All that just to make a bag fit.... I don't have a drill- it seems like a lot of work just to secure the bags. I got some two bit bags from Performance that didn't fall off at all. My rack is the Jandd Expedition rack. I don't think that's an unusual or uncommon rack. It was just unfortunate that I ended up with a bag that kept falling off. Since I got the bag the day before I left for my trip, I wasn't able to see if the bags would perform at all- my bike was in the shop and I didn't pick it up until I was on my way to the airport. It was a shock when those bags fell on day one when I hit a bump in the road- plus a disappointment.

I have the bags in storage, but I will need to pull them out for a demonstration for touring. When I get them over here, I'll let you know what kind of bags they are.

The Chicago Bike Show is next weekend, and last year, the Arkel people were there, so I will bring the bags to them and ask them to take a look at the bags for me. I'll have my rack on, so they can demo the bags for me and see if there was something wrong or if I just mounted them funny.
