I bought a Manivelle rack for my wife's bike, she likes it a lot! Most are 
in silver or black, but we bought this cool pink/retro style one. I bought 
it through my LBS though.

[RBW] Re: Front basket rack recommendations

2023-09-22 Thread velomann 
I've got baskets mounted on at least 4 bikes currently (including my Sam) 
with basket-capable racks on a couple others. And I have a very strong 
personal  aesthetic dislike of any front racks that attach to the fork 
dropouts, as well as racks or bikes that require P-Clamps (so ugly!)
I know (I think?) that it's not recommended, but I have no issue with 
running a Wald 137 mounted on either a Marks Rack (my Sam) or a Nitto M-18 
(two other bikes). 
I had a couple bikes with the cheapo ($15) Sunlight front rack that mounts 
to the Canti bolts and fork crown, including one running a Wald 139, but I 
had to use a strap to connect the front of the basket to the stem to take 
some of the weight, which is less than ideal and the rack will eventually 
fail anyway. But for the price of one Nitto front rack, you can blow 
through several of these and still be money ahead ;-)
I also really like the Velo Orange Flat-Pack rack, which is rock solid and 
has a wider platform than the small Nitto racks. I didn't try it with a 
139, but I'm confident it would work fine. I also have two bikes running 
Jack-The-Bike-Racks and love those racks - they make great, solid basket 
platforms.

Wow. That Memento site is dangerous. Beautiful stuff. Rawland looks great 
too. RatKing (original Tumbleweed T-rack maker!) also gorgeous. So much 
good stuff here. Think I'm going to be boring and go with a Velo Orange 
Porteur. Really really wish the Sams had forks with the bolts on the top 
for mounting the Tumbleweed T rack.  Thanks for all the help!!

[RBW] Re: Front basket rack recommendations

2023-09-22 Thread Brian Turner 
I purchased one of the Rat King RIP racks early on. I use it on my Gus 
currently. It's a great idea; having a rack platform that can securely 
mount and unmount a Wald 137 without futzing with zip-ties... but I do have 
a couple of issues with it. For one, and this is purely aesthetic, if you 
are looking for a nice silver or polished finish to go with other shiny 
bits on your bike, they don't really offer that. They are powdercoated, so 
none of their finishes really simulate the look of even Nitto's "dull 
bright". The one I got was called "dark chrome", and it was really just a 
dark grey color with some metallic sparkle. Inexplicably, the stays were 
black, and not the color of the rest of the rack. My biggest issue is with 
the light mount bracket. Frustratingly, it shares the same mounting bolt as 
one of the three metal tabs that secure the basket... so if you want to 
remove your basket, you also have to remove the light bracket and then 
re-install the bracket and adjust your light back to the way you had it 
before. A much better design would be a bracket that mounts along the 
length of the stay (like a Nitto daruma, or Shovel Research's light mount), 
or one that mounts to a separate hole under the rack platform.

I love these: Rip Rack from Rat King, Five Rail from Pass & Stow, or the 
34F from Nitto.

Pelago makes great racks that can attach to eyelets or through the axle 
(and then attach a Wald 139). The RBW rack is available through Blue Lug 
(Japan) for appx $100 less than sourcing it here in the states. You will 
pay a little bit for shipping, but it allows you to justify adding a bunch 
of fun Blue Lug stuff to your order

Hi Alex,

Just double checking - but you mention a Wald 139 basket (the larger one) 
and the Tunitas 137 tote (the one designed for the Wald 137 basket).

If you are looking for the larger basket, then the Pelago Rasket may be 
worth a look. It's another combo basket and front rack and the basket is 
slightly larger than the Wald 139.

In the latest PLP video, Russ brings to light a nice basket solution from a 
company called Manivelle. The Le Porteur version is a little less than 2 
lbs, which is kind of amazing for a basket and rack combination. The 
standard version seems to work well with a basket bag. Looks like you might 
spend under $100 for the Manivelle.
