I used to be bummed that my Ram didn't have fork braze ons for a front rack.
But i ended up using a small Arkel handlebar-mount bag and discovered that I

anyway.
I also like the way a handlebar bag lid opens away from,
My wobbliness may be contributed to by my super slick rolling IRD RollerDrive
needlebearing headset. That thing is so smooth.

Berthoud GB 25 bag.
VO Randonneur rack.

bagless in favor of no racks and just banana sax and bartube bags.
VO rack weghs 220 or so grams
GB 25 bag is 600+ grams empty.

It holds enough stuff and stays in place when riding (including fire roads
and some trails) while still being easy to remove/replace when I want to.
