Bagman and carbon rails

[dat]

Would anyone here use a bagman on a lightweight full carbon saddle? The saddle is rated at 100kg and I’m 75kg...

I'd say the potential problem is not weight but clamping the attachment to the carbon rails.

I was thinking it is quite thin. I have it in my cupboard otherwise I wouldn’t consider it. My saddle does cost €280 so I don’t want to ruin it.

I wouldn't mount a Bagman on a carbon rail saddle myself. There is a fair bit of leverage applied by a loaded saddlebag (particularly over potholes) twisting a very short clamping surface right beside the seat post head. I think that the bending moment in the saddle rails between the Bagman clamp and the seat post head might be a bit higher compared to without a Bagman.
