Yea.... nix that idea, if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
Now my new question for you guys-
I installed the blackburn rack that came with the bike but haven't purchased a trunk bag or panniers yet. I'm ruling out panniers because I'm not planning on doing any touring soon and my commute is around 5 miles or so. I'm trying to decide between a trunk bag or a handle bar bag at this point. My thoughts are that a handle bar bag will able me to ditch the rack and some added weight there but may be more akward when riding? I'd like to be able to carry a lunch, my keys, cell, wallet, notepad, camera, maybe a jacket in this bag.
I'd also like a smaller bag to stay attached at all times carrying a spare tube, patch kit, quick tire tool and my wallet, keys, cell on shorter rides when the above bag isn't necessary.
Any ideas? Things that work well for you guys?
