Carradice Saddlebags

Well, my Pendle turned up about three weeks ago, and has been out just a couple of times so far. It's yet more evidence of Sue's Stakhanovite work ethic.

pretty pissed off.
on bishopsgate, at carphone warehouse, waiting. 4PM or so. couple lock up their mountain bikes to a standard single rack the other of mine. i watch. they faff around for a long time. 2 minutes later i go to unlock and see my support has snapped, and is hanging thansk to a bungee cord.
the first one has lifted the bike and rested the bars on my support, then the other one has added weight leaning into the one resting.
left a note explaining i locked up, then watched them lock up, then returned to find it broken, said "please do the honest thing and give me a call to sort my #".

what's funny is i thought i'd get a call.

looks like the SQR system is better than the Bagman support, thoughts?
i have a Junior and Zipped Roll.

Just picked up a Pendle for LEL, +1 for Andrea

Balls, my quick release arm broke off and my saddlebag is stuck on.

Will try and put the arm back on to removed it, doesn't seemed very secure.

^ I've heard the new QRs do this. Warranty Replacement?

Once I get the saddlebag out, I'll have a look and send an email to them.

Bit annoyed, as it's going to be my audax bag.

Should it go straight to the WTF thread?

Just to clarify I love Carradice...

Oh and sorry if repost...

How do you know who made them? I can't find a single name in my Camper Longflap--- purchased sometime in the early 1990s (and almost continually used since).
P.S.: A little tip: the cotton duck is quite well suited to treatment with wax--- Barbour Thornproof Dressing. Treated its not quite as waterproof as my Orlieb bags but sufficient to my needs.

the name is usually on the little Carradice label on the inside

No little label inside! Only label is the (sewn on) logo... announcing on its flap--- as if it was not clear--- that its a Carradice bag...

I've got an older one with no name. Must be a more recent trend at Carradice HQ.

Probably Sue though. Go Sue!

Im looking to get a nelson longflap for a bit of light touring as my frame has no braze ons for racks and panniers and touring using a rack held on solely with 4 p-clips was unsurprisingly a bit of a nightmare last summer.

I think i'll need the bagman 2 expedition quick release support, but will this fit a san marco concor? Just worried about the proximity of the plastic shell. If this is an issue then i might as well get the one without the quick release as i've got a brooks on another bike.

Without any braze ons im right in thinking i'll need the seat post collar as well arent i?

It will, that if you don't set your saddle gaston style.

great, cheers ed.

Just got my black zipped roll through this morning made by Andrea
