Trouser Clips. Also known as Quilters Clips or Bicycle Clips. This is the simple metal spring steel band that keeps your pants out of the chainwheel. It works beautifully. Sewing supply stores don't carry them anymore, LBS looks at you like your stupid and wants to sell you a velcro strap

I wouldn't mind seeing a more deliberate/integrated front rack/LG Wald basket combo. A lot of people seem fine with using zip ties to attach the Wald to a Nitto or porteur front rack, but it always seemed like a workaround for a real solution that didn't exist. Wald is MUSA, no? Maybe work
