Kieran, the bag is only attached on the bars and the tombstone. I used a
longer strap on the tombstone that intertwines with the rack, preventing it
from lifting off the tombstone if I hit a big bump. That really helped

Wow, the ride sounds amazing and the bike looks great too! Thanks for

Thanks for the ride report, and the supplementary musings.
