Damn. 3.5kg is not much at all. I was considering looping my super C through my cambium but I guess I better not. Carradice site does mention that it's for 'metal' bag loops but not something I noticed until I went looking just now.
Has two strap mount positions to accommodate a wide range of bag sizes.
The new Classic Rack is based on a vintage design which has been re-engineered to allow it to securely fit Brooks, Rivet and similar saddles with metal bag loops. In keeping with Carradice’s ethos, the new Classic Saddlebag Rack is manufactured entirely in Lancashire by one of our trusted suppliers. -
Hadn't noticed they'd changed to plastic. I used a classic rack for a good few years on my metal one. Left some hefty dents in the aluminium, but never looked like it'd fail.

Cambium + Carradice Classic rack = No Dice.
Bag and rack total weight was 3.5kg so hardly overloaded.
Luckily this happened as I rolled my bike off the +/- 2" step outside my flat not while I was riding.
The way they snapped makes me beleive that had I had the bag strapped directly to them they may still have failed at some point during my ride today so I'm very glad the rack maybe accelerated the failure.
I bought this as an 'All Weather' saddle but I think they all have this fibreglass cantle plate now and only special edition models have the metal ones.
I fitted my older C17 with the metal plate and did the ride I had planned with the bag on the rack and it was fine.
