Nice. Also, that 3 bikes in 1 shot pic goes to show just what a decent choice a rear rack can be. Looks so purposeful in comparison to the other two.

Was great, could get a bit sendy and still use the dropper. For the others, the carradice snapped inside and they both had loads of weight up-front, along with bag swinging, bouncing and tyre rubbing to deal with.
But PSA, loctite an off-road pannier rack.. cleaned the bike yesterday and was missing 1 lower rack bolt, the other side had nearly worked its way out :O

3 nights, 3 bikes and 3 different sporks.
On what started off like a Bikeradar shootout for best british hardtail for UK gravel, a Fairlight, a Cotic and a Stanton were loaded up to ride the Trans-Cambrian trail, all that was missing was @JacqueLucque showing up on a Mason RAW.

The route covers some sparse parts of Wales and we carried nearly everything needed, wild camping 2 nights and staying at the Claerddu bothy in the middle. It was all terrain and all weathers, and much harder than expected!
The Holt with little panniers, perfect.
