UPDATE: Box Dog are crazy busy right now (see blog if you care), Gabe is getting back to me about shipping, when I know something, you'll know something
NO MORE ORDERS FOR NOW
I know there are a bunch of people that are after a Wald #137 basket, normally only available in North America.
If you want one and are in Melbourne, contact me and I’ll see if I can get ~10 in the post. If you’re not in Melbourne it can be posted, but it’ll cost another $15-20 or so. Racks are ~USD$17, postage as yet unknown.
I’ve put up to ~4kg in mine. When it’s loaded, riding no hands gets hard, sudden steering movements are tricky as the weight damps the steering and there’s a whip as the basket springs and then catches up. This can be minimised by mounting it as low as possible and bracing it better. I need to chop my stays and drop it down over the front wheel. I may also replace the stays with tubular Aluminium. If you have canti posts, you can mount a teensy Minoura (or Nitto M12 if you’re flush with cash) rack from Abbotsford and ziptie it to that.
