I recommend you lift the bag off the rack by raising your seat a few inches and compensate with pedal blocks. :)
Seriously though, it seems like you are at an impasse. The large Carradice bag, when fully extended wants to occupy space that the rack insists on occupying. Moving and removing the rack are not acceptable. I don't see how compressing and/or restraining the bag (with a bagman or with cord) to a larger degree than the rack already does could be considered a solution. Such a solution might keep the bag of the rack, but it would mean sacrificing still more of the capacity of your bag. I don't quite understand how removing and reinstalling a rear rack could be 'way too much work'. Once installed correctly the first time, removing a rear rack takes <2 minutes, and reinstalling that same rack on the same bike takes <5 minutes. That's much faster than fixing a flat. Much faster than cleaning the drivetrain. Much faster than adjusting a brake or truing a wheel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
