Re: [RBW] rack for Wald 139

[Keith Paugh]

I have a Sim Works Obento under my 139 Half basket. It has a slightly wider footprint than the other racks I researched, and has been fantastic. Very stable & light. I’ve been really pleased. That being said, if I was going to do it again (and might do anyway), I think I’d get a Pass & Stow rack. I love that you can run your generator light cable internally, and I think the welded support struts look stronger and more nicely laid out than anything else I’ve seen. The times I’ve seen a photo of a bike and said “ooo, what rack is that?!” - it’s usually been a Pass & Stow. k.

Definitely keeping weight in mind and also surface area below the basket.  I suspect something both wider and longer would be best.

I have one and use it with a 137 and like it a lot.  Might work well with a 139.   Do keep the amount of weight you might want to carry (for safety) in mind though.   Nick Sent from my iPad On Apr 11, 2023, at 5:29 PM, J Schwartz <jasonas...@gmail.com> wrote: Greetings I'm interested in racking my Wald 139 big basket and am curious what ppl are using for a rack. I just got an email that the basket rack is back in stock at RBW, and I'm considering just buying it but I'm really just not onboard with spending $288 on a front rack despite how well it's made and special it is..  I may pull the trigger on it anyway but wanted to check here to see what users of the 139 are doing to attach it to the fronts of their bikes. I already have an old Nitto R14 "Top Rack" that I know some people have used in the front and zipped a 139 on top.  Mine is older and doesn't have any diving board provisions so it's only 4 struts but I assume it's strong enough if installed well.   My intention was to use that rack on the rear of the bike though. Any suggestions for a support for the 139 that isn't $288? thanks JS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
