Pelago large I think. Bag is ILE porteur rack bag (also large, I think)

Has taken me a couple goes to get used to attaching it. Bit more faff than a basket bag (because you can't just drop it in) but very capacious and has expansion straps etc for carrying big loads.

Wondering if I can do anything to make the quick release buckles less tight, they're really tough to engage right now.

I think the rack you are using isn't quite what the Ile was designed for. If you compare it to a soma porteur rack, the support at the rear of the rack is only the width between the straps, so the clips don't need to be very tight to secure the bag.

It's not so much the tightness of the straps, more the tightness of the buckles, they just take a lot of force to engage/disengage.

Have actually grown to like it much more now that I've got used to it, but still wish the buckles were fidlock or something.
