  I'VE MOVED TO SOUTH EAST!

  AND! THE BIKE HAS RACKS!

  AND! ORTLIEBS!

  Racks are stellar, would eventually like a black basket. To justify being frivolous I'll probably upgrade to a Manivelle ALTHOUUUGHHH.

  To get the bike in the new house, it's a right PITA... so I've been pondering "would going skinnier with the handlebars make much difference?"

  I'm hoping... it might. Although who knows. Maybe I'll just throw a paddy every time it comes to getting it in the house.

  Took a ride to Peckham LIDL yday and got a few days worth of shopping in the ortliebs and in the basket, was pretty seamless really. I'm really chuffed with the whole set up. Tins/cans and bulky bits in the back, awkward shaped bits and light stuff in the basket.

  It's great. I love it. It's perfect in every way.

  Pelago seems to be the perfect option... luckily came across a bargain as Amazon had a used medium steel rack for £60 so I've nabbed it. Tubus for rear also seems great, albeit crazy post-brexit prices.

  There's one of the transalp racks on FB marketplace for a fiver, so if it's still avail I might nab that Friday then start the long haul of watching Tubus on Ebay - although they've all been going for ≈ £100 used at the moment :(

  Took the Broad Lane route yesterday - not perfect, but ten fold better than the alternative!

  Back on the bargain train. For some reason Jeff Bezos website had a "used" medium steel black pelago for £60.63, couldn't pass it up given the going rate of Pelagos / front racks generally being pretty steep.

  Ooooh rear rack is a shout to be fair... the ultralite doesn't have a bendable strut/mounting for the fork crown but might ponder that.

  I reckon though to be fair I'll go for the pizza rack, it's tried and trusted, and could see potential worms about getting the rack to sit flush with the strut design. Will see though, not gonna be a this month purchase :,< will simply cope with the 25l backpack for now

  Damn ugly, but functional , haven't had issues with it getting blocked or anything but it's all very simple. Setup was a PITA with changing the wifi over to 2.4G and back to connect to the app.
