Just get the QR without the bagman support. Can always replace the leather strap with something less fiddly for the seatpost loop

What TvH said. I'd be against bending the rods, defeats the purpose of having them there, waste of money. QR mechanism will be at an angle but doubt it's a problem. Thrustvector's comment above confirms this perhaps between the lines?
I can test at home by removing the rod and posting a pic. Although Pendle 11l is much smaller than Super C.
Also, Condor shop if you're in London.

Looking at these (again) for christmas.
I'd probably go for the super c saddlebag, I prefer buckles to straps and have the matching panniers. The longflap looks appealing but I feel it's one of those 'if you have the space you'll fill it' situations too.
I'm having a think around mounting it though, I'll be commuting so probably a bagman qr expedition. Am I right in thinking that this will hold the bag out like:

?
It would be nice to have the bag sitting closer to the seatpost, as they hang naturally, like in the pics here:

Does anyone have any opinions on bending the rods so they're lower? I guess then the qr mechanism might be at a funny angle?
