Philip: Looks great. I figured an enterprising tinkerer could also fashion a sandwich out of flat steel/aluminum stock so they could grab two parallel sets of basket wires. As I have the front tab, all this thinking is purely academic. :) cc On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 1:03 AM, Philip Williamson < p

Hi Tony, I made a drawing (took me a minute to realize you were addressing me - I haven't answered to "Phil" in 25 years). http://www.biketinker.com/2013/projects/light-bracket-mounted-to-a-basket/ I have the basket, but not the mount or the need (I modified my E6 to hang upside-down under the

Rear triangle design - I can't honestly say if it makes any difference in ride quality, and I'm not sure I'd be able to tell between differences in tubing, tire size, sidewall suppleness, etc from any other bike I've ridden. The Elephant was recently made over with Nitto Campee racks where it

No rack tab on the Nitto M12 (at least on mine). I'd mount it with a P clamp, or straight to the basket with a short bolt and two fender washers, one inside the basket and one outside. Put the bolt head inside the basket (so you can carry full waterballoons safely), and an acorn (cap) nut on the

John, sounds like we've had similar circumstances this year. In Feb I moved from a condo .5 miles from work out of the city leaving me with a 7.5 mile commute by a mix of paved trail and city streets. It's taking me 35-45 min on average, I sometimes get a bit lower but usually find that a bi
