Minh: You could mount a Large Wald on the Platrack - they're pretty big, as you probably know, and I they're not big enough to get the cargo inside the walls, you could always just stack either on top of the basket, or tilted into the basket, comme ca (this basket is a small, but you get the idea):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8711455223/in/set-72157630957672582/ As for the Gino's mount, I installed a VO light bracket (here: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/lighting/vo-rack-to-light-bracket.html ) to the hole at the front side of the Mini Front (using lock washers and a nylock nut), then the Gino's mount to the other end (again with lockwashers and a nyloc nut). It didn't seem like it should be sturdy enough for the quite heavy Exposure MaxxD headlights I put on the mount, but in fact it held them perfectly, and the lights were well-protected. Instead of the VO bracket, you could use the Boulder Bicycles bracket (here: http://www.renehersestore.com/servlet/the-341/Light-Bracket-for-Edelux/Detail ), or a home-made one from an old brake, like this one from Somervillain on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7516215@N03/7405521178/in/set-72157635818887783 and as installed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7516215@N03/8733550136/in/set-72157635818887783 , or from an old chainring: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rperks1/8718438496/in/faves-37542512@N04/ . I think the home-made solutions are all pretty cool.

I was planning on putting the med wald basket back on the platrack, but looking at Jays pictures, i'd lose the ability to really pile stuff on there, anyone come up with a happy medium between the flexibility that Jay shows in his pics versus the risk/danger that Tom highlights with not running some kind of platform on top? Slickersack is out for me as i have a moratorium on new bike luggage ;) Tom unrelated question, it looks like you were able to get a Gino mount attached to the lower arms of a Nitto Mini Front Rack, what hardware did you use to secure it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
