These are the guys I'm sure. Tough as nails. Super C rears are huge. You'll
master the hook thingie up top pretty quickly. You have to position the
bottom (slideable) hook for the specific struts of your rack. I use Nitto

Ortliebs are great in a lot of ways. Certainly they are a stardard for
durability and waterproofness. And honestly the evolution of their mounting
has made them very easy to use. But there is a concern that Ortlieb is

Sorry coming to this thread late but is there a problem with Ortliebs? I
commuted for several years with two Ortlieb panniers and they took seconds to
mount and take off. I’d walk into my office with one over each shoulder every
day. Unfortunately for my bike habit, I work from home now.
Alright, I've got some Albatross bars on the way, but I'm still on the hunt
for a Nitto M1 aka Mark's rack. Let me know if you have one and would like
to change that?

John, thanks a lot for the head’s up. I actually live not far from their
headquarters here in Portland. I have not given them serious consideration
before. I will give them a better look. They do look like nice bags. I must
admit I’ve been a little off-put by the price. But if they give value
Deacon, I hitch my hoss (Sam) to the post all day and can’t leave the
saddlebags. I use my saddlebags not just for grocery shopping, but for my work
stuff (I teach and need 3-ring binders, notebooks, books, etc.). I also want
bags that do 2x duty for touring, when I get the chance. So,
yeah when you commute you don’t leave your bags on the bike. That said
there are properties in a bag that either work in an environment like PDX
or they don’t. I have found that over time I use my North St. Bags

Gotcha, John. I’ve been surprised by how small the delta in mounting time is
between Riv’s panniers and modern systems, but can see how it would be a bit
frustrating for on/off multiple times a day. Not a big deal on/off each
night/morning when bikepacking, or for errand day. If I may ask, is
There's also the Japan/Taiwan thing. Even if the quality is the same the Japan
frame is always going to have a value the Taiwan does not. Plus the Japan bike
would sell for a (much) higher price if they were both available new right now.

I have and love a 56cm SO. It is odd that they rarely come up for sale, but my
estimation has always been that they are less sought after than quickbeams. I
love my SO, but I’m always a little envious of the QB name. I think that’s what
makes these bikes less sought after/valuable. $1500 seems
I do. It's a brown one and I haven't really used it as much as I thought I

Based on your description of the way you use your panniers I would suggest
checking out North Street Bags. They aren’t cotton canvas. Much lighter
and more waterproof though. Boutique Portland bag maker. I have a lot of

Thanks for the head’s up, Patrick. I have seen these before, and they look like
excellent bags. However, since I’ll be using these for commuting and shopping,
and need to install and remove frequently, I’m thinking the attachment may not
be the best for my use.
I have happily been using Lone
I'd pay $1000 tops for a clean complete SO, and that's adding in a little
consideration for the seller having to ship. This one with the "leaned on a
pole" marks? $800. Not that I have a freakin' clue what the real value is..

Doesn’t the S1 have better tire clearance than the QB? My new to me QB
looks like it might fit a 38mm + fender max, which is a bit disappointing
coming from a BMC MC (which could fit a 44mm + fender).
A moot point since the S1 didn’t come in my 64cm size, but I’m curious
nonetheless.

I'm watching this auction, to see how (or if) it goes.
The Simpleone has nicer (more subdued) graphics, but is less famous than

Not what you were asking, John, but would the Rivendell Back-a-bike Bags work
for you? I love them for precisely the reason you are asking about the
attachment system. Riv’s are attached with the old school leather straps on top
and sold nylon click buckle on the bottom. They are solid on rough
--My lower hook does not attach. It only stays in place by hooking onto a
vertical rail and by the top hooks being constrained by either a edge or a
rail so that it cannot slide on top. Therefore the bottom hook placement
is very rack specific. You would need to relocate the position to find
Hi John,
I use the front Super Cs on the rear Nitto big rack (Campee?) from Riv but
also on old man mountain racks and blackburn racks with no issues. I also
use the Super C commuter bag on the Nitto rear rack with no issues (as
expected, since they have the same attachment principle).
Toshi
Thanks for the advice.
Are they easy to remove from the bike? Looks like there’s a pinch mechanism?
(Im used to panniers with a bungee and S hook to hold the bag under tension,
you see).

Is the price really very out of whack? Not wishing to be contentious, just
curious. I do remember the frames being cleared out at $800 under specials, but
weren't they a $1200 frame/fork/HS when first offered? I suppose $1560
complete/used should get nicer spec, but these come up very rarely
I have a set which I believe use the system you're describing. I have no
complaints about the mounting system and have used them on pretty rough
stuff. I have used them on a Tubus Tara and a Nitto 34f/Big Front Rack. The
lower hook does seem a little flimsy, but again I haven't had issues. I
agreed. And that chainring

Thanks for the information Toshi.
We are talking about the same bags.
Good to know they are secure and easy enough to engage and disengage.
Are you using these on a Rivendell rack, or some other?

Does anyone have the "new" Super C's with the cam-style hooks and lower

I'm curious if the "new" mounting system is:
1. As secure as a standard good ol' hooks and bungee system, and
2. A hassle to get on and off?
I love Carradice stuff, but am dubious about this securing system.
Never. I'll be shocked if Riv built more than 50 total, it wasn't around very
long. MUSA? I don't remember this being a Waterford frame, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for the update - I've been following with interest.
