yes, even frame bag straps just from slight wiggle low pressure dug into my frame.. once they got a little dusty/dirty it only took about 150 miles to leave a divot. bars turning with most of the weight on the HT really going to create friction and dig in (ground though a head badge in a season with Topeak one (same system, flimsier build). Simple fix is a cheap accessory bar clamped on the handlebar lifting the bag from the head tube. Worked great but I did give up and bought the salsa cradle with bar clamps. no wiggle or bounce, no frame rub, no cable smashing, gives you space between the bag/cradle and bar so you can use the tops on a drop bar, and the bar clamp arms are about 3 inches long so you can angle you bag down low on a big bike or straight out on a small bike for more tire clearance. Not knocking this harness, I have one and two other brand harnesses and they all have the same issues. clamp arms with a solid cage out front fixes every issue with a bar bag.... not sure why bag makers refuse to use hardware and only floppy straps.
Where is the instructions to attach the egress bag? Do I have to have that other thing too? It just seems like way too many straps. I just want to put the egress bag on but when I put it on it's floppy
I really love this "how-to" video. It reminds me of the time I called for tech support and had to strain to hear what the guy was saying because he was blasting opera in the background. Lose the damn music. I didn't come here for that.
Slick design. Bought the system with the saltyroll this week
Won't the strap going around the head tube cause massive wear from rubbing?
Thats my concern also. I wonder if it will work with the Restrap Bumper Bar?

How much clearance do you recommend between handlebar and tire to keep the Drybag from touching the tire?
kind regards!

Does anyone know if this works with the nitto bullmoose bar which is a little curved?
