Wald 582 Folding Rear Bicycle Grocery Baskets (Set of 2)
Rabu, 24 Desember 2008
The Wald 582 sets the standard for ingenuity when it comes to rear baskets. Mounting to the side of almost any rear rack, this nimble basket is the perfect size for packing 1-2 bags of groceries while balancing your load. When not in use, the base of the basket pivots up allowing the side walls to collapse. A simple clamp at the top of the side panels keeps everything secured while the basket is folded up to one inch thick
Customer Review: does the job
My wife just gave these to me and I love them. Here are my pros and cons on the baskets.
Pros
1. Sturdy feel, does not rattle at all
2. Mounts easily, hardware worked fine for me
3. Holds standard paper or reusable grocery bag very well, holds a lot of stuff
4. folds out and then back up easily
5. takes up almost no space folded, and does not interfere with mounts for my co-rider or bike trailer, or with hanging my bike up
6. Always there, but not a glaring target for theft.
7. super handy
Cons
1. really should include lock nuts or washers, cheap and easy to replace on your own, though
2. no big deal at all, but must mount towards the back of rack for pedaling clearance
3. heavy
4. another nitpick, but it is a little harder to put my bike bag on my rear rack with these mounted
Pros are big and cons are small. I highly recommend the wald rear baskets. They greatly enhance the utility of my bike.
Customer Review: Very Handy
Bought a set of 2 of these baskets. Only attached 1 at this time.
Great for a bag of groceries or even a 12 pack.
Attached easily...Added a few zip ties for added strength to carry beer and water.
I also mounted a little further back than the picture shows. Your heel WILL hit the basket when you pedal if you don't.
