But, for now, it's the Easter weekend: maintenance Sunday....

Looking ahead to a bike trip in May, if not April, thoughts turn to luggage carrying. While the Aeroe system looks good, there are already far too many people spending hundreds of pounds on future landfill to facilitate their once-a-year bike holiday. I don't want to be part of that problem. I'm constantly trying to divest myself of 'stuff,' not add to it, so I intend adapting gear I already have: the Old Man Mountain rack on the commuter, and the fork racks on the mountain bike.

Remember when all frames used a single standard method of attaching the rear wheel, allowing you to easily swap components between bikes? When MTBs weren't one trick ponies, so they'd come with a variety of mounting points...? The old OMM rack went on the Cannondale monstercross quickly and easily with the aid of a couple of quids' worth of 10mm aluminium spacers and extended bolts from eBay.

My little Carradice panniers stay on well (better than Ortleib) but the bottom clip can pop out on rough ground, and they rattle around a bit like many such bags. Easy solution: mount the fork racks such that I can strap dry bags either side of the rear wheel, leaving the top of the OMM rack free for supplies picked up en route. Loads of heel clearance for my mahoosive size 50 feet, zero rattle and movement. Cost on eBay? Less than a tenner for a bag of 12mm p-clips, bolts and nyloc nuts.

That'll work.

The HOOK EXT C is a carbon bike made to take on the toughest terrain you dare point it at. Backed by equally quick 650B Hunt Adventure Sport wheels and easy rolling WTB Ranger tyres, it’s the endpoint of our speed focused gravel line. With the ability to carry serious loads, triple mounts on the forks and three separate bottle cage fixings allow you to carry as much as you need with you. #bombtrackhookextc22 #bombtrack #bombtrackbicycleco #gravelbike #gravelgrinder #monstercross #bikewander #adventurecycling #adventureisoutthere #dropbarsnotbombs #bombtrackhookextc21 #bombtrackusa #velostarimports (at Velo Star) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiP972FLWpe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wanted this monstercross project to run a wide range 11 speed MTB cassette and derailleur without relying on gadgets like tanpans and hanger extensions. The solution was a set of Microshift SB-M110 drop bar levers, specifically designed to work with exactly that drivetrain! The right/rear lever shifts very nicely, positive without being clunky. The paddles work in an opposite fashion to Shimano brifters, though, which took a few rides to get used to.

Unfortunately, Microshift have missed a trick by making the brake lever cable pull compatible with road rather than MTB calipers. I suspect many customers, like me, might be buying these levers so they can use a load of surplus MTB kit to make a heavy duty gravel-ish bike. I've got round this by buying an Avid BB7 road caliper for the front wheel, mounting it on an old MTB BB7 post mount adapter with a 185mm rotor. I'm running the rear MTB BB7 (which I've had for 17 years) with a long pull Cane Creek drop bar lever. It's all good, certainly better than the Spyres I was using last time I tried this.

I like the fact the gear cable exits the shifter externally rather than running under the bar tape. Just make it a bit longer: nice clean run you can easily slip a bar roll behind. Also, the integral barrel adjuster means you don't have to split the outer cable housing and insert a tension adjusting widget to dial out cable slack. Bonus.

If I was being picky I'd like both levers to have a bit more of a bulge on top, to hook my thumbs behind when I'm on the hoods on rough tracks. Overall, though, quite happy so far.
