Clever idea on the double nut axle! How do those things attach to the bars? Is it just a hook or is there some kind of securing bit? I don't care much for QR's (just toss a mini spanner in a seat bag) so if I can do the double nut, I'm good. How long was the axle and where'd you pick it up?

Aaron, is this universal to all their new non-QR baskets, or just that model? Wouldn't the axle mount be significantly stronger? Fender bolts are just M5's - significantly thinner than an axle!

Also, how's the "shimmy" under load on these?

Kukaburra: Nice Windsor! I was going for that originally but the smaller one doesn't have the nice flat top tube I want for vintage stylin'...
