Customer Review
I purchased this item several months ago and it is a high quality steel wire basket that mounts rigidly to the front wheel forks if you use the struts that come with it. This basket is sturdy and can carry much more weight than the cheapies I've see at local sporting goods stores. However, it is critical to note that when you mount the basket using the strut as indicated on the instructions you LOSE YOUR FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERs if your bike has them. I realized this the hard way when I installed the basket and realized that the rigid strut prevents with two piece front forks (an upper and lower half) that are intended to move relative to each other (to absorb shocks when your wheel goes over rough surfaces) from moving. You not only end up with a rigid front wheel, but a bike basket strut that is constantly getting unintended loads from road inputs. It appears that this basket was designed before bike front wheels had shock absorbers. However, all was not lost. I was able to modify the struts using some basic tools and purchased fasteners so that the struts attach to the upper part of the fork so that the relative motion of the front forks can occur. Viola! I have my front shocks back and still have a sturdy front bike basket.

I bought this basket for my dog. The measurements were for the top of the basket instead of the bottom. The dog fits, but it's a little cramped. The basket is good quality, if only the measurements were more accurate.
