Has anyone ever had any issues with not being able to see their front tire because of their handle bar bag? My concern is that if I can't see my front tire it will be more difficult to keep my front tire out of expansion joints in concrete. I just got my new Arkel panniers and handle bar bag last night. I had just enough daylight left to mount them and ride around the street in front of my house. I'm sure that I probably need to give it more time than just a quickie ride but it felt pretty awkward not being able to see my tire.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
