I couldn't really compress it a lot because it was pretty empty. Obviously not ideal but for taking it out the first time but I couldn't be arsed filling it with things I didn't need. Just wanted to see how it felt and make sure it wasn't going to rub awkwardly.
I'm certainly not going to take a framebag out on a 40 mile pootle around the Peak District. Any shopping that I do when I'm getting close to home will end up in the saddlebag and any resultant swinging will have to be put up with.
It's not like a constant swinging, just when I'm out of the saddle stomping up something steep. I think you'll get that with anything that has a bit of flex.
It's main use is going to be for audaxing but I'm not sure if I'll use it for 200k rides, probably just for the 300k+ rides where I need to have some more kit at hand. Everything else will probably just be the Carradice. I'm going to commute with it this week just for testing purposes but I think it'll be fine.
