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

missing 1 lower rack bolt
Eeeeek. I mean, I guess if a rack is going to fall off, better a rear rack than a front rack but still...

Or (as round the world tourers used to do) thread the (longer) bolts in backwards so the head is on the inside of the frame then get a nyloc nut on the outside to clamp it all together. Means you won’t lose a bolt, and if in the worst case it shears off you can still get the bolt out and replace it as the head is on the inside attached to the frame and not lying in the dirt 👍
Looks like a fantastic trip, and great photos to boot
