    Wow, your style is truly exceptional. I just discovered your channel today, and I was immediately impressed by the quality and creativity of your content. But then I noticed you haven't posted in over a year. I really hope everything is going well for you. It would be fantastic to see you back in action, sharing more of your cool tips and tricks about cycling. Your unique insights and advice have clearly made a lasting impact, and I'm sure I’m not the only one who would love to see more from you. Looking forward to any updates you might have!

      Hi again. Took your iTag hack to heart. I found that on our front bag mounts, the Tag did not fit in a way that did not in some way effect the quality of the mount release movement. The plastic seemed to rub against the tag when we inserted it. Instead, I snuck it in an under-seat bag.

    I've never seen them on your channel, but if you haven't heard of Voile straps you should check them out. They even have a new strap designed for racks. They were originally designed as ski straps, to hold skis together but they're great for lashing things to bikes. I'm not affiliated in any way, I just find them to be an indispensable piece of kit.

    • @EverydayCycling

      @@EverydayCycling I have a VO Porteur rack on my gravel bike and I strap my shopping tote or bag of climbing gear to it using the Voile straps. They could replace anything that you use your Velcro straps for except they're a little rubbery, have some stretch to them and are easy to secure with the their belt holes. Oh and you can daisy chain them
      I'm about to order their new rack straps because they're more secure for larger items than my cargo net is.

    Rear Rack not wide enough ? And Soft Stuff could deform while transporting?
    For a few bugs, get a Metal grille/ grid from Home Depot. ( the Garden one are specially good, because there light, got a plastic cover and are cheap )
    Zip Tie for permanent or Velcro for occasionally use.
    ……………
    The Front luggage block awesome, but sometimes you don’t carry so much crap with you but and you want the additional weight in the front for better handling.
    What i did. I took a diy front block adapter and put on a big Pouch. Then I mounted a front block under my seat with a seat light mounting and if I now want to ride with just my phone and wallet - I do it, specially nice on hot days with empty pockets.
    Pockets free and still space enough for a small water bottle in this pouch.
