I'm getting a saddle bag made by bigxtop and am wondering whether to use it with the carradice bagman or their SQR block thing. I'm thinking the bagman could f*ck up the saddle rails over time? All the pics I could find of it are on sturdy brooks type saddles and I'll be on a flite mostly. The bag's not super large, it's about the size of their handlebar bag. Any suggestions?

I have a bagman, and although I haven't had it long I can say the attachment block that clamps to the rails is fairly broad so there's no movement or rubbing. Also it is coated and bevelled.
As long as you're not running carbon or carbon wrapped rails I think you will be fine.
