• 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.

  • Ok, good info - thanks. Might go for the SQR anyway as I could move the bag between bikes more easily. OTOH from a bit of utfs in this thread I understand the bagman can be used to strap drybags & stuff to. Decisions, decisions...

    Edit: @Landslide that hit me as well a minute ago. I'm not saying I'm not an idiot though, just trying to recover some composure.
