I have a short trip planned soon and I'm trying to figure out how to best load my front rack. I have a dynamo headlight mounted to my Blackburn front rack (no other great options) which makes it difficult to mount panniers. I have a very cheap dry bag (not waterproof but holds a decent amount) that I used voile straps to mount but I'm worried this won't be very secure.
I would appreciate any advice about either relocating the headlight or bag mounting options up front. I've looked at some narrow bags such as the Arkel orca 25L and arkel t28 but I think they'll still bump against the headlight.

Can you move it to the back of the front rack where that strut curves upward just in front of the headtube?
I miss my 620.
That’s a pretty small front rack, so maybe you don’t have room, but you can definitely get mounting brackets that have a bend in them to bring the light closer to the wheel. You could also mount it up top, like a hood ornament.
