There's the rub, no you cannot, unless you're feeling extra crafty.

Watching ronsbikes video was a hoot. Clever end run on racks. But, you
can’t remove the sack without dismantling, no?

While this is also pretty expensive for what it is, it's still cheaper than
a rack, or you could DIY something similar for a few bucks less.

I'm using one now on a Carradice Camper Long Flap that I modded with 3
leather, essentially, belt loops to the
Thanks Patrick
Well, I realized my calculator was in radian mode instead of degrees. I think I
have roughly 15" of clearance between saddle and tire... And I'm glad I'm not

More about the Carradice SQR system: I works well to hold regular (and not
just the purpose-designed Super C Slim) transverse saddlebags higher than
the rear of the saddle (tho' your have to be aware that you'll need to lift
your leg higher when you swing it over the saddle, in case that is a
Whoops. Totally forgot to factor in that the saddle height is at a 70 degree
angle. That puts me much closer to 12" between saddle and tire with my napkin
math and if I'm remembering sohcahtoa right...

Thanks for all of the replies here; this is a very helpful community.
I tend to agree the Nitto rack could make a great solution--I just don't
know that I'm trying to spend that kind of money right now!
Now I find myself in a pickle because I could have sworn that I measured
13" between top
If you'd settle for the previous generation large SaddleSack, in Olive (!),
I have a barely used one. I don't commute anymore and have a grocery store
in sight of my house. If I go to Trader Joe's, I use a medium Saddle Sack
(thanks to Joe!) and pannier(s) if need be.
Let me know if you are
Hey Max, if you can live with gray in a brand new Happisack for less than a
brand new price, gimme a holler. I've never used the dang thing and I don't see

I've tried several times with various Sackvilles to make "not an inch to spare"
work on rackless fenderless bikes and always discover the same thing: Works
great unloaded, go to the store and buy some stuff, load bag, ride home with it
dragging on the tire. You're probably going to need a rack
Gotcha--thanks. I asked because I do like the way those look, not quite a
full on rack, so was curious if I could make it work.
Interesting thought on the stick--I'll have to think on that!

Yes. The Baggabond may be too large for the Erlen and maybe too heavy for
what its designed for. Just a thought.
Back to the stick. It’s kind of an “on the fly” approach. But maybe a
piece of black bamboo and contrasting cord would be more elegant and appear
more purposeful.

@tirebiter - yes, I've seen the same thing re: a stick, though I have had a
hard time conceptualizing what that would look like in practice. Seeing
Paul's pic helps me to envision it. I do wonder if it would prematurely
stretch the bag out if done regularly...
Regarding the Erlen rack, maybe
I think I’ve seen somewhere in their blog that you could use a stick and
strap arrangement to help support the bag. On the other hand, the Erlen
rack is a more elegant solution.

Hey Paul, that's super helpful! Thanks for the report and the pic. Do you have
a guesstimate on distance between top of tire and saddle loops?
