I haven't tried the shopsack so I can't speak to that. But I can say that you should install as large a front basket as you and your bike can handle. I tend to be a rear-load rider myself, having been raised on a fairly steady diet of British-geometrie'd bikes. However, I DID use a Really Huge Basket on the one front-loader (a frame with appropriate fork trail for front-loading) I built up several years ago. The Wald Model # 157 (also known around here as the Humungous Hardcore Messenger Basket) regularly held my Dee-Dog sized Timbuk2 messenger bag with plenty of room to spare. Largest load ever was that bag filled with library books, nestled in alongside a short case of beer and three gallon jugs of milk (I was dropping off library books and doing a grocery run for a barbecue). It came to something like 45 pounds of stuff all neatly bungee'd in place because it was really overflowing on top; and while it was slow, shaky going for me, the basket handled it with aplomb. So if you don't mind heavy loads up front, the Wald basket can totally handle it. Beth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
