With large bags there is a good chance that it will rub the brake cable. However, maybe if it is large enough to rest on a rear rack it may not. I don't have experience with really large bags. I have a Sackville Small, which is fairly large compared to normal saddlebags, and it rubs. I do have a lot of space between my saddle and rack/tire though. I haven't used the bag enough for it to do any damage. It makes marks on the bag, but hasn't hurt the fabric. Smaller bags, such as a banana bag, don't rub as it stops above the cable hanger.
I have been curious about this Nitto saddlebag wire guard (Riv link below) https://www.rivbike.com/products/nitto-wire-guard-20189 Acorn sells this product to help with this issue: https://www.acornbags.com/collections/accessories-all/products/leather-stand-off-with-strap Another option is a bag support: https://theradavist.com/2016/09/ocean-air-cycles-erlen-saddle-bag-support/ Cody Bartz Key West, FL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
