Re: [RBW] Re: rack for Wald 139 re: zip-ties & baskets

No sign of degradation that I could see. I am sorry now I did not keep them. I was packing the car for a drive across the country, saw that damage, and tossed them. Hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime thing... On Tue, Aug 15, 2023, 14:00 'John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@google

Eric, were the straps degrading, or were just broken, or cut, or? John On Tuesday, August 15, 2023 at 9:47:04 AM UTC-7 ericf3 wrote: > Here's an oddity. I bought a couple of Voile straps for future use, around > 2019. I stored them atop the donut spare in our Forester. Last month, I > accesse

Re: [RBW] Re: rack for Wald 139 re: zip-ties & baskets

Here's an oddity. I bought a couple of Voile straps for future use, around 2019. I stored them atop the donut spare in our Forester. Last month, I accessed the space and both straps were broken. Not a clean cut, but close to it. I wouldn't suppose that it means anything for other users, but that i

+1 for Voile straps for attaching baskets to racks. I haven't broken any wires on my baskets, but my zip-ties seem to break on their own. I used to find broken zip-ties sometimes when I did a quick bike & rack check before heading out. The zip-ties never broke while I was riding, but would e

iphone + google groups = tons of typos. what i meant to say is (and now i see its currently out of stock) buying my basket rack from blue lug was cheaper despite the crazy shipping price from JP. allowed me to add some throw ins and justify the shipping for those. i'd like not have purchased an

[RBW] Re: rack for Wald 139

Have you considered a couple of those inexpensive banjo brothers grocery store panniers and a rear rack? You mentioned wanting to carry two grocery bags worth of stuff or an equivalent haul from the farmer's market. I'm just thinking would easily solve problems related to having of a lot of wei

[RBW] Re: rack for Wald 139

Not aure id this still works, but when i purchasedy basket rack, it was cheaper, even with shipping to get it frok boue lug the plus was any small afditionals hardly added to the shipping cost, so it justified some toss ins. i’d imagine the prices are still similar, but it seems like there a

+1 for Pass and Stow racks. Old Man Mountain is now offering a wider platform Pizza Rack, but haven't tried it. I would also recommend using the widest bars you're comfortable with for riding with big front loads, but YMMV. Confession: I do not like big front loads. John On Tuesday, April 11

I use a pass and stow and am happy with it. It’s supposedly lighter than the rbw rack and has a dynamo light mount. On Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 5:29:38 PM UTC-7 J Schwartz wrote: > Greetings > I'm interested in racking my Wald 139 big basket and am curious what ppl > are using for a rack. >

I use a soma porteur rack with a 139 basket. It's about the same width and a little bit deeper than the basket itself. It has low-rider pannier mounts as well. I was able to get one lightly used on craigslist and while I generally like it I have been thinking about getting a rack with a smaller

I have the Blackburn Local Basket Front or Rear Bike Rack, One Size on my Big dummy, and it is bomber (if a little heavy). It's discontinued, but if you can find one, I think you'll really like it. It perfectly fits the welded Rockgeist bag that is bui

[RBW] Re: rack for Wald 139

Thanks for these suggestions. I hadn't heard of Pelago. It certainly looks like it could do the trick on a budget. Yes the P&S racks seem perfect but they are even more than the Basket Rack. I'm sure they are priced correctly just saying...same thing applies re: my original post. I hadn't

Laing, that's the most gorgeous Clementine I've seen yet! Bravo. I like the addition of the the cafe lock, too! -Brian On Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at 8:29:52 AM UTC-4 lconley wrote: > VO Porteur - $165. > [image: IMG_1621LQ.JPG] > > Laing > Delray Beach FL > On Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 8:29:
