Commuting - Lower Pannier Hooks

I have an old set of Cannondale Panniers, but I only have one set of hooks that mount on the rack eyelet, so if I use the panniers on any other bike, there's no lower spring tension holding the upper hooks to the rack.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one that has one set of panniers but a couple (or so) bikes to use them on-

So what clever solutions are there for mounting some sort of hook-y thing on the rack eyelet?

I'd have to see it to be sure, but do any of your bikes have cut-outs in the dropouts that could be used as hook points? Since I haven't seen your specific set up it is hard to imagine, perhaps pictures would help? Good luck!

a hook in the center of a section of shock / elastic cord
is a common pannier hold down method.

on my bikes i try to get a similar rack for each so that i can still use my panniers with any bike. the racks i have all have some hook built into the rear support piece where it welds to the main support of the rack frame. although on some of my cheaper racks, they are shorter and so my panniers ride closer to the crank, and i do get heel strike on one of my bike setups.

i have seen a fellow mount an home made hook - it looked like a cut piece from a coat hanger wire, and he held it in place with a hose clamp, seemed to work for him.

Yeah, it's not like the hooks are "scientifically designed" to maintain an balanced, optimal pressure calculated to be paired with the most advantageous spring tension for your rack load... it's a "J" shaped hook designed to catch a ring attached by a little bolt...
