I never thought of this as a problem since I have a 44-lb Bruce right now but I'm planning on getting the 20 kg Rocna Vulcan (without the roll bar) for the Bahamas. I won't have the roll bar to grab but I manage OK with the Bruce. I don't think the roll bar will play nice with my Bruce along side. Does anyone on the list have both side by side?
