| Wald 582 Rear Folding Basket 12.75 x 7.25 x 8.5 Black by Wald Rear folding bicycle baskets work great with a bag of groceries in each. |
| The baskets are working really well and I am very pleased with them. I had the Treck bags before which faded and had trouble with the hooks that clipped it onto the bike. |
| Wald 582 Rear Folding Basket 12.75 x 7.25 x 8.5 Black by Wald These baskets are amazing! |
I love these baskets! They are big enough to really put stuff in; like groceries from the farmer's market or my laptop and books when I go to study. Also, when you fold them up they disappear and look like part of the bike so they're less likely to attract attention and get ripped off.
The only problem I'm having is the added weight. They're not really heavy but I'm a small woman....so they do add some weight which makes it difficult for me to carry the bike to my balcony upstairs. |
| Wald 582 Rear Folding Basket 12.75 x 7.25 x 8.5 Black by Wald WAIT!!!! Must buy two! |
I ordered a wald rack (which I don't recommend) and picked the link on the page that suggested buying both the rack and the basket. I had been looking at wald baskets and the together price looked good so I clicked on it. The other baskets I had been looking at were SETS of two baskets-one for each side of the rack. This is just one. If you want your bike balanced you will need to order TWO of these baskets. Just FYI. Otherwise it doesn't seem bad, but I am confused why this one basket is not that much cheaper then the sets of TWO I was looking at.
So much for running to the grocery store this afternoon. :(
Hopefully this will save someone else from making the same mistake. |
| Wald 582 Rear Folding Basket 12.75 x 7.25 x 8.5 Black by Wald Perfect for running errands |
This basket is reasonably sturdy and the quality of the gloss black finish is excellent. The folding design works well. It looks as if it would rattle like crazy when you're riding with it folded, but thanks to the tight retention hooks, it's quite solid. The basket's nicely sized for grocery bags.
The downside here is the same as with the other Wald products I've tried: The mounting hardware is appallingly out of date. It's English, not metric, and Wald doesn't use locknuts, only lockwashers attached to the screws (where they are useless). This is less of an issue here than it is for the other Wald products, because this one doesn't attach directly to your bike, only to the rack. Go out and buy some locknuts and you'll have no problems.
Alas, the mounting clamps are too small to fit the fatter tubing used on many modern racks. You'll probably have to use the Wald rack (or some other old-school, inexpensive rack). And that rack is well-built and sturdy, but its mounting hardware has to be adapted to fit current bikes. |
| Wald 582 Rear Folding Basket 12.75 x 7.25 x 8.5 Black by Wald Great Haul |
| These things are wonderful! go ahead and buy a set of them, because they fold up so they dont get in the way like other rear mount baskets might, and they can hold quite a bit and still leave room for a bag or something to be put on top of the rack. Only problem I had was with the hardware that comes with it. I have a delta bike mount and had to go buy some longer screws and some zip ties to put them on, but that was worth it for these baskets, not every rack is the same afterall, LOVE EM! GET EM! |
