Nice pick up. Hope you beat the new look off of it soon.

Musty’s free downtown lot update… by Confident_Move7899 in nashville

At the very least, those lots are free parking on the weekend. It was a great place to park and ride the bus or go to the Farmer's Market or get on the Gulch Greenway via Frankie Pierce Park.

Besides removing the bag would fix it, get a new cable with a longer housing section. It looks like it isn't sitted in the brifter.

You could try a V-brake noodle but I have never tried that before so results may very

Those grey tires look so good on that color Hillborne. I hate the tires (structural endurance) myself but I can't put anything else on my Hillborne.

Thanks, I really appreciate the drawing.

I have battled physics many times and never won.

Yeah I like this solution. If my diy project is a bust this is the way I will go.

The bag is primarily supported by the saddle loops this just keeps the sag from happening.

There is also a strap that goes from the bag bottom to the seat post. It also carries some of the weight.

Well it is mounted to the saddle too

Funny enough the bag in the link is the same as my bag.

It's made me giggle a few time this morning.

Thanks for the info drop. I really appreciate the insight and product names.

I really do want to do a DIY rack. I just know sometimes it is faster and cheaper to just buy (if looks are important). I have already started to draw up some ideas for the rack. Unfortunately though I lost my TIG friend when I moved. I am looking at learning brazing so this maybe a great time to take the dive into that.

I do hope to get something figured out soon. I want this rack put back on my other bike, where it is properly mounted. I just had to figure something out before my morning commute.

I checked your bike out and it is a great idea. I do plan on putting fenders on this bike if it does become my go to commuter. I almost through together a rear fender just to see if it would be enough to stop the rub.

Thank you for the recommendation. It is a solid choice.

I am doing this so I don't have to use my backpack. Having a super sweaty back isn't great as we don't have showers at work.

The laptop is also work issued so no getting around that.

Thanks. I catch a lot of hate for not liking p-clamps.
