Thanks Nick I haven't seen tha, but looking at it, I think it may be too small ... the platform is 9.5" long so the 139 would hang 3.5" off the front . Definitely keeping weight in mind and also surface area below the basket. I suspect something both wider and longer would be best. On Tuesday,

Have you considered a “Soma Lucas 3”?  Approx. $60 I believe.   Comes in black and silver. I have one and use it with a 137 and like it a lot.  Might work well with a 139.  Do keep the amount of weight you might want to carry (for safety) in mind though.  NickSent from my iPadOn Apr 11, 2023, at

Greetings I'm interested in racking my Wald 139 big basket and am curious what ppl are using for a rack. I just got an email that the basket rack is back in stock at RBW, and I'm considering just buying it but I'm really just not onboard with spending $288 on a front rack despite how well it's

Hi, Slin - did you need to use a derailleur extender with the 13-42 cassette? If not curious how well the front 24 and rear 42 work together. Maybe this has more to do with what a particular RD can handle/wrap. Thanks, Scott On Monday, April 10, 2023 at 6:49:03 PM UTC-4 Slin wrote: > JS - > >

I kept my 2003 Curt road custom hanging on the wall for several years while I commuted on beaters; nice beaters but not Rivendells. Commuting was the bulk of my riding. The absurdity of this led me to have Dave Porter modify the Curt for a fixed drivetrain and use as a daily commuter. The

DavidP, Thanks for sharing that bit from Grant. Makes sense to me and seems a little more reasonable than 'seven is good'. Piaw, A broken frame seems a great reason to own a second bike, and this is exactly what prompted me to add the Atlantis to my already special Hunq. My Hunq broke once

I lived for many years with one road bike, and I think it was great. Having fewer decisions as to which bike to ride was great, and I perversely enjoy wearing out tires and chains at a good clip --- makes me feel like I'm a real cyclist. I did break the frame twice, and each time it kinda sucked
