  • Is it difficult to fit a saddlebag support? I've only ever used my Carradice bag with a proper rear rack. I do have the saddle pushed forward a bit cos I'm an old geezer who can't twiddle so its longer cranks for me. My saddle doesn't have loops either. Asking because I'm off on a long tour in June and I know the bike I want to use. Ta.

  • Hi
    I’ve been using a super c full size and smaller audax bags for over a decade

    One of the reasons I keep going back to them is because the bagman support takes about 60 seconds to fit and less to take off- sadly every time I do it I time it!
    Need about 15-20mm of saddle rail to fit
    If you got a heavy load you can reinforce the bag man support with some struts that fit to a bracket that fits on seat pin or if you have them, rack eyelets but if you ride mainly road not sure really needed.
    Supports well, no sway and no leg rub. Love it

  • Many thanks JohnnyOnions. I'll order one after Easter and try it out. Should complement my 37 year old saddlebag nicely.
    Once again, the hive mind has provided excellent advice.
