42T Conversion to 1x10
I have been running 1x10 for several years now with an 11-36T cassette and have argued that for most of the trails here in central Texas that 36T is enough. But as I have gotten older, I am beginning to think that there is a value in having a few more teeth in the back for steep climbs. My Shimano drivetrain tops out at 36T so to go beyond that limitation I needed to change some components and make some adjustments.

1Up Rack Lock
The 1Up racks are pretty much the best rack that I have ever hitched to the back of my car, I can't say enough good things about it. An option for the 1Up are the wheel locks that lock your wheels into the frame. While this will keep your bike protected, I always worried about someone coming along, undoing the skewers, and swiping the rest of the bike. Then I came up with a nice solution that is pretty straightforward.
