I have a quick release basket I made using a tool box buckle. You’ll have to dig around in my Instagram photos to find them, as I can’t seem to post photos here. It works great. I have been using it for years and am car-less, so it has seen a lot of use. Clayton Bailey #DirtDanceDesigns --

Tully, do your canti mounts have the 3 holes for anchoring the springs? I'm thinking you're getting enough drag on the cable through the bends under the tape and at the rear loop that the springs aren't overcoming it enough. Maybe you can mount the rear springs to have more tension, then start
