I wasn't considering mounting it directly to the quick release skewer since the instructions from wald's site explicitly said not to do that. Are some of you running it like that, without the additional front rack for support? Have you had any problems? How much weight have you had in it with the setup like that?
I've only used eyelets. It always seemed like a bit of a hassle to mount to a q/r but I don't see a serious problem with it, esp. if you use what NLerner suggests. btw, the rack I have on my Stumpjumper (post 2) is actually a rear rack. It looks slightly goofy I guess but not that bad as the basket is pretty large. I'd really recommend a rack unless you plan to keep the load fairly light.
