did. Hence designing my photo bike with Dear Susan, so my front rack is mounted via elastomers @edmundro idea, which dampened all vibrations. It’s great for transporting beer because of that.

But the problems I had with a solid rack was fairly long term (couple of months). And heavy lenses. I think you’ll be fine with a smaller camera for a short trip. Top tube bag sounds fine.

We'd be gone for a few months on the road as well..

Not sure elastomers would like the heavy loads usually I put at the front. Will think about it though.

My rack takes 15kg. Four mounted to my downtube. I reckon you’ll be fine though. I only had problems with my biggest lenses (16-35 & 70-200) A Fuji will be grand. Just pad it well. Maybe with that dampening foam.

Or get a front suspension fork?
