I use my Nelson Longflap with one of the original Bagman QR supports. The thing to know about the "original" version is: 1) it flexes noticeably when you hit a bump and 2) saddle tilt affects the ultimate height of your bag above the rear tire. In my case, I ride a 54cm frame with 700x35 tires and need to tilt the nose of my saddle slightly upward for a comfortable riding position. Tilting of the saddle up moves the Bagman closer to the rear tire. My bag occasionally rubs the rear tire if I hit a large bump!
Looks like this must be a known issue, because I see that the
Bagman 2 has additional supports running from the rack to the seat stays.
