But if you are using a smaller bag, that doesn't need extra support, you can use the bag loops to attach your bag.

That's good to know. My bag now is just a wedge.

Very true!
I use Baggins Little Joe bags (fairly substantial in size) and tend to ride with a goodly amount of stuff in them I tried mounting them first just on the saddle loops and seatpost, but they sagged down to the back wheel too much, even with a bottom stiffener inserted. I didn't need a Bagman support when I only used a little VO Croissant bag.

I figured since I'd easily spit out two 10 lb babies my sitz bones must be a mile apart. Never even considered having them measured. The B72 felt like riding in a hammock. I had it on my Surly long enough to have dents, and my lbs guy pointed to them and said "Holy cow that saddle is wide, look where your dents are!". Sure enough, they were way away from the edges, closer to the center.


I've ordered from Wallbike and they are terrific! I highly recommend ordering from them.

Thx... that's really good to know. I just bought my kids some oral hygeine rinse that shows the spots you missed while brushing with discoloration. Wouldn't it be GREAT if any saddle you sat on it made colored dents automatically where your sitz bones hit? ...like how the dents show in the Brooks wear.

I pushed out a couple of those 10 pound kids too. I did get measured at the shop, and in Playdough at home. When my own jeans are fitting from not scarfing down too much ice cream, I'm normally on the thin side # wise. I think this is what leads the lbs folks to steer me towards a narrow saddle. Wrong... the bones have a mind of their own seperate from the fatty junk in the trunk (got some of that now).

That's more good feedback about Wallbike. After some of my recent experiences, I feel more appreciative of places like TE for their customer service.

Andrea is actually a guy. I thought that also, until he explained that it is actually a man's name over there. He's from Italy??? I think???

OH! Thx for telling me that. I wouldn't want to give him an uninvited sex change. We have some Britt friends that moved away, but I have E contact with. It took a while for us to understand one another with some of their terms. I went to give my Britt lady friend a "jumper" she had asked to borrow once... my "jumper" was a short-all-dress. Her "jumper" she wanted was a sweater. Go figure.
