I have a bike with a B-67 that I sometimes use my Camper Longflap on. However, the bag has to bend around the springs. I've also been thinking about buying another Rivendell bag to keep on this particular bike. Do any of the work better with a sprung saddle? I'm a little worried about the

For not much money or effort you can rig up either a rack or a bracket that pulls the bag back from the saddle and positions it in a more upright, accessible fashion. Whether sprung or un-sprung, tilting a bag to an almost horizontal angle so it can be fixed to the seatpost is asking for trouble.

Probably. But the Sunrace shifters also FEEL really cheap, as well as not costing much. They probably are reliable and functional and everything Rivbike says, but they don't feel particularly nice when I've used them. So I can kind of see the appeal of the Silver/Paul combo for some people.

The handlebar diameter is fine. You crank down on the clamp bolt and the metal just wimps out and bends. You get it tight today, and then shift it a few times over a couple weeks of use, and the metal has bent enough that it's loose again. There is a friction adjustment but it is not strong

I suggest you mark the lumps on the tires with a piece of tape or something. Then take the tires off and install them on another wheel, ideally one with a different rim type. (If you have just one 650B wheelset, switch back to front.) If the lumps are gone, great. It probably was a tire seating
