Carradice Bag Support for Sprung Saddle?
 
Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any home-brewed or store bought solutions for giving support to a Carradice being used on a sprung saddle?

I received a sprung brooks B67 saddle for Christmas and it was one of the final pieces needed to build up my 'comfort commuter'. I just finished the build yesterday afternoon and realized I have somewhat of a problem since my Camper bag now sits (unloaded) on my rear tire.

I have a Bagman QR (previously used with a B17 saddle) that I tried to adapt over my B67 saddle and got hold in place, but the clearance is still on the short side and any kind of load in the bag is going to cause it to sag onto the tire still.

Nevermind...

I ended up bending the metal supports of the bagman to a different angle to give more clearence from the tire. I also built a 'net' out of hemp twine (I think it is the same stuff they make necklaces out of) to prevent bag sag between the supports.

Their saddle bag uplift using SQR seat post bracket may suit.,
independent of the saddle.
where the bracket gets mounted on the seat post, gives some height adjustment ..

It's made specifically for that problem.
