Nice. I like the fact it has support underneath the bag (something I find the SQR is lacking). The bag sits very high though, it must have an effect on the ride when loaded?
No more than when I used to have it "normally" / "traditionnally" attached (top straps to the saddle loop), however I was riding yesterday with a significant load (tool kit, camera, mini D-lock, rain poncho, pump, jumper, etc...) and when riding over a bump you can feel the saddle rails bending / acting like sprungs and the leather stretching a bit. Not a nuisance to the ride as very minimal, I just hope this does not put stress to the saddle frame to the point it could fail...
