I have used a Carradice Bagman for a couple of years on my Quickbeam with a tweed Country Bag (obviously smaller than the Saddlesack Medium, but I do sometimes load the Country Bag pretty heavily, so it's still a useful comparison). I have found the Bagman connections between the tubes of the support piece and the anchor they attach to (which in turn clamps onto the saddle rails) to be very finicky. I could never get one of the set screws tight enough to hold the tube in the anchor piece, so for the last couple of years it's been hacked with a John's strap holding it in. And yesterday on a bit of a rough off-road piece of a ride the whole thing came off.
Like Manny, I'd suggest finding a rack that fits. On my Quickbeam, I'm replacing the Bagman tonight with a Nitto R-10 ( http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=146_240&products_id=872&zenid=daf845816b6d8fb7337c0d9f47c9aafb ), and replacing the Tweed Nigel Country Bag with a Tweed Saddlesack Medium. I think they'll match up well, and the R-10 is barely heavier (if at all) than the Bagman. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Manuel Acosta Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2012 5:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBW] Re: Sackville Saddlebag Support I highly suggest a rack, if your planning any outdoor trip. The carradice quick release is great but the actual support starts to wiggle after a couple bumpy rides. The hupe I hear good things only if you plan on packing light with the bag. Anything heavy and the hupe cuts into your frame.

I am thinking of purchasing a carradice bagman support, expedition size, and wonder if anyone else has used this combination? I was originally looking for a silver hupe but they have been discontinued. If you have a used hupe or a bagman support for sale please let me know.
