The Carradice Bagman QR support works well, as does the other device that clamps to the seatpost and has a small QR frame to which the bag straps. OTOH, if you don't have a saddle with loops, use the Velo Orange loops, which, unlike the uspeakably bad Cyclo loops, let you install and remove the straps rather easily. But this is not as convenient as the Bagman or the whatzizname. > It only takes a few seconds to undo the saddle straps on a saddlebag. > I have a few Carradice bags for different jobs; a Barley for day rides > and a Nelson Longflap for touring and shopping and I take them off the > bike whenever I lock it up and it's no trouble at all. > > On Sep 27, 12:06 pm, Forrest <ftme...@me.com> wrote: > > I have a Nitto Top rack (R-14?) on my AHH, and I'm considering getting > > the Sackville Large saddlebag.
