Yep, I'll ditto the medium basket, as well. I had one strapped to the front rack for a long time. Very useful and handy, really. I might go back to that set up one day. I'm fickle when it comes to rigging a bike. I love tweaking the mix. Riv's are great for that, too.

You might give it a try -- you could be surprised. Re the large basket, Keven at Riv had a large basket on his mini on his QB (see staff bike pictures under Bike Models on the Riv website for a picture), and he told me it was not stable. He suggested a Platrack to me if I wanted to have a Large basket, and I may yet try it, though I like the medium basket fine. -----Original Message----- From: i.e. [mailto:ien...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 10:48 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Advice on building up a Quickbeam (+introduction) Thanks for the warm welcome and great information. I just got back from Rivendell this evening. Here's what I've decided on so far, based on your recommendations and the input of the Rivendell folk. I went with the CR720s for the brakes. I also decided to start off with noodle bars, the mini-front rack, and fenders. I was disappointed to discover that the medium Wald basket is a lot smaller than I had imagined. I'm hoping I can fit a large basket on that mini-rack--has anyone tried this? I also plan to fit a 14 tooth track cog with a bb lock ring on the flip side of the stock hub. So there it is, folks. Thanks for the help. I'll post pictures sometime next week! Isaac -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
