Jim, It depends on what you plan to carry. I have commuted with a large
Wald basket mounted to a Nitto mini-front rack for about 5 years. My work
bag is a Patagonia Mini-Mass, and it fits perfectly in the large basket. I
normally carry a laptop, a few papers, and maybe a book or two. When the

the front of your bike that many folks use to support their Wald baskets.
I just use a Mark's Rack. I try not to overload it.

Good morning all,
I was interested in group-member opinions on the best rack to mount a large
Wald basket on the front of your Rivendell. I'm thinking that neither the
mini-front rack, nor Mark's Rack, is ideal to support the large basket. So
what racks are you using?
Thanks in advance for any
