Review on Wald Front Bicycle Basket Black Sports & Fitness by Ikki Martini

Good all-purpose basket. Fairly stable, although under heavy loads it shows some lateral sway which can be a little confusing. Good for carrying things on my travels. I'm deducting a star for this wobble. You can use anti-roll bars placed closer to the ends of the handlebars, or maybe diagonal braces on top of the legs. Installation is easy. The clips that wrap around the handlebars should be pointing down more than forward, moving the rear basket lower and closer to the handlebars. The picture of the basket shows the clamps straight up, in this position the basket sits on top of the brakes where the cable connects. I have "urban" handlebars, not straight or foldable. To flatten the mounts and move the rear of the basket further up and forward I used the supplied rubber washers between the clamps and the handlebar and tightened the bolts securely. Due to the weight of the items in the basket, the clips are a little bent, but they hold up. If I were to lower the clamps to the vertical position, I would have to route the brake/shift cables through the basket to avoid very sharp bends in the cables. The legs have two holes at the bottom, a smaller one to fit the fender eyelets and a larger one to go through the axle and tighten with front axle nuts or skewers. I used a screw wing mount. I recently used it on a 3 day 150 mile camping trip with a pair of rear panniers. I had some camping stuff with me. It came in handy for carrying extra water bottles, and I hung a very small amount of wet laundry on it the day after the park ranger let us take our clothesline (he obviously didn't notice the cable locks stretched around the trees). .) I don't think I was carrying more than 10 pounds. anytime in it. If you think something is going to fall out of the basket, put a towel or t-shirt inside and tie it so it doesn't get blown away by the wind. It's a decent basket, practical and cheap. The black finish looks great on my bike. It costs about $150 less than the front panniers and racks I'd rather have, but price is a factor.
