Not a pre-order, per se. But I'm fortunate to live in Portland where, as many of you know, John Bennet ran Rivelo as a Rivendell outpost for 5 years. When he shuttered early this year, kindred soul Kevin Purcell at Golden Pliers took over the local Rivendell dealership in what appeared to be a

I guess I missed this the first time, but it looks like the strap is there to keep the rack itself from bouncing around? I ask because I’m amazed that the rack would have that much movement. I see you’ve zip-tied the basket to the rack, so the problem isn’t with the basket moving around? If
