I've considered trying to add struts similar to those that were included with the Bagman 2, which I believe is discontinued, but still pictured/available in the smaller Sport size here: https://www.benscycle.com/p-17-carradice-bagman-2-qr-support-sport.aspx I'm not sure if that model was never made in the "Expedition" size for the larger bags, but I can't find anything on it. I was thinking of seeing if I could re-purpose some other rack struts or fabricate my own to provide similar additional support. It looks like that Bagman 2, with the extra struts, had the same max weight capacity of 10kg, so I'd have to test any such solution to see how stable it feels. I suppose the question is what exactly are you trying to accomplish in supporting a large bag? Are you trying to offset the bag from your saddle, make it easier to attach/remove from your bike, or keep it from rubbing the rear tire/brakes/fender, or a combination of the three? -Jeff Silver Spring, MD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
