The two bikes on which I do quick rack removal and installation are my
Bombadil and my Hilsen. The Bombadil I alternate between a Burley Piccolo
rack and a Nitto R-14. The Piccolo rack I use when I want to ride one of my
kids on the Piccolo. The R-14 is better suited for my trunksack, large
61cm frame

Another no-cost thing you might try is not strapping the Carradice to the
seatpost, letting the whole bag swing more clockwise (when viewed from the
driveside) and letting it just rest on the rack. You could then strap the
seatpost strap around the forward upswing of the rack or just ditch it
OK, if the few wraps of cord is too much, after looking at your pics
why not just strap the part going to your seatpost to the back stop
(part poking up) on the rack. Based on ultrsa precise measuring on
the pic with my fingers, it should work, do the same thing as a
bagman, and cheapest fix yet.
You don't mention what size frame you have, which may be a big part of the
problem. I commuted for many years with the Carradice SQR, which has many
advantages. It is absolutely the quickest on and off the bike you will ever
have. Most days I used a Barley Bag but had a Nelson LF for those da
2 at the bottom - you're right, my mistake. I'll try swapping and/or
bending the 2 at the top - would be a timesaver if it works! Thanks

I think there's two allen bolts at the bottom, and those I think we agree
are fast.
I think you could swap the two mounting straps, left with right, and that
should enable you to mount to the outsides of those braze ons. If that's
not possible, then you can bend them. They are made to bend.
Thanks - I'm not sure what kind of rack you have. Mine takes much longer
than 2 minutes to install or remove. Ok, the 4 allen screws on the lower
part of the rack are no problem although it takes a little fiddiling with
the fender. The upper 2 allen screws are on screwed into the the inside o
I recommend you lift the bag off the rack by raising your seat a few inches
and compensate with pedal blocks. :)
Seriously though, it seems like you are at an impasse. The large Carradice
bag, when fully extended wants to occupy space that the rack insists on
occupying. Moving and removing t
You could try strapping the Carradice to the rack (like a pannier) instead
of strapping it to the seat loops. Of course, then it is likely less
available mid-ride.
I have a similar problem with a couple of bags that I have; the nice Nitto
racks (Two Strut and R-14 and R-15) have that forward l
I don't have the bike nearby right now. I'll take a picture tonight and
upload.

You could ditch the Carradice and opt for a trunk bag that attaches to the
rack instead of the seat, say something like the large sackville trunksack
or something similar (arkel makes a pretty neat trunk bag). That way you
never have to remove the rack and you still have your commuting bag.
Just throwing this out there, but is there a way to put the rear rack
on backwards putting the upward bend at the rear?

The rack is parallel with the ground right now. If I slide it forward it
would have a slope downwards pointing towards the front wheel.

Can you push the rack closer to the seat stays so that the rack loop
is under the saddle? I have a similar problem where the frame of the
saddle prevents me from pushing the rack forward.

The bagman might help, but it would depend on the overall clearance
between the saddle loops and the other rack, too close and the bagman
expedition length may collide with your other rack.
There is a dirtbag solution,
