[RBW] Re: well, here's my Sam Hillborne build

How do you like the ride with the big saddle bag? I think my Sam is the same size as yours, also with drop bars, and I commute with a single ortlieb rear pannier—been wondering about better ways to load it up. The assymmetrical loading never bothered me much but maybe I'm just carrying more stu

[RBW] Re: Wald Big Basket + Nitto small front racks

I used a large Wald on a Mark's Rack for awhile, secured w/ loads of zipties. I had the same concerns initially, but it worked fine for moderate loads. I used the Lindsay method for modifying the Wald basket, which makes the basket a bit shallower, which means you probably won't overload it.
