Speaking of baskets, has anyone used the racer model? thoughts? Thinking of
getting one for my SimpleOne.
Thanks,

A quick search shows lots of stainless steel baskets, often used in commercial
kitchen settings, available for purchase but probably not MUSA.

Great idea. Thank you. Mind my asking what sort of vinyl tubing that is,
and where one would get it?
I have already ordered a couple of cans of clear Plasti Dip to use on a new
Wald basket.

Thanks, all. I'm learning a lot — I had no idea about sacrificial zinc
coatings or the difference between plating and galvanizing. I appreciate
the explanation, Wesley and Aaron.
Aaron, about fenders, I should have said I was installing a *new* set —
I've always had fenders on my Hunq. I got
Now this is a solution! I would go ahead and get a new Wald and plasti-dip
it, as Jon said, you have gotten your money out of this one.
Bonus is that plasti-dip is available in colors! You can dip your brake
levers to match your basket and..

I think you have gotten your money's worth on this one.

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
Dawn and steel wool. It not only seals the steel, it would provide some
grip and it wouldn't make any noise or grind away at a rack if it's sitting
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
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
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
137 from them & is great. Though as we speak it appears they only have 137 half
& full baskets. Worth a call though. Or finding a local cerakote applicator.

Suggest removing your basket and mix 50/50 water and white vinegar and
scrub affected area with steel wool.
Rinse and spray paint with black primer / top coat Rustoleum.
If rust is too much then find a new inexpensive 139 on line. I saw one for
One option might be Analog’s cerakoted baskets.

Or has anyone successfully treated a new Wald with a clear coat of some
sort to mitigate rusting? If so, what did you
