Frustrating day today. The material I bought to make the front mounts is too flexible and also brittle at the same time. I'm looking at another option and it should work but will require a heat gun and paint. Gotta start with a rigid material not soft and flexy. The soft and flexible material (2 pack cutting mats from dollar tree) will make good support for the frame bag I'm making. It will also work for the handlebar bag I'm considering. Nothing lost . The design I came up with will work as a bag protector for the rack. So, it'll get used, but differently. The stem bag is visible and installed!!! #pedalpower #bikepacking #myog
