I don't know if I'm more impressed with the simple inginuity of your solution, or the artistry and composure of the snapshots. On Sunday, March 17, 2013 12:33:17 PM UTC-6, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: You can make something out of a wire hanger if you're just trying to protect the bag from

Thanks, Bob! That's good enough for me to go ahead and try it. On Saturday, March 16, 2013 7:45:11 PM UTC-6, Robert Barr wrote: Keith, I bought a Wire Guard for the same reason you list. There was the potential for some cable rub on the small Saddlesack that I use on my Hunq. A top

No, 10 kg: http://www.carradice.co.uk/products/other/bagman http://www.carradice.co.uk/products/other/sqrclamp The Bagman now has seatstay struts, but the old, pre-strut model also was rated to 10 kg. I'd not want to put 20 kg (44 lb) in a saddlebag anyway! On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 8:45 AM,

I have the strut model but they were wonky and a bit ugly. Luckily they come off clean and easy with a couple of m5 screws so I could put them back on if I feel the need. On Mar 16, 2013 11:00 AM, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: No, 10 kg:

Whoops, I stand corrected. I had done the lb. convertion and remembered the 20 part. Thanks. On Saturday, March 16, 2013 8:00:19 AM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: No, 10 kg: http://www.carradice.co.uk/products/other/bagman http://www.carradice.co.uk/products/other/sqrclamp The Bagman now

Keith, I bought a Wire Guard for the same reason you list. There was the potential for some cable rub on the small Saddlesack that I use on my Hunq. A top rack seemed overkill, and the Hupe didn't look like it would fit a small Saddlesack. I have only used the wire guard for 3 days, but I think

I love my bagman as well. It even looks pretty good on the bike without a saddle bag. Highly recommend it if you are not carrying too heavy of a load. James Chang On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 9:45 AM, Peter Morgano uscpeter11...@gmail.comwrote: Bagman? I love mine but I don't think it can take as

The Bagman and the SQR are both rated for 10 kg, IIRC. Note too that the Bagman QR's QR less the wire support -- ie, just the part that clamps to the rails -- is also -- per Margaret at Carradice -- also rated at 10 kg. (At least, that's what she told me some years ago.) Me, I like the old French
