FWIW John , I thought the same thing about the Soma price, but then shopping around online I found retailers sell the Soma and it's fence for the same total price as the VO and free shipping. Here is one place http://www.outsideoutfitters.com/ps-23468-1112-soma-porteur-front-cargo-rack.aspx

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

This thread has taken such a Manny turn! I think the problem is not the baskets but the driver! Personally i use a platrack to avoid this, mostly because i'm clumsy and bump my basket into a lot of things. in retrospect i think a porter rack (like a haulin colin) would make more sense then

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

KJ, I was curious about this as well, and if you look up the Soma rack, they've added a mounting point for mid fork braze-ons. On Thursday, September 10, 2015 at 9:50:51 AM UTC-4, Kieran J wrote: > > The Soma/VO porteur racks are not as sturdy as you might think - the fork > crown attachment

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

The Soma/VO porteur racks are not as sturdy as you might think - the fork crown attachment hardware is quite flimsy and exhibits noticeable flex under anything more than a modest load. It looks solid but it doesn't really perform that well in heavy use. There are ways to beef up that weak

There are a bunch of great dirt roads worth exploring up this way if you are looking for something a bit off the beaten path. The covered bridges are great but they are the tip of the iceberg in terms of good riding up this way. The backroads have less traffic, more good climbs, bigger

[RBW] Re: Nitto Big Front Rack + Front Fender

There's no true elegant fix for this since your rack doesn't have a dedicated braze-on mount for the fender, but you can improve on the zip-tie fix. You can get a small nylon R-clamp from your local hardware store and attach it to the rack cross-bar. Use a spacer and bolt for the R-clip

I'm sure most folks have searches on ebay, this one popped up this morning and it's interesting/odd to me. From the seller, looks to be a non-bikeshop (maybe a pawnshop?) so i don't trust the sizing and there are no measurements (though from the pics, it looks to be a 54-56). One odd thing, i

Recently, I was changing my racks to make my Hunq easier to carry up & down stairs, and found that my medium Wald and Nitto front rack combo (w/o lowriders) was a couple ounces heavier than my Pass & Stow. Since I use a bag, Capt. Hook cargo net & Irish straps to hold stuff either way, I went

Hi all, i've got some Honjo Fenders waiting to be swapped out on my Hillborne. Currently i'm running VO fenders with a Nitto BFR (the big rack on the little one). These racks do not have a boss on the underside to secure a fender. Has anyone come up with a creative way to secure this? At
