Review on Wald 582 Folding Rear Basket for Enhanced SEO by Josh Garber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very important! - Cycling

I used to have a box attached to the back of my bike. What a mess - the zip ties often came loose leaving my valuable cargo unstable and vulnerable. These baskets were a huge upgrade. Assembly was quick and easy, all parts fit tightly. For about what a tank of gas costs these days I was able to install 2 sturdy baskets that should last for years. I just removed the baskets and replaced 2 inches back (as suggested by previous reviewers for more leg-to-pedal clearance). The second install was just as easy as the first and the stability seems to be the same so far. 12/26/12 - Update: I had to lube the pivots a bit, but I have bike lube so that's not a problem. I definitely recommend spraying it with polyurethane before using it. I didn't and now I have a few small rust spots on mine. I still think it's still a steal + sticking to my 5 star rating.
