Ok... so if you don't want a rack on your bike, you really need a the extra device to stablize the bag. That sounds reasonable. I was looking at a friend's Jandd Mountain bag III this weekend. It's a big bag that uses bungees that hook into the eyelets on the rear drops. Rather ungainly looking, but apparently very effective in stablizing the bag w/o a support.
Just wondering what the Carridice bag and the support would weigh... roughly (gee... I'm slipping into 'weight weenie'-ism, aren't I?)
