Your cog is slipping.
Where the hell do you see non-machined rims?

Backpacks are ok, as long as it's a light load and short distance. Anything more and your butt will suffer. Try carrying a case of beer for 20 miles in a backpack and see for yourself...
Rear racks (not front baskets) take the load off your butt, and lower the center of gravity making the bike easier to control with a load.

Riding 20 miles with beer in the pack? Your doing it wrong. You should have been down to at least 10 by the time you got home and thats not bad.
