For saddlebags of any size, I use the Nitto R-14 rack underneath. I have
one Carradice Nelson longflap, two Carradice Camper longflap, and one of
the huge Baggins bags that Rivendell used to sell, and they all fit well
with that rack. Quite apart from stopping the bag sagging onto the tyre or

solution, or the artistry and composure of the snapshots.

Actually look on the website, both the Bagman and SQR are rated to 20kg.

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!

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.

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.

I had good luck with the Hupe... I installed one, upside-down and secured

Ditto on the SQR. Cheap, light, and absolutely the fastest on-off of any
system.

Just a side note for folks with small frames: the seat stays/brake bridge
will likely not have sufficient height clearance for the Hupe; at least
mine don't. Which is a double drag because a little bike has less height
for the bag as well. Mark's rack to the rescue. It's so adjustable that
The hupes had a tendency to scratch the seat stays. If you want one I'd be
willing to sell mine for cheap. It just hangs from my bike rack inside
after I got some scratches on my then new Roadeo.
I think it would depend on how much weight on the fender but for light
loads it shouldn't compress
Depends on the weight, of course. I figured with the Country Bag, I would
need some support. Mark's Rack was perfect.

On Thursday,
I don't think resting a bag on a fender is a good idea. If it compresses
the fender and locks the wheel on a downhill curve at 15mph, well...that
could be bad. I also have a hupe for cheap if anyone wants it. It's fiddly
and frame-scratchy and I'll never use it again.

Vallejo,
I too have a Hupe that sits unused.
For me the problem was that if the saddlebag was anything but full... ie if
the hupe was un-weighted... the hupe tended to move around and scratch the
seat stays.
I tried using zip ties to secure it without success. I think if I wanted to

Bagman? I love mine but I don't think it can take as much weight as a marks
rack since it hangs on saddle rails and all.
