Could be tough to beat the connection quality of multiple zip ties-- rock solid. I get the urge to remove the basket sometimes but I never do because I too don't like the idea of wasting zip ties (and I know I want the basket on there most of the time).
I wonder how well three properly sized and placed voile straps would hold a wald onto a rack. I'm thinking two placed in parallel along the narrow dimension of the rack and one along the long dimension. The straps are slightly elastic (not as elastic as a bungee) and you can really crank them down tight. As a bonus the orange color will certainly add some speed to the bike (skiers too are concerned with speed hence the color selection). I have two straps that I use for backcountry skiing but I don't currently have the urge to snip my zip ties so the experiment will have to wait for another day. I figure people on this list will find myriad uses for these wonderful straps so I'm posting this message regardless that I've not run the experiment. They make great stocking-stuffers too. http://www.voile-usa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=800&Category_Code=VSS&Product_Count=0 (Disclaimer: I have NO personal or business relationship with Voile- USA.) -Mike On Dec 9, 5:58 pm, Seth Vidal <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 8:35 PM, Brian Hanson <[email protected]> wrote: > > BTW - for the post about the re-openable zip tie - just cut the old ones off > > and use new ties when you want to put it back on.
