Customer Reviews

Must install correctly
This product must be installed correctly to operate correctly(Obvious, huh?). I originally didn't study the examples given and just installed it to however it seemed to work and I had the same complaint as the negative reviewer: The bottom bar that pushes against the headstem would just fall off(I positioned such that it was tilted downwards) causing the basket to smash right into the front tire! After I looked at the pictures(Like the one at the top of this page), it became apparent the bottom bar is suppose to tilt upwards where the headstem meets with the handlebar and after reconfiguring it, it has never fallen off and is pretty sturdy. It's also VERY convenient for trash(And other more endearing objects), like when you're going through the late-night drivethrough(It's happened before!). Also, my handlebars are much thicker than the bicycle's handlebars in the picture so the supplied handlebar mounts and screws didn't really work and it would've taken a thinner and much longer screw to mount it: instead, I just used solid core wire laying around and wrapped it really tight. The mounts are still not completely "grasping" the bar, but it's solid enough to work. I have a 2008 Diamondback Response moutain bike so maybe it's not meant for newer mountain bikes in general? Or Diamondbacks specifically? Or, specifically, responses?

Another note of caution is that the basket's handle is supposed to be in the pointing-up position when placing it on the rack, push in firmly and it should pop in, and then lay the handle to the side and it secures the top part of the basket. It appears like it should be pretty obvious, but I can understand how something like that can be missed since ... well... I don't remember it being in the instructions.

Great for around-town errands.
This is a wonderful little bike basket. I don't understand the reviewer who says it "falls off at the slightest touch"--I'm pretty sure they must have installed it incorrectly.

I'm very happy with it, and use it on my Cannondale hybrid bike to go to my local grocery. I was worried that it might not fit my bike, but (much to my relief) it wasn't a problem at all. The best part is that when I'm done with my errands and want to go out for a ride, I can take the basket off and the bike is back to its original look. Highly recommended.

A sturdy basket
nicely made with powder coat finish. I don't like that the lower support rubs on the post. They should put some nylon tubing on that so it doesn't scrape the paint.
