Curious! Can see this being useful on a couple of bikes and might stop me buying another frame to be able to carry more.

I made something similar, but less adaptable, by hand bending 8mm di. steel bar to hold a handlebar roll away from an exposed canti brake cable. Got the idea from here:

Worked well -
I build something similar for a tour some years back to carry a big sleeping bag with a shit handlebar harness. Worked pretty well. The straps to hold it in place is a good call. I have been following them on Instagram and might just get one.

I know the title is 'viable alternative to racks' but this might be of interest - apologies if already covered,
A friend is going live on Kickstarter in two days with this; A lightweight rack (5kg rated) that doesn't need any attachments to bars/stem, but clips onto most bikes/bars.

I've not used, but have seen it ridden, and am into it. Will be ordering one (hopefully) to have on hand for those days when a pack ends up overloaded and can stick this on quick.
Also, interested to see if suitable for bike-packing with a roll bag, and how much more space it creates around bars/lights/equipment
