I’ve used a bunch of racks but prefer the options that go to the dropout eyelets and don’t have too many moving parts. Current favorite is the tumbleweed t-rack. Simple, light, strong, and gives you option to put bottle cages or anything cages on the rack legs. http://www.tumbleweed.cc/store/t-

This is what I use for my Wald 137 on my Hillborne and it's perfect. The platform fits the base of the basket perfectly - not required, but helps rigidity. https://rawlandcycles.com/collections/gear/products/raidoverks-demiporteur-rack -- You received this message because you are subscribed t

Mark's rack is great for a medium Wald basket. I even ran a large Wald on mine for about a year with longer struts extended down to the upper dropout eyelet for extra stability. I currently have the NItto basket rack but it's twice as expensive and probably not twice as good. On Thursday, Ja

The obvious answer is the RBW Nitto basket rack, but spending $250 to hold up a $20 basket seems antithema. My recommendation and a solution I've used regularly is a SOMA Lucas or Lucas2 rack. Inexpensive and well made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

I like the constructeur front rack from Velo Orange. I have it on multiple bikes. Handles baskets, rando bags, small panniers. I have also mounted it on the rear and used it as a saddlebag support. Works great. Jon Tallman On Thursday, January 2, 2020 at 10:21:42 PM UTC-5, Randall Rupp wrote:
