Patrick, I carry all sorts of loads from a medium backpack full of clothes and a laptop computer, to six-packs of 12-oz bottled beverages, to box of Dunkin Coffee, to camping gear. (not all at one time:) ) I could easily exceed weight limit of wheel and rack before capacity of the bag. I love the bag and leave it attached all the time. I strap mine down with leather straps purchased, I believe, from Acorn Bags. (see poor quality photo) Strapped down, it takes being laid down fine. It actually helps buffer other parts of the bike from the ground and adds some beausage (sp?). Best wishes,
