The only problem I had with the small saddlesack was not having enough clearance between the saddle and the tire, but that wasn't because the bag bent or sagged more than normal. It was because my saddle on my Hillborne was too close to the top tube to really have enough clearance for that bag anyway. I just didn't have enough leg extension and the saddle wasn't high enough to make it work without some sort of support. What I did was fit a rear rack and used that bag a lot. I probably should have just gone with a medium sized bag though. Not that I really ever ran out of space, just that if I had to use a rack anyway...why not have the extra bag just in case?
I thought the small was a great bag though...I loved the trunk like flap on it and the construction was top notch. I'm currently in the market for a medium so I may be sending an order off to Riv for that.
