Feedbag With short stem?
Anyone using a feedbag with a short stem? Doesn't the bag press into the top tube while turning?

My $5 feedbag came in the mail today. I do think my top tube bag is in the way. Turning causes the bottle to pivot up to 45 degrees depending on how sharp I turn. It's pouring rain outside right now so I haven't tried riding with it on to see how much steering I really need. I did find I can attach it to my suspension fork. I'm not sure if that's a good idea with the amount of bouncing it'll be subjected to. I'd like to use it to carry a waterbottle.
If I had a longer stem, I think it'd fit alright.
Another option would be to not attach it to the stem, but would it bounce around too much?
