I decided that I did not like my legs hitting my Carradice bags, I added a stem with appropriate shim on the seat post to hold the saddle bag further back. I do not want to hijack your thread by posting a photo. If you are curious, let me know if you would like to see a photo.
Please hijack away. I'm sure people will love to see your set up.
I haven't toured with the Specialized yet, Covid got in the way, and so have just one cage installed...the Diverge can take three. This is half way through a 60 mile shake down loop I do from my house, it was cold and there are lots of places to stop for refreshments on the route so a single small bottle was all I took. On tour I have at least two one liter bottles in the cages. I've always used the traditionally mounted Carradice and I don't notice if my legs touch the bag. One good thing about going to the Nelson is now I have lots of clearance between the wheel and the bag, with the Camper it was always close.
