I bought a Manivelle rack for my wife's bike, she likes it a lot! Most are
in silver or black, but we bought this cool pink/retro style one. I bought
it through my LBS though.

I've got baskets mounted on at least 4 bikes currently (including my Sam)
with basket-capable racks on a couple others. And I have a very strong
personal aesthetic dislike of any front racks that attach to the fork
dropouts, as well as racks or bikes that require P-Clamps (so ugly!)

Wow. That Memento site is dangerous. Beautiful stuff. Rawland looks great
too. RatKing (original Tumbleweed T-rack maker!) also gorgeous. So much
good stuff here. Think I'm going to be boring and go with a Velo Orange
Porteur. Really really wish the Sams had forks with the bolts on the top

I purchased one of the Rat King RIP racks early on. I use it on my Gus
currently. It's a great idea; having a rack platform that can securely
mount and unmount a Wald 137 without futzing with zip-ties... but I do have
a couple of issues with it. For one, and this is purely aesthetic, if you
I've never used one, but these Memento Cycles racks look good, sturdy, and
are on the cheaper side:

The Soma Lucas 3 rack is also super sturdy. Not the best looking rack out
there but a steal at $60:
I have the Ti version of this:

The steel is a much better deal of course for not much more weight. I’ve
carried the over 20lbs on mine no problem.

I use a Wald 137 attached to a Jack the Bike Rack with a Fifth
Season/Analog Cycles Squall Sack. It's secure, and I remove it in moments.

I love these: Rip Rack from Rat King, Five Rail from Pass & Stow, or the
34F from Nitto.

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 wrote:Oh boy. That is a brilliant use of the Tumbleweed rack If only The Sam
Pelago makes great racks that can attach to eyelets or through the axle
(and then attach a Wald 139). The RBW rack is available through Blue Lug
(Japan) for appx $100 less than sourcing it here in the states. You will
pay a little bit for shipping, but it allows you to justify adding a bunch

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
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
