But there are definitely some that are difficult, "BS" it is not.

Second, what bike do you ride? My comments were regarding one of the twitchy road race bikes were you are rather leaned over. There's nothing I can put on my back at all that I don't notice while riding that bike. My flat bar bike is no problem. Even my more upright road bike is pretty decent. But on my leaned over, twitchy road bike anything at all on the back is noticeable the entire ride.
It's the matter of the bag, and the bike. My Chrome with the sub strap on *can't* flop around. I did share what bag in the first post.
And the bike of choice at the moment is a full carbon Fuji Team Pro on 23's. You know, one of those upright comfort bikes If not that bike then a Fuji Cross Pro.

Guess calling BS stands, huh? LOL
