[RBW] Re: Noisy Bagman support for Carradice bag
Thanks for the suggestions. I just finished the Trek Across Maine with no squeaking at all. On Jun 14, 9:56 pm, ejg egi...@maine.rr.com wrote: Thanks for the suggestions.

You might want to try tightening the small allen screws on the side that hold the rods in place. That worked for me.

Otherwise, remove the rods, lube them with a light coating of bike grease and reinstall. Make sure you put some Loctite on the set screw when you reassemble the part.

It's the Bagman support for my Carradice Nelson. While I like how the Bagman supports the bag I find the creaking and squeaking pretty annoying. Anyway, it squeaks and creaks where the stainless rods go into the piece that attaches to the saddle. The bagman has a bit of flex at this point. The problem is worse when the bag is loaded, but is still there when the bag is empty. Any ideas for removing the noise. This week I am doing the trek across maine and it'd be awesome to not squeak the whole way. Just ordered the new Brand V boxy bar bag and it should be here in time for the ride Thanks EJG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
