After far too much thinking about this very minor and evanescent question,
it occurred to me on this afternoon's ride that one possible system for
very QR saddlebag on/off that does not require more than a couple of oz
attached to saddle or seapost might be this:
Drill the dowel on your Carradice

Has anyopne mentioned one of the quick release behind the seat packs from

I took a closer look, and with the narrow rails and curved saddle end, you
can't slip a dowel between the rails as you might do on a Brooks.
As for snap hooks: No go either, since the bag has to be snugged up against
the underside of the saddle, which requires using the straps.
But I mitigated
One more! Will think about this one also. Thanks.
But given that this sort of big-bag use on this particular (1999 Joe Starck
stripped-down fixie gofast lightweight) will be very sporadic and
occasional, and given that I still hope Chauncey won't take 6 months on the
new "Riv-Road-like errand
Thanks, David; 2 suggestions worth investigating.
Now that you mention it, I do recall someone, on some list, some years ago,
describing QR saddlebag attachment with snap hooks and I may just have a
couple in one of my boxes ...

And now you've got me thinking!
Another idea - use the dowel idea but mount the dowel piece directly and
tightly to bag. To mount, have the bag twisted sideways, fit dowel parallel
(and between saddle rails) then twist to fit the dowel on the inside of the
rail area (with bag fitting outside
I wonder if a double-ended snap hook would do the trick. I've seen setups
where that piece was mounted onto the saddle, but I wager you could mount
it onto the bag and then attach to the saddle rails.
I suppose you could figure out to use 2 of these
To be clear in my previous post, I was suggesting 2 separate options.

Thanks. I've used the Bagman version, both with and without supports. I was
hoping to find a quick on/off system that didn't require a permanent
attachment to the saddle or seatpost; probably a forlorn hope indeed, tho'
Roberta's solution (and someone's refinement of it) come pretty close to
what
Carradice Bagman Maybe?
Well, I guess you've considered that; yes it is sort of limited weight wise.
Would this be any help? https://www.hobopieces.com/product/the-restuvus
I have one of those on (surprisingly) a Brooks saddle, because the bag I
was mounting has much wider straps than the
Thanks, all. Really, my inquiry supposes that I want a "light, strong,
cheap -- choose all" solution. But I think one could rig up something that
(1) leaves little or nothing attached to saddle or seatpost or frame, (2)
holds 20 lb securely in a saddlebag, and (3) goes on and off with very
little
Roberta posted about $1.00 quick release a while ago:

Also, there is Frost and Sekers QR, which is a bit more pricey.
