Dear David,
A stainless fender does a pretty good job..
A Tubus Fly if a Bagman is not enough. Yep, it is a full rear rack;
however, the Fly is lighter than anything with more carrying capacity than
a Bagman.
Best,
Will

David, maybe you need to try the Nitto R12 - Bens cycle has the best
shipped price. Though it's only rated for 2kg

Bagman didn't play nice with the Selle-Anatomica saddle - saddle clamps were
near the rear ends of the saddle rails straight section. Bummer. Looks like
I'll just use a standoff or make a tall saddlebag supported by a regular rear
rack.
If anyone needs a Bagman Expedition, original version,
BTW It is usually much less expensive to purchase Carridice bags and racks
from UK websites. Any UK products really, Shipping is often quite low or
free, and you are expempt from the 21% UK VAT. I use SJS a lot.

I commute with a Carradice Super C. For years I used the following setup
without any major issues:
1. The q/r mechanism of the bagman and an axiom journey rack on my main
commuting bike, a Sam Hillborne

I think at some point it makes a lot more sense to just put on a light rear
rack like the Tubus Fly (341g) or Vega. When not being used I think it
looks alot better than an empty bagman or Marks rack. Allows some panniers
as needed for grocery runs.
Now having said that I like to keep a couple
This is what I did. I run a Tubus Airy (an expensive Titanium Fly) as a
saddlebag support and it also carries small panniers when needed.I ride
very small frames so I didn't really have room for the traditional
saddlebag support.

Bagman Expedition arrived today. I have a bag that'll work with it. Will
give it a try with a moderate load and see.
Other question: how much weight would be advisable on typical saddle loops
(Brooks and SA specifically) and seatpost w/standoff?

I imagine a good stout seat post and steel-railed leather saddle is good
for riders at least 275lbs? So, the whole system should be good for a 200lb
rider plus some bag weight.. I can't imagine the loops bending with even
50lbs on them.

Shoot! Just ordered a Bagman Expedition as I had credit with Ben's Cycle and a
$20 off coupon. I'll give it a shot with commuting loads and see.
The problem I'm seeing with the Marks rack is that my frame is 65cm with the
saddle up a bit, so I'm not sure that I can get it mounted high enough to
Leg rub can be minimized by adding a standoff to the strap around the
seat post. Acorn uses a leather cuff; a piece of stiff rubber hose or PVC
works as well.

Another vote for the standoff here. I've got the large Acorn saddlebag (looks
like a copy of carradice nelson) that comes with the leather cuff standoff,
and it's just great!

In the interest of safety, note that a Mark's rack is weight restricted to 4.5
lbs., I think, according to the RBW site's description of it. And the RBW site
gives very strong warnings about not overloading the racks they sell. Read here:

In layman's terms, 4.5 lbs is a six pack of beer. I've definitely put more
weight than that on my Mark's Rack though. Sometimes six just isn't enough.

When I considered this concept of max bag on minimum support I eventually
discarded it for one simple reason: a support failure would likely end a
ride and I'd be stuck unless I abandoned the bag. For me, it's far better
to get the right support for the job and ride with security. For me, that
