Chat prompted a search for a Wald/general baskets thread, but I couldn't find one...
Anyone had their Wald rattle loose with the stock fasteners?
Had mine (1392) almost a month and love it (and Restrap's Wald bag is excellent), but on the second day the top of the drive side leg came loose with <5kg aboard. Tightened (nearly rounding nuts sorta tight) but same happened again the next day, half way into a short 6km commute.
Not had a problem since replacing the plain nuts with nyloc ones, and adding some large washers to either side of those fastenings.
Also, (top tip!) replace the nuts of the fasteners that set the length of the legs with square nuts, then you don't need to use a socket or spanner to tighten.
