Nitto R-10 vs Marks Rack for Saddlebag

[Peter M]

So I have been waxing and waning over whether to get the Bagman for my
Carradice Pendle. I just don think it is a good choice due to the
fact I want to just be able to mount it and not worry about it coming
loose and the fact that I dont want anything mounted to my saddle. I
was trying to decide now between the Nitto R-10 and the Marks Rack and
was wondering if anyone has used both or has first hand experience
with using either one with a sprung saddle and high profile brakes
(paul neo retro). Thanks to any advice yall can offer.

Haven't used the R-10, but I had a Mark's Rack on the rear of my Quickbeam for a while. It worked well for support of saddlebags -- better than the Bagman I replaced it with.

Do you think there would be an interference problem with the high profile brakes? I mean do the struts for the marks clear them ok? I would prefer the Marks since if I do ever get another bag it has more than one use, unlike a dedicated saddlebag rack.

Peter:

 

I have Paul Touring Cantis on the rear of the Quickbeam, so I can't be sure about clearance for Neo-Retros.  Can't recall whether clearance was tight with the Touring calipers.

I've ridden with a marks rack since 2006 with, most often, a Carradice Barley.  Most excellent combination.  Goes back and forth between my saluki and my protobleriot.  I have  small (50 cm) bikes so clearance for a saddle bag is always in the equation.  the marks rack is 1) easy to move from bike to bike, 2) stable as all get-out, 3) keeps bags from rubbing on fenders, 4) keeps saddle bags clear of cables, 5) is totally adjustable so you can dial in fore-and-aft and height, and 6) is so small you can just forget about it if you're not carrying a saddlebag.

I have no experience, though, with the R-10.

good luck, liesl

I have used a Marks rack on my 52 Bombadil with cr-720s. Worked great.
No trouble with the brakes.
As Liesl points out it very flexible and versatile, up down, for aft,
tilt, whatever.

Nitto R-10 is pretty good. I've used both for a rear bag. I like the option of taking the R10 off and on whenever I can. Taking off and on a Mark's rack get's kinda annoying after a while. If you're using the Mark's rack for the rear with high profile brakes you'll need to fudge it to make it work. 

Ever thought of using nitto's r-14 is always a good rack to leave on forever for a saddle bag.

Hey Peter,

I can't help with the choosing part, but if you go the the 10 then I have one looking for a home.

All the best,
