Carradice Barley and the Acorn Boxy Rando Bag are my two main bags. You can fit an amazing amount of stuff into a Barley Bag. I use mine with the Carradice SQR, which I also really like but I think if your bike is tall enough with enough seatpost to keep the bag off the fender or tire I you could get along without a support. Carradice makes a bag support that attaches to the saddle rails but I'm not sure if that would work with a sprung saddle, and some people have reported difficulty keeping it tight.. The SQR attaches to the seat post and is absolutely the quickest on & off the bike you can get. I have an extra seat post attachment so I can move the bag between bikes. Harris Cycles carries all the parts. BTW, the Carradice site could lead you to believe that the SQR goes with an SQR designed bag; that's not true, almost any bag with saddle & seatpost straps will work. It does allow some back and forth movement which I notice while climbing standing up, but there is no lateral movement at all.
Short answer... a great bag.
