I have the bagman that I use with a carradice pendle on a touring bike. I also have a carradice SQR slim that I use on a road bike. Both bag supports are fine. However, I think I prefer the SQR because the bag is not "permanently" attached to the bike. I put the SQR on the road bike so that I could remove the bag quickly and use the road bike for club rides. I'm considering purchasing a second SQR support for the touring bike and using the "slim" bag interchangeably between the two bikes.
