I have been riding for a few weeks now with the Arkel Cam-Lock pannier hardware. After a few days, I thought to eliminate metal-on-metal contact caused by the lower hook. My go-to lately for such an issue is hemp twine and Shellac. Using the "Rivendell" method* for twining handlebar tape, I twined the lower bar of the Tubus Carry rack:
I presume that the indentations in the Shellacked twine indicates potential long-term wear prevention against the titanium Tubus. And I think it looks sharp.
Today's reason for Why I Ride a bike: The Casseroll carries what I need it to in the manner I want it to.

Looks pretty nerdy to me.
