I'm thinking about trying out one of the Specialized Reserve Racks for behind-the-seat bottle storage. I'm running a Specialized Power saddle with the integrated mount holes so I have the option of the integrated bolt-on option, or the saddle-rail-clamp option but have a few questions:
(1) Does anyone have any experience of either of these options? At a glance it looks as though the bolt-on option would be more stable when fully-laden with 1+kg of water.
(2) Does anyone have any side-on pics of this setup on their bike? It seems like the bolt-on design will sit way down below the seat (and possibly very draggy) whereas the clamp-on design angles more up-and-behind your backside.
(3) Do either of these still leave enough space for a small saddle bag? I'm currently carrying a small repair kit in a Lezyne Road Caddy that straps onto the saddle rails and would like to keep it as is if I can, because I regularly switch it between bikes.
Thanks for any help!
