Paul- Sorry for the delay! It's a Soma Demi Porteur rack purchased on sale
from Analog

Up for sale is my Bombadil, which was a prototype I bought from Riv. It was
originally in bare steel but in 2019 an errant stick bent the derailer
hanger. RBW sent it to Steve Rex to be straightened and aligned, and then
it went to D for the paint job. Here's a pic from Shell Ridge:

After either cleaning or a replacement, there's always that plasti dip
stuff. I've read of someone doing it before after cleaning a rust Wald with

What is the cost of buying a new basket occasionally vs basket coatings?
Zinc is a sacrificial coating and it appears to have been sacrificed. I
hate to replace things, but sometimes it is the more economical thing to
do. Just make sure to get the remaining steel Wald to the recyclers.

J J,
A zinc coating is electrically applied where galvanizing is hot dipped into a
zinc solution. Galvanizing gives you better corrosion protection, but they’re
both zinc coatings.
That is a lot of rust. If you want to keep using the basket, you could try a
rust converter on it. I’m glad

I agree with Eric and others who find the 559s lacking in stopping power.
They're more or less good enough in dry conditions, but if it's wet, not so
much, and they're even worse in the snow. One of my scariest bike
experiences ever was on a 650b conversion of an old Trek with 559s (with

Is it bending like this under all the cogs? I'm wondering if the problem is

Yes, zinc inhibits rusting - it is sacrificial, so the zinc is meant to
oxidize before the iron but it eventually runs out. Zinc coating is also
pretty weakly attached to the underlying steel (kind of like paint). For
serious marine and industrial applications, the steel would be hot-dip
That's crazy. If these truly ride like the Saluki, this is an amazing

I guess my reaction to this would be "why would it not work". It's a
friction shift lever.
So long as the limit screws on the rear derailleur are set correctly, and
the lever has sufficient travel to sweep the entire distance between the

I purchased a Nitto rack from Analog back in 2020, and it has the Cerakote
finish on it. It looks great of course, but I was surprised at how fast the
coating wore off in certain spots where my bag rested on the top of the
rack. I wonder if the material of a bag placed inside a Wald basket with
Analog Cycles has some that are cerakoted. It’s tougher than powder. I have a
