    Step 5 – Remove after one ride because the rattling drives you absolutely bonkers!!!

    indeed the noise would be embarrassingly bad.
    best idea is to stuff gloves and bandanas inside to muffle the noise.

    Are store-bought or used seat bags so expensive? I’m all for a good hack, when there’s a need. This seems kinda unnecessary and as the others wrote, requires more work than the guide shows to make it usable.

    Line the inside with felt.

    Hacks are about personal style and ingenuity so I give dude props. As for the noise, two simple solutions: first, stuff an old sock in the thing to double as a noise damper and rag (I do this with my cage rocket) and second, use a small bungee cord to stabilize the thing with the stays under your seat.
