One more vote for Albastache bars. Recently rode a couple days through wine country in Paso Robles, CA. Each day was about thirty miles, and particularly enjoyed the bars after adding these drop bar grips

Garth, Thanks for posting that on the wolftooth pack hanger. I didn't know about those. I already have the Park tool but may get the wolftooth tool anyway - looks light, compact, relatively easy to use, and reasonably priced. Also, I just like tools. Possibly something to even take on
