Thanks, Sean; those are more than very nice, they would be perfect, except that I would worry that the hook + bungee attachment system wouldn't allow me to offset the bag sufficiently on the (much modified) Tubus Fly rack. I actually like this simple, old-fashioned system, but but I wonder if it would let me offset the bags sufficiently to clear the heels of my size 10 American Freedom Units shoes. (Note! I do not sneer at American Freedom Units of any sort, just the kneejerk nomenclature. I am conservative, but I believe I'm not stupid. I am also flippant and like to quote BSNYC.)
The bike to carry these does have chainstays at least 45 cm from center of bb to mid-dropout; still, I had to offset the Backrollers pretty severely to avoid heel-clip. Can anyone comment on the matter above?
