Fitted the rack yesterday, had to wrestle with the mounting bracket a bit - I think its designed for taller headtubes, but it's on and seems fairly sturdy. Yet to test it with a load.
Need to sort out a bag for it now. Had planned on getting an Alpkit Airlock Xtra, but they've sold out.
Next idea is to use a Carradice SuperC Racktop bag, mounted sideways, as it has a rigid base and plenty of strapping and "should" fit between my bars nicely.
If anyone has one floating around that is surplus to requirements then I'd be happy to take it of their hands. And again if anyone has any bright ideas or other suggestions of sutiable bags.
The added bonus is that for my planned camping trips, I can mount my sleeping bag on the front rack, and relocate the carradice to the rear rack. Win.
