Hi Kieran, I love the combo. I had the smaller Wald on for a few months, then switched to a Swift Industries Ozette, and now the larger Wald basket. I've got six zip-ties on the bottom of the basket and two on the rack 'tombstone' at the back. I've never had any issues with the ties snapping or feeling insecure.
With the smaller basket, I was never worried about it caving under too much weight. With this larger one, I was curious as it extends several inches past the end of the Campee. However, I can't see what I could put in there short of concrete blocks that would cause the basket to fail. For added insurance, I use two irish straps like in the photo, wrapped around the bars and the front of the basket. This helps keep the front of the basket from sagging. In short - I feel totally fine riding around with a heavy load in the basket. On Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 12:16:03 PM UTC-6, Kieran J wrote: > > Hey Mark, great looking bike.
