"Touring the coast gave me LOTS of time to watch the cable stretch and the mount ("Fixer 3") rotate forward with each bump in the road, until the braided cable eventually broke, one strand at a time. Miles from the next town, I had to use our spare tandem derailleur cable I purchased weeks before in Oregon. Let me emphasize that without the cable your bag WILL eventually "droop" (rotate/pivot) downward - no matter how tight you squeeze the mounting clamps to the handle bars - and your bag will hang pathetically from the front of your bars." -G. Zigler, on Topeak Tour Guide
