David, maybe you need to try the Nitto R12 - Bens cycle has the best shipped price.

BTW It is usually much less expensive to purchase Carridice bags and racks from UK websites. Any UK products really, Shipping is often quite low or free, and you are expempt from the 21% UK VAT.

Other question: how much weight would be advisable on typical saddle loops (Brooks and SA specifically) and seatpost w/standoff? I've been rolling with the Bagman Expedition QR + Camper longflap for a few weeks with light/bulky loads, and based on the feedback from this conversation, I definitely have some reservations about using it with heftier loads, particularly offroad where it may be bumpier, even if I do have a chance to cobble together additional struts as previously mentioned. That being said, I think I have a better chance just sticking with the built-in loops on my Brooks saddle plus a stand-off vs. trying to add a rear rack to support the bag, because on the subject bike, a 60cm XOXO, the bag will barely make contact with a rear rack when hung from the saddle, unless the rack can be made to sit pretty high above the rear wheel. Does anyone have experience with the Nitto NR-20 or NR-21 ( http://store.somafab.com/ninrrebagsu1.html)? It looks like that may sit higher based on the rear canti mounts and in that it's specifically meant as a rear bag support. -Jeff Silver Spring, MD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddlebag Support Suggestions.
I imagine a good stout seat post and steel-railed leather saddle is good for riders at least 275lbs? So, the whole system should be good for a 200lb rider plus some bag weight.. I can't imagine the loops bending with even 50lbs on them. Disclaimer : this is untested speculation, but I used to weigh 230, and had a large saddlebag and no issues. I weigh 195 now with the acorn carradice clone and standoff. Still no issues, but it's hard to fit more than 20-25lbs in/on that bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddlebag Support Suggestions.
Leg rub can be minimized by adding a standoff to the strap around the seat post. Acorn uses a leather cuff; a piece of stiff rubber hose or PVC works as well.

I'll give it a shot with commuting loads and see. The problem I'm seeing with the Marks rack is that my frame is 65cm with the saddle up a bit, so I'm not sure that I can get it mounted high enough to support the bag. i might have to forego a support and just deal with bag sway and leg rub.

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddlebag Support Suggestions.
In layman's terms, 4.5 lbs is a six pack of beer. I've definitely put more weight than that on my Mark's Rack though. Sometimes six just isn't enough.
