I’m running a Wald #137 on a Surly 8-pack rack, and rubber ski straps work great for a quick release option as well. Stretchy enough that you can crank them down tight. I also used some sections of surgical tubing on the rack where it contacts the basket. This provides a little compression and slip resistance for the basket when you crank it down (also protects the rack). It’s a pretty bombproof setup!
