Lots of responses here, so forgive me if this has between mentioned. But, have you considered using releasable zip ties? They are available a variety of colors (for the bag matcher types) and even come in steel. How riv is that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

I hold my Wald basket on with thin static line (cordage), using several Clove hitches, chained together out of a single piece of line. Easy enough to undo when I want to change over the basket (I have a big 'un and a medi'um), and no waste of zipties. You can find lots of helpful online knot-ty

WRT to using zip-ties or velcro. I must be extremely lucky as i've used zip-ties for years to secure a wald basket--first a medium to a nitto mini front and now a large wald to a plat-rack. for my other bike i secure a wald medium to a nitto big rack using velcro ties (the ones you use to sec

Jay, This may be sacrilege, but have you considered using the axle struts and handlebar hardware supplied by Wald? It looks to be pretty easy to take on and off as a unit, and I bet it's a stout setup. And how hard could it be to install/deinstall a rando rack once its been properly fitted?

I use velcro cable ties and they work great. I'm always taking the basket off and on, and haven't actually used zip ties. I use 4 around the bottom corners of the basket and wrap tightly around the basket and the rack once, then loop the velco strap back around another bar of the basket and pull

Good topic. I'm still waiting for a QR-equipped Wald basket equivalent to come to market. Like Jim M, I use a CETMA Halfrack and a LG Wald together, and the combo is decent and highly useful, but far from perfect and not designed to go together. The zip tie solution is barely a solution - more

Cutting zip ties is fast, and hopefully you already recycle all your plastic. Buy a 100 bag of zip ties and you're good for the year. It's good to feel guilt about consumption of too much plastic, but I doubt your annual zip tie use will even get into the top 100 of your household plastic use

I use a CETMA Halfrack http://cetmacargo.com/pages/halfrack to support my big Wald. It is relatively easy to take off the whole rack and replace it with a bag/decaleur for those kind of rides. It works with canti brakes with a bolt through the fork crown, but they are custom made so I'm sure yo

It might not be quick (might even be tedious), but small hose clamps are reusable and would keep the basket firmly in place.In any case, as Michael pointed out you need something that has a strong clamping ef
