My Large Saddlesack is permanently on my bike. I was using zipties to attach bag to rack, but some people say that the zipties damage the bag, so currently it's only attached to the saddle, and it rests on the rack. I need to figure out some new attachment solution.
I don't understand why one would use Irish straps to attach bag to rack. Irish straps are great, but where do you use them and doesn't it block the handy big opening? I take my bike on fire roads frequently. Those fire roads are either steep themselves, or found at the top of steep paved roads. So I go up and down steep roads all the time; the Atlantis and Saddlesack handle flawlessly. Weight up high has not proved to be a problem for me.
