Vincent, I've avoided a permanent basket mounting with a John's Irish strap. https://www.flickr.com/photos/129545862@N03/16159037984/in/dateposted-public/ This is the way I used to strap it to the front rack. Now I attach it the same way but cross the strap underneath between the basket

Hey Justin, what length of Voile straps do you use? It’s a wald 137 you are attaching? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Hi Roberta, with this mechanism, the basket is wobbly by nature. Feels like it may fall off, but it hasn't. I think it will be fine for 10 lbs or so cargo (a little more maybe, on wider racks) as long as you slow down on bumps. Here's a picture from when I had loaded it with two 6-packs

Ash, Do the springs hold the basket tightly to the rack? Do you ever feel that going over a big bump could dislodge it? Roberta On Saturday, September 1, 2018 at 12:48:30 PM UTC-4, Ash wrote: > > Public bikes makes a basket with clasp mechanism based on spring tension. > Pictures

Thanks for all the support everyone. I am blushing. Trying to invent new simple stuff for my weird cycling world is very hard but rewarding. Hopefully, some of my ideas will inspire others to invent and make their own gear. The Stuinniker bags with their tool box buckles, are ninety five

[RBW] Re: Not so permanent Basket + Rack

OK, since nobody explained it, I managed to view the .gif video on my phone. There's a clip wrapped around the top of the tombstone and a QR clip permanently attached to the front face of the Wald basket. You presumably insert the rack in place under the fixed tombstone clip, and then lock

I use voille straps to attach it to my rack. Easy on. Easy off. One going side to side, woven through the various bars, one going front to back also woven. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Can somebody explain to me what I'm looking at with Clayton's design? I a static image in the instagram link posted above. I see a loop of metal that is permanently wrapped around the top of the tombstone, and appears to be temporarily clippable onto the top rail of a Wald basket. Is that the

I'd love to see someone do a run of Clayton's basket buckler. Perhaps... Rivendell? That would be a seriously couture basket rack. Add a bail to the basket, and you could carry it into a store. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Friday, August 31, 2018 at 10:57:32 AM UTC-7, Drw wrote: > > Clayton’s

Clayton’s thing is so good, and baskets are becoming so common, I wonder if there isn’t a maker somewhere who would buy the design off of him. As I recall, he said he isn’t much interested in manufacturing them himself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

On one of my bikes I like to switch back and forth between a basket and a rando bag. I used zip ties for a long time, but it seemed wasteful to be cutting them off every few weeks. One of the bikey Instagram accounts I follow (I can't remember which one) showed someone attaching their rack by

I continue to be amazed by this awesome basket hack. Definitely worth the digging through Flickr or Insta for find it. I went the other way, and had my basket silver-brazed to the rack. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Friday, August 31, 2018 at 8:32:52 AM UTC-7, Clayton wrote: > > I have a quick
