I've got a pair of center-mounted fatties. When I try and carry them with this backpack my boots keep clipping the tails. Not only is it annoying but also potentially dangerous walking on gnar ridges. I tried hooking the top strap below my front bindings to give more clearance but this made the strap anchor rip off the pack because it was holding too much weight. What to do? Just got a new one off warranty and trying to figure out the deal.
