Just curious if anybody has used one with success that doesn't seem to want to rotate back and forth. As always thank you for your input
Any decent rack of that type should be very secure on the seat post, as long as you pay attention to the instructions to adjust it properly. But it is just like a seat binder, and your seat doesn't move easily, either. All of the ones I've seen seem more similar than not on the platform.
I would see if I could find a used one for cheap, and just figure it out. Maybe use a cheap seatpost with it instead of marring your nice post (if it is). But it sounds like a decent way to take advantage of the rack bag you already own.
