| Wald, 18x7-1/2x12, Rear, #535, Twin, Basket by From 13 Year Old Sport Bike to 2 Wheeled Cadillac! | My local bike shop attached this basket for me when I bought it from them today. As a college student with lots of class supplies, I needed good, fast transportation for me and all my stuff.I opted for the large size, but I was hoping they wouldn't be too wide due to traffic.
I really wasn't expecting the transformation: Before, it was an aqua and neon pink early 90's relic. After a new and very sturdy basket, I realized that I have a very fun-looking, useful two-wheeled utility vehicle with massive trunk space--for a bike.
You can't see it well in the diagram, but between the two baskets is a simple rack you can use to strap even MORE things to, so buying this basket is actually like buying three transport options at once!
From what I understand, rear mounted twin baskets are also the safest sort to get due to the location of extra weight and the ability to balance it between the two sides.
The baskets are big and roomy without being ridiculously wide (though they are not slim!), and on my sports bike I barely noticed the difference in weight while riding empty. The baskets are heavy, though, and can make transporting a bike by car a pain. There is enough room to throw a backpack or other large bag with in on one side and some more books, a canvas, and other things on the other.
The baskets ride level to my rear wheel, and don't get in the way of the rear reflector. I was afraid for a while that the build of the bike frame ad the basket wouldn't allow it to attach behind the seat properly, but I was wrong. I fit perfectly.
After years of not touching it, I feel like I've rediscovered my bike. These baskets are sure to turn "just another bike" into a gas saving tool.
Got an adult-sized bike? If you have lots of stuff to tote, then get these! You can't go wrong.
| | Wald, 18x7-1/2x12, Rear, #535, Twin, Basket by Functional Yet Confusing | | The basket works well and it is spacious enough; however, Wald provides so many screws/nuts/bolts but no instructions, I put it on and it's secure, but I do have extra parts left over? Did I install it right, I may never know.... | | Wald, 18x7-1/2x12, Rear, #535, Twin, Basket by Highly recommended, but heavy | I have used these baskets every day for the past 2 years to lug my books and laptop back and forth from home to law school and have hand no problems with the baskets. They are a great size - they can hold several textbooks and a lunch bag in one side and a laptop in the other side without any problem.
My only complaint about these baskets (as I'm sure people would complain about all baskets) is that they are very heavy. I don't know how much they weigh, but I would guess it adds a good 10-15 pounds to my bicycle wihtout anything in them, which is a pain. Then again, loading the bike with books and a computer adds 10 pounds as well, so no worries overall. | | Wald, 18x7-1/2x12, Rear, #535, Twin, Basket by Product Description | | Wald, 18x7-1/2x12, Rear, #535, Twin, Basket Large COMES WITH ALL NECCESSARY HARDWARE FOR MOUNTING |
