I've been rolling with the Bagman Expedition QR + Camper longflap for a few
weeks with light/bulky loads, and based on the feedback from this
conversation, I definitely have some reservations about using it with
heftier loads, particularly offroad where it may be bumpier, even if I do
have a chance to cobble together additional struts as previously mentioned.

That being said, I think I have a better chance just sticking with the
built-in loops on my Brooks saddle plus a stand-off vs. trying to add a
rear rack to support the bag, because on the subject bike, a 60cm XOXO, the
bag will barely make contact with a rear rack when hung from the saddle,
unless the rack can be made to sit pretty high above the rear wheel. Does
anyone have experience with the Nitto NR-20 or NR-21 (
http://store.somafab.com/ninrrebagsu1.html)? It looks like that may sit
higher based on the rear canti mounts and in that it's specifically meant
as a rear bag support.
