FWIW, a friend of mine recently picked up a Pelago Rasket, and while Pelago makes very nice, affordable racks, my friend said he was shocked at how incredibly heavy the Rasket was. On Sep 21, 2023, at 5:08 PM, Alex K <acks...@gmail.com> wrote:
Oh boy. That is a brilliant use of the Tumbleweed rack!!!! If only The Sam fork had those mounts on the fork!!!! I really really dig that. As far as the Tunitas 137 Basket Tote in the Wald 139 basket, I tried a Tunitas 139 Basket Bag in the 139 basket and it was way too snug, no wiggle room and I really had to jam it in there to get it to feel right. The 137 Basket Tote just fits better. Similar issues with the Sackville ShopSack Large vs. Medium. The large WILL fit, but the medium fits like a glove. Will keep an eye out for the pelago On Thursday, September 21, 2023 at 10:28:53 AM UTC-7 DavidP wrote:
Hi Alex,Just double checking - but you mention a Wald 139 basket (the larger one) and the Tunitas 137 tote (the one designed for the Wald 137 basket).
If you are looking for the larger basket, then the Pelago Rasket may be worth a look. It's another combo basket and front rack and the basket is slightly larger than the Wald 139.

I thought it odd that the basket was a bit larger than a Wald 137. Seems so many nice basket bags are perfectly sized for the 137. I have been very happy mounting my 137 via zip ties to a Tumbleweed “T” rack. The best thing about the Tumbleweed racks is the 3 bolt mounts built in to the support legs. Makes these racks very versatile. ![image0.jpeg]() Sent from my iPhone In the latest PLP video, Russ brings to light a nice basket solution from a company called Manivelle. The Le Porteur version is a little less than 2 lbs, which is kind of amazing for a basket and rack combination. The standard version seems to work well with a basket bag. Looks like you might spend under $100 for the Manivelle.
Just found a screamin deal on a fully built 51 Sam. Now it's time to get it kitted out. I love my Pass And Stow for the heavy duty- stuff and aesthetically, it's unmatched IMO. Perhaps a bit of overkill as a simple basket rack. Would love an RBW51 Nitto rack, but not sure I can justify the $288 plus tax. Looking for something simple and elegant and cost-efficient for mounting a Wald 139 Hardware-less Basket and a Tunitas 137 Tote. If anybody has a well used RBW51 that they would be willing to part with, I'd love to hear from you. Also looking for other options and would love to see what y'all are using for your Wald 139 Baskets. Thanks!
