Hey,

I have an All-City Macho Man (Canti) that I ride around the neighborhood and to the brewery and stuff, and I want to get a good front rack w/ basket combo I can throw a lock in and bungee my growler to for the brewery.

I am an absolute and total noob when it comes to racks and baskets and **** like that. I dont know what works, what doesnt, if cantis get in the way or anything.

Any thoughts/help/education/ideas?

Thanks!

Zip tie to whatever rack fits on the bike

Works fine.

wald + whatever rack.

I am using a PTAP basket bag (https://www.ptapdesigns.com/product/137-basket-bag) for work and I love it.

Nitto m12 + wald 137. The 137 should fit well if your drop bars are wide enough.

I have rocked straight up the wald. Its fine. Not as pretty and cool as the kids that use the rack to wald but its very usable... Have carried pretty big stuff in them. Cheap... Seriously, I love walds.

so when the basket is mounted to the handlebars, does the weight change the handling when you turn?
