What’s the general consensus on the new cambiums (plastic saddle loops) for bigger luggage I.e Carradice super c.
Mine didn’t even last a single, 1-2” kerb drop with a Carradice on a classic rack on it. I’m glad it broke so quickly as having it break while riding and dump the bag into the wheel could have been pretty catastrophic.
At the time I searched for other examples of failure in the plastic back pieces and found some (not many) that had broken with the bag strapped directly to them.
A C15 will probably be closer in shape to those other saddles. Depends on your seating position/riding style though maybe. I find the C17 quite wide and best suited to more upright and/or sedately ridden bikes.

Having come from a fabric scoop shallow, then on to a flite 1990 and switching between a turbo, would the shape of the c17 or c15 be similar or those who have switched. I know this is like asking how long a piece of string is.
