My wife on her Betty uses a Mark's mini with a medium Wald basket and it works fine for the light loads she rides with. I on the other hand have the same basket but attached to a Gomah porteur rack. This works extremely well for me and I can carry quite a bit. My bike is not a Riv so handling might be different for those on Riv's, but barely noticeable until it hits 15 pounds and more. With the weight I carry I can ride no hands with no ill effect on the steering.
To the OP, I saw your photos with the Wald but as someone else already said, having the weight lower would help tremendously. As much as I like the crates, I would be concerned with total weight of the bike. I would definitely go with a front rack and then attaching whatever you want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
