I imagine a good stout seat post and steel-railed leather saddle is good for riders at least 275lbs? So, the whole system should be good for a 200lb rider plus some bag weight.. I can't imagine the loops bending with even 50lbs on them.
Disclaimer : this is untested speculation, but I used to weigh 230, and had a large saddlebag and no issues. I weigh 195 now with the acorn carradice clone and standoff. Still no issues, but it's hard to fit more than 20-25lbs in/on that bag. On May 13, 2015 4:32 PM, "David Banzer" <daban...@gmail.com> wrote: > Bagman Expedition arrived today.
