Single eyelets on our Hillbornes is definitely not a mistake. These details change over time, that's all. I can't comment on why a small load on the front of your Hillborne handles poorly while a 30 pound human near the front doesn't. I've run15-20 pounds on the Nitto Mini+platrack on multiple s24Os on my Hillborne and it was great for me.
