I want a big enough saddle bag for a flask, butties and spare clothes

[jefmcg]

Just a side question do the Carradice racks allow you to fit the bags to set ups that don't have the means to mount a bag to the saddle normally? I have an I-beam saddle which has no rails.

SQR. Seatpost Quick Release. https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/i...butties-and-spare-clothes.199448/post-4248718

I think you can get a quick release post mount. You can, someone has posted a photos of one on page 3 of this thread.

Yep, SQR system. It is very good & another big plus for Carradice customer consideration, they offer the seatpost hoops in a bigger size as well for fatter folding bike seatposts.

And they also sell the rings in both sizes, which is important, because they do fail.

That's what I meant by hoops, apols if I used the wrong term. I've managed to break the weld at the nut piece and ruin one too - dunno how I managed that one.

I didn't notice we used different words. If I had re-read your post after searching for the picture of the broken fixture, I would have used "hoops" too.

That's pretty much what happened the first time I used my SQR. My bag contained a litre of water, a packable waterproof jacket and my toolkit. Total weight of just over 2 kilos. Hit a pothole and snap. Luckily I was only about 2 km from home. My mate's broke in the same way when he was 60-odd km from home.

Interesting, I've put some heavy loads in mine without issue in that respect. Probs > 10kg.
