Wald baskets come in black. Rivendell even has their large “racer” baskets
in black. I was intrigued by Analog’s cerakote stuff, but it was mostly out

The only rusting I’ve had on my baskets is the bits where I sanded the zinc

I think the Gallops are 2023 and they have already gone through two proto
stages. I think Roadunos might be further out than that.

Wald baskets are made of steel and zinc plated.
Suggest removing your basket and mix 50/50 water and white vinegar and
scrub affected area with steel wool.
Rinse and spray paint with black primer / top coat Rustoleum.
If rust is too much then find a new inexpensive 139 on line. I saw one for
19.99.
To everyone who is satisfied with their long reach brakes, how do they work
*in the wet*? For instance, after riding across a short section of wet
grass, my long reach brakes literally can't stop my bike until the wheels
have rotated several times. I almost went into a cross street because of

Brendon, I have the Origami ones from PDW and they actually work great!
I’ll likely end up using them on my Susie just because they are easy and
work well enough. I was trying to go more classy with this bike but I like
simple solutions as well.

Maybe kick-ass long reach caliper brakes are inherently unlikely because
the needed length alone - no matter what great brake pads are installed -
makes the brake arms less forceful than, say, medium reach brakes (like on
my Ram).

and 110 have the same chain line (CL), but the 110 has a bit longer

Has anyone come across a good stainless steel basket around the same size
as the 139? I'm not concerned about weight. I love the Wald, but the
rusting has gotten too much.
Or has anyone successfully treated a new Wald with a clear coat of some
sort to mitigate rusting? If so, what did you use?
FWIW, when the BB on my Hillborne needed replacement, I swapped out the
Tange 107mm BB with a Shimano UN300 107mm BB and the inner chainring made
contact with the chainstay. I though, no problem, I'll install a 110mm.
However, the additional 3mm spindle length was all on the non-drive side.
It was definitely expected! But I love the bike so much that I want it to
do everything now! Haha.

For real!! The brake clearance on these bikes isn't great, but that was
more-or-less a known trade-off from the get go (rim brakes and fat tires
are a tough combo).
I had to replace Paul Motolites with some Tektro knock-offs that were in my
bin. The Paul's don't clear a 2.8" G-one tire on Cliff
Still hoping to make it. Count me in with 85% probability, pending some

the Rivendell Quickbeam that is to be ridden in said event.

The plan had been that the Prototype Roadunos would be in one of these

shipment with the Atlantis' or maybe will be in the next shipment. Those
will be prototypes, so we'll presumably get to see them built up, and

For payment - PayPal or Venmo work.

Thank you for the reply. I am running 2.5” and there is maybe 2mm of

prefer to have more room there anyway. The brakes do work very well though.

Unfortunately, the arithmetic does not always add up.
22.5 + 20.5 + 68 = 111, not 110. This means that the Q is 4mm less with the
107, not 3; this makes sense as the JL difference (22.5 - 18.4) is also 4mm.
