First thing this morning, I installed a Nitto Campy on my Cross-Check.
Since I'm using Paul's Neo-Retro brakes, I'm installing it using the Rack Adapter from Paul.
The light is mounted smartly using a stem cap light mount. It’s become a travel-ready setup that really stirs the adventurer's soul.
Frankly, if looking at this makes you feel restless, you’ve got a case of wanderlust.
There are other ways to gear up for a trip besides a rack, such as frame bags and saddlebags.
The Porcelain Rocket Booster Rocket Seat Pack is a high-capacity saddlebag that’s incredibly useful for daily commutes to carry rain gear or spare shoes, and for stuffing in a change of clothes or snacks on trail rides.
Porcelain Rocket creates durable, lightweight, and above all, practical bags that can be used for "bikepacking"—a style of adventure riding that is essentially backpacking on a bike. Its creator, Scott Felter, is a close friend of Rick Hunter and rides a bike like this.
As seen in the photo, Porcelain Rocket also makes handlebar bags and frame bags; the frame bags can even be custom-ordered to fit your specific bike.
(By the way, we are planning to place an order with Porcelain Rocket soon. If you’re interested in having a frame bag made, please let us know. The deadline is this weekend.)
