Or, more like, because you had the wrong size bag.

+1 to the added benefit of a decaleur with the Acorn rando bag. I'd used the
bag without a decaleur on a Mark's Rack before, but on a subsequent bike build
I opted to go for Nitto M-13 + VO threaded decaleur. I was surprised at how
much more stable and solid the bag felt with the addition of the
decaleurs do have their place, but with the acorn bag, I wouldnt bother. the
acorn system is very stable and easily removable. I can take my acorn boxy
bag off in maybe 5 seconds. maybe not as fast a with a decaleur, but fast
enough.

The Acorn Boxy Rando Bag doesn't strap to the top of the bar. It's
lateral strings go to the bottom section of the drop on your drop bars
by the barend shifters. They work equally well with M bars. Not sure
about Albatross bars.

One big reason to use a decaleur is that it provides some stand-off from
the handlebar. Strapping a bag to the bars steals away most of the top
of
That is correct. No decaleur is needed. The straps to the handlebar
make it very stable.
