I must be missing something
Is this just an R bike problem?
With my K bikes I do lock the clasp that attaches the bag to the frame, not to prevent theft since getting them on and off is hard enough for me, but to ensure they will stay in place if I crash and maybe the bike won't crush me.
I have on occasion forgotten to ensure the other two clasps were in place (really dumb, and thanks to those pointing cage drivers I never lost anything.) Since I only carry clothes and camping gear in these bags on longer trips, I never lock them. My reasoning is most thieves don't want what I carry there and, if they do, I would rather they took it than ruined the clasps on my bags and also stole my stuff.
Again, what am I missing?
