Yes, plenty of slide room - and it looks like the same is true of the new-style clips/ latches/ hooks shown in Timber_8's post.

Would flipping that "spring clip thingie" up and back give the ease of clearance you need?

Yes, good point, that definitely helps.

Anyway, I hardly ever take the pannier off my bike on commuting days. I just put all my stuff in a canvas shoulder bag which I slip into the Carradice and pull it out when I get to work -- much faster and simpler than attaching/ detaching the pannier itself, and the canvas bag is significantly lighter to carry around.

Thank you Screech,
I personally appreciate you review Carradice Bike Bureau. I did put my order in over the weekend for this Item. I have shared some email correspondence with Carrdice & was surprised with the personal contact with there personal. I get so use to computer generated response that it caught me by surprise. My experience so far has been excellent. I had not intended on commuting with my computer but have decided I would give it a go if I could find a bag I would feel comfortable transporting my 17" laptop. I am a division manager in my company & I tend to keep a casual dress code with my employees and encourage them to bike into work. I have arranged a spare office for bike parking within my building as well as lockers & a changing room. I do not require anyone to ware a suit so that is not an issue. I have some employees that like to use there own laptops as a companion to the office computers. I figured since my commute is the longest this would be a good test for laptop transport.
