The recent blug post implied that they had found completes they didn’t know 
they had VERY recently.  If you had made that call before “1:35pm on August 
30th”, they may have found the two after you called.  If so, may be worth a 
second call.

Best,
John

Thanks John. Saw that too and checked the site within a couple hours but they 
were already sold. Called and Will confirmed. 
Seems like that size has sold out by summer going on a few years now, which 
would indicate a significant supply/demand discrepancy. Yet Will says they 
“can’t afford to keep them in stock.” 路‍♂️

I've several touring buds well into their 70s, and one guy who still climbs

Thanks for posting.  I've shared it with my buds, with the caveat that none

[RBW] Re: Not so permanent Basket + Rack

[Bill Lindsay]

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 it in place with the QR clip. I like it a lot as a diy-project. 
If I were Clayton, I would similarly have little interest in trying to 
manufacture it for others. 

A theoretical 'run' of a product like this would be made for one model of 
Wald basket to fit one model of front rack. A product made for just that 
combination would still need some non-trivial installation effort on the 
part of the end-user. If the basket sagged or bent at all in use, the QR 
clippy part might need to be adjusted. I'd be nervous offering this product 
to non-mechanically-inclined end users who don't have the mechanical 
instincts to detect when it's getting loose and the risk of it popping 
itself off is getting more likely. People building it themselves puts them 
in a better position to take responsibility for themselves. If it's too 
much trouble to make your own, then you probably don't really need it.

It's super clever, though.  I "never" remove my baskets, so I'm good with 
zipties

[RBW] Re: Not so permanent Basket + Rack

[Bill Lindsay]

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 
entirety of the design?  Or am I missing the rest of it?  The instagram 
link has a triangular play arrow but it's not playing on my Ubuntu/Firefox 
machine.  Is there a video tour of other components?

If that's the whole design, then 'someone do a run' would be cutting strips 
of flat metal.  Each person would have to wrap it around their tombstone, 
and cut and bend the shape for their basket.  
If that's the whole design, what holds the body of the rack down?  If I 
grab the front edge of Clayton's wald basket and yank it around, what keeps 
it from pivoting around that clip?  Are there straps as well?  If there are 
straps, then what is the clip needed for?

Love the hacks but missing the whole story

[RBW] Re: access to grip king bearings

[RichS]

Thomas,  

I use a jeweler’s screwdriver inserted into one of the four shallow holes on 
the plastic cap. When the cap begins to release from the pedal, insert the tiny 
slender blade between the cap and the pedal housing to remove.

If you place an order from Rivendell add some of the plastic caps for your 
parts stash.

Side note: The non drive side pedal has a tendency to tighten up for me so 
consequently doesn’t spin as freely as the drive side. Periodically I have to 
adjust the lock nut to allow the pedal to spin properly. Still my favorite 
pedal though.

Best,
Rich in ATL

I put my Wald on top of a CETMA Halfrack. The Halfrack attaches at the 
dropouts and brake bolt, so it's pretty easy to remove the whole thing when 
I don't want that much capacity.

[RBW] Re: access to grip king bearings

[Jay LePree]

Hello Thomas,

I left the caps in place and drilled a small hole in one of the four 
indents in my cap.  I then took a manual grease gun that screws onto most 
grease tubes, and just input fresh grease and remove the old grease that 
leaks out the back of the spindle (on the crank arm side of the pedal).  It 
works very well and is quick and easy.  The hole can be patched up with 
bees wax or just left alone.

[RBW] Re: Not so permanent Basket + Rack

[Brad]

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 
weaving an Arno strap (which is the same Irish straps) between the rack and 
the basket. The Arno straps are very solid and I carry heavy loads 
sometimes) Now that I've been doing it for a while, I can install the 
basket quickly. One caveat:  I'm using a Haulin Colin platform rack, so 
there's a lot of support for the basket.

Now I'm curious about the tool box buckle technique...

Thanks guys, some really good and secure suggestions here. I think out of all

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.

[RBW] Re: New(-to-me) Quickbeam

[Philip Williamson]

Congratulations on the child! And the Quickbeam. The Quickbeam may stay in 
the house longer than the kid...
That's a great looking build. The shiny fenders over the Delta Cruisers is 
a nice look, and complements the clean chainguard. Thanks for bringing 
those PDW fender mounts to my attention, too. I have yet to cut the fender 
stays on my green Quickbeam after... many years, and the PDW attachment 
looks so clean. Might be just what I need to finish the bike. 

Shame about the brakes. What kind are they? I would second the other 
suggestions to check the cable drag (does the lever return snappily and 
fully?), spring tension, symmetrical setup, etc. You might double-check 
that the wheel is straight in the frame, but it would probably rub the 
fenders if it wasn't.

[RBW] Not so permanent Basket + Rack

['Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch]

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.

To add to what Joe said, you may also have the arms mounted in mismatched 
holes. If that is the case, no amount of tension adjustment with the screws 
will overcome that tension difference.

[RBW] Re: access to grip king bearings

Use a corkscrew or wood screw gripped with pliars. Then fill the hole you 
made with Hogar's glue.  That's honestly what I did.   Maybe there is a 
metal cap that will fit, but I haven't researched it.

Russ from Path Less Pedaled has a video

to secure your basket. 

I use these Nite Ize Gear Ties 
 for securing my 
front wheel while I park. Because they are rubber coated they may work well 
securing a basket.  You can get them in various sizes/colors.

Re: [RBW] Hilltrek Ventile Cotton Analogy Sale

[ascpgh]

John, you're right and I've lost my mind! Ghosts of previous shells that 
needed pit zips any more have addled me. Only dropping the front zip has 
been necessary to get all the venting needed (duh, that was the primary 
attraction of Ventile to me).

Sorry for the confusion. It clearly has been warm enough that I've been 
without my Braemar's use for some months. 

Side note: Farmer's Almanac says it's going to be very cold and snowy here. 
I'll be in it daily for long stretches soon.

Re: [RBW] New(-to-me) Quickbeam

[Joe Bernard]

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 adjusting from 
there.
