🚲 Altruism Removable and Collapsible Steel Bike Basket for Adult Mountain Bikes Review

Normal price. I like the fold option but the tradeoff is that it rattles a bit when riding. You'll find that the hardware that comes with it (two small nuts and bolts) is probably useless, you're better off using your own hardware to get a secure, quiet fit on your bike. I used my own 3 point mounting hardware with rubber bushings which made installation much easier.

What a wonderful little basket! I don't have this basket on my bike all the time (it gets in the way of my front reflector) so being able to fold it up for storage between uses is fantastic. However, it doesn't stay folded while driving, I tried it and when I hit my first bump in the road, it popped! One star deducted because the package arrived quickly, but had a strong plastic smell that even 2 weeks of airing couldn't get rid of.

After my soft side baskets were stolen from my bike while parked on the street, I bought these folding baskets. Installs with a minimal set of tools (screwdriver and ratchet). No instructions included but really very easy to install. I added a zipline to the bottom edges of the baskets to give the rear carrier a more stable fit. They are very easy to install and easy to fold. Definitely recommend these folding baskets to everyone!

I have to agree with another reviewer that this is quite a heavy basket. But that just means he has to hold more than other baskets with a 4-pound weight limit. I will be testing the features over the next few weeks and will let you know. I bought two but I think I'll only add them when I'm running a lot of errands as they are really easy to put on and take off. Four stars only because I'm a little worried about the weight being added to my already heavy bike. Otherwise I am very satisfied with
