Deacon Patrick, I want to thank you again for the trail suggestions. Our family had a wonderful time on the MUP riding from Breckenridge to Frisco and Lake Dillon and I scouted the Boreas Pass road for a family ride on our next trip to Colorado, which we've already planned for next summer.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think I'll start with the Wald struts and modify if I find it necessary.

[RBW] The Wild and Wonderful World of Wald
One of these days I will offer opinions rather than soliciting them, but today is not one of those days. What does the collective wisdom say about mounting a Wald basket with Wald manufactured struts (for example, the 1372 that Wald sells, or the "Clem Bosco Basket" that Riv sells) versus attaching a Wald basket to a front rack? Obviously, the latter SEEMS more stable and stout than the former, but I'm curious to know if anyone has ever actually experienced an issue with the rackless method carrying a load of less than, say, ten pounds. I mean, these things were originally designed so that children could haul around and deliver heavy stacks of newspapers and large bottles of morphine in various child labor rackets, right? Surely, they can handle my coffee kit and some snacks. But I figure there are some other pros to the rack attached method other than general sturdiness: it gives you the option to mount front panniers, the ability to mount the basket at a lower height than if you were to attach the basket to the handlebars (as you do in the rackless method), and the option of taking the basket off altogether and still having a rack to use. Am I missing any other considerations? The one pro of rackless method seems to be the significantly cheaper price. But maybe there are others? Thank you for any advice or experience you can offer.

Deacon Patrick, Please don't take my delayed response to your last set of replies as a sign of lack of appreciation. We were out of town visiting family over the long weekend and I didn't have the technological means to reply. That being said, thank you very much for your insight! You saved me hours of research and gave me something perfectly tailored to our capabilities. I am literally counting down the days (29 days from today) until I can explore these trails with my family (and maybe for a few hours without them).

Thanks to everyone for the quick and helpful replies. You’ve given me quite a lot of options to consider! And thanks to Garth for reminding me to trust my instincts. Deacon Patrick, our family will mostly be riding the easiest trails we can find around Breckinridge, although I may try to find some (slightly) more challenging terrain with my oldest two children. Esoterica, I’m riding a 52 Clem H with the stock tubed 27.5 wheels it came with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Does anyone have any knobby tire suggestions for a 52 Clem H?
I'm travelling to Colorado in a couple of weeks, and think I may need something more than the stock Kendas that have, so far, been perfectly suitable for paved and gravel bike paths of Dallas. But maybe I'm wrong? Although I've ridden bikes my whole life, putting much thought into what and how I'm riding is a fairly new thing for me.
