I'm in the middle. I think Wald baskets are ugly but practical. The double rear ones are terribly heavy. Kurt's criticisms of them are fair.
Hose clamps are better than zip ties, not only because they are durabler but also because you can undo them and redo them on the road with a wrench or screwdriver. Well I guess that shows you that I carry wrenches but not spare zip ties or snippers.
Our tandem bike was Rivendell-ized by @
fender1. I never would have thought to do this, and it works so much better than I expected. We use the Sackville bag, and it's so much nicer than I would have thought.
