think it's upside down. Thanks for that link, it's very interesting.

Does anyone use the SQR, which seems to eliminate a bunch of the failure points that the bagman has, and costs 20 quid less?

I think modern bagman models (bagmen?) have fixed most of the weaknesses.

Mates that have the SQR for commuting duty seem to like it, with two minor reservations: with long use it can start to rub/wear the back of the bag, and to get the bag on/off it needs to pivot slightly so it drops, which means it may not work for small frames with not much seatpost showing.

I feel like people are frequently reporting the screw in the middle of the bagman has failed but maybe I'm doing a confirmation bias thing.

Bagman has worked really well for me for commuting with a lightweight bag on roads, but I wonder about a loaded super c on bumpier terrain.
